FootageRescue says it can repair interrupted WAV recordings for free in your browser, without uploading the file.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-25 issue.

For: Audio recordists with interrupted WAV files
Worth noticing: The page says repairs preserve timecode and iXML metadata, and save files over 4 GB as RF64.

Field notes

The page explains that recorders write audio as they go and fill in the WAV header when recording stops; an interruption can leave the header reporting an empty file. It says the repair writes a new file rather than altering the original, and handles large files piece by piece. Its founder account links the project to a Rome podcast and video studio that lost a 44-minute interview to a dead battery.
