What is File Corruption

File corruption is the process of intentionally damaging or altering specific bytes in an existing file to test how applications and systems handle corrupted data. This is essential for testing error detection, data recovery mechanisms, file validation processes, and ensuring application robustness when dealing with damaged files.

What is an Online File Corruptor

An online file corruptor is a web-based tool that selectively corrupts bytes in uploaded files without requiring software installation. It allows you to control the corruption percentage and choose whether to preserve the beginning and end of files, making it perfect for developers and testers who need to simulate real-world file damage scenarios.

How to Corrupt a File

Upload the file you want to corrupt, adjust the corruption percentage slider to control how much of the file will be damaged, optionally enable preservation of the file's beginning and end sections, and click 'Corrupt File' to download the corrupted version with random byte alterations applied to the specified portions.
