RepairMyVideo review
A free web service for repairing large, damaged video files with playability checks.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
RepairMyVideo is a browser-based service for recovering damaged or unplayable video files. It rebuilds damaged container indexes and file structures, then provides a recovered download after checking whether the result plays. Supported containers include MP4, MOV, MKV, and AVI, with additional support for H.264, HEVC, MPEG-4, Canon Cinema MJPEG, and AverMedia c285 captures. It is suited to people who need an online repair workflow for large recordings, including Sony XDCAM/XAVC camera-card folders that can be processed and concatenated into an MP4.
The published service details show a free product while in beta, with automatic repair and batch processing. Direct uploads support files up to 25 GB, while larger files can be submitted through Google Drive links. An optional healthy clip from the same camera can provide a reference for the repair, so the reference file is not required. The workflow also includes automated playability verification before results are provided, followed by a watermarked preview before downloading the recovered file. Google Drive is the listed integration, and the service runs on the web.
RepairMyVideo is a practical choice for users whose files match its supported containers, codecs, or camera workflows and who prefer not to install software. Its focus is recovery rather than broader video editing or media management. Users working with unsupported formats, needing a desktop application, or requiring a stated size limit for Google Drive submissions should consider whether the listed compatibility and workflow meet their needs before proceeding. The optional reference clip and Sony camera-card handling make it more suitable for certain recording scenarios than a basic single-file repair page, while automatic processing keeps the repair mode straightforward.
