repair broken jpg files

[holzfelix]

I have several defective JPGs.
(I have no data loss I have them all still in whole and various backups.) So that is not part of the question.

My specific question is, are there good tools to fix broken jpgs. To repair. I've been working on it for a while now and I think the file contents are all still there.

The defects show up as large gray areas or artifacts.

Welcome. Are you posting these directly from a memory card or have they been copied to the computer first?

Hey, copied to the pc first.

I was just wondering. My first thought is that the card is corrupted; you might want to format it before using it again, or just replace it; they are relatively inexpensive.

As far as fixing the photos, I don't really know. Try searching for something like "jpg repair software" for options.
