Re: Repair damaged jpeg files from ransomware

One could maybe use deleted files recovered from the disk of the same pc, as an 'unmodified jpg from the same camera'

Re: Repair damaged jpeg files from ransomware

I had some success with the program I mentioned before. Without the need for the unmodified jpeg from the same camera. About 50% success. If the picture is bigger, the chances are better to recover the picture. The program name was deleted from my first post.

Ok, perhaps I did not explain properly.
A friend of mine installed program with virus.
His pictures got encrypted with ransomware.
Jpeg files got encrypted. First part of the image got encrypted, and the jpeg file got renamed to olfg.

Repair damaged jpeg files from ransomware

I deleted your post because it appears to me as a fake case just to promote some software.
If I had a particular JPEG issue I would try

www.disktuna.com

which is not priced as high as USD 30,- for 30 days of use - the software you are referring to.
I have not used this software but would be ...
