Module B — Archive Repair
Repair damaged ZIP archives — locally.
Analyze archive health, salvage recoverable files from truncated or incomplete downloads, and rebuild a new ZIP from successfully recovered entries. RecoverIQ never uploads your archive contents and never recreates missing download bytes.
What it does
Salvage what is physically present.
When a ZIP download stops at 600 MB of an expected 1 GB file, RecoverIQ scans the available bytes, identifies recoverable entries, and extracts only data that is actually on disk. Missing bytes are reported honestly — they are not invented.
