IntactFile vs Yodot Video Repair

IntactFile repairs corrupted videos, PDFs, ZIP, RAR and 7z archives, Office documents, JPG and PNG photos, and SQLite databases in a browser tab. Its repair engines rebuild damaged file structures around data that remains, such as indexes or headers, and run on the user's device; the maker says files are not uploaded. Diagnosis is free for each file, so users can see the problem before choosing a repair. Repairs are checked against format rules, and failed repairs are not charged. The Free plan allows 3 repairs per day, with video files up to 50 MB and documents, archives, and photos up to 10 MB. Paid choices include a single repair for €5.90 per once, credit packs, and annual plans: Pro is €4.92 per year and Business is €16.58 per year. Business adds CLI, SDK, and MCP server access; developer repairs require an active Business subscription and Node 22 or later. IntactFile cannot recover overwritten data, video never written to disk, or files containing only zero bytes.

Yodot Video Repair is desktop software for repairing damaged or unplayable video files on Windows and macOS. It is described as addressing header corruption, audio-video sync problems, choppiness, jerkiness, blurriness, graininess, and distortion. Supported formats include MOV, MP4, M4V, AVI, XVID, and DIVX, with AVC (H.264) and HEVC (H.265) codec support listed. The automatic workflow is to select a damaged video, run Repair, preview the result, and save it to a chosen location. A reference file is required. Yodot says the tool works on a copy, leaving the original unmodified during repair. It lists videos from Canon, Nikon, and Sony cameras, GoPro and DJI devices, iPhones, and Android phones among those it can repair. The free demo allows a repaired AVI file to be previewed, but saving it requires purchase. Yodot advertises free technical support and a 30-day money-back policy for purchases.
