How To Fix and Repair Corrupted MP4 Files Easily

Mannatjot Singh • Updated March 27, 2020 • 4 min read • 1 Comment

In recent times, it has become a trend to increase the number of cameras on a smartphone. It all started with dual rear-facing cameras and now we have a quad-camera setup introduced by Samsung. Due to this, many people are now shooting more videos with their smartphones and are editing all those videos on the go. These videos are shot “.mp4” format which is the basic format of every video shot on a smartphone. These files can be corrupted easily and are necessary to fix corrupted MP4 files.

Sometimes, these videos have some issues that can be due to many reasons, like, transferring videos to an unsafe system, removing the SD Card/smartphone while transferring the videos, etc. These files can end up being unplayable from the system and can be corrupted if the system is also corrupted. So, in this article, I am going to show you how to repair damaged files using a simple tool.
