I’m getting errors when trying to open some JPEG files

I’m getting errors when trying to open some JPEG files—they either won’t open or show corrupted images. These files might have been damaged during transfer or storage. Has anyone dealt with similar JPEG corruption before? What tools or methods did you use to repair or recover these images?

First, try opening the images with different programs like IrfanView or XnView. Sometimes the default viewer just gives up, but other apps can handle damaged files better.

If that doesn’t work, there are some repair tools you can try, like Stellar Repair for Photo or JPEG Repair Toolkit. They’re pretty good at fixing common issues like messed-up headers.
