Can these old pictures be recovered?
Refrigerator:
I have some old pictures from 2016 that are corrupted and i would very much like to recover them. But can they be recovered?
When i check the properties tab they show up as ~1.5meg in size and show the correct date so they're not completely gone but the images themselves are pretty messed up.
Ed.Kloonk:
File type and upon what file system?

These are .jpeg and they came from an SD card from my old phone (Z1 compact).
Oddly enough all the other pictures are fine but the ones i need are corrupted.
Syntax Error:
I would need to see an original file to ascertain where or how the data is damaged. A corrupted jpeg looks like random set of colored blocks followed by black or no image. What are these, images of the moon or the inside of a pocket? It's possible that just a tiny fragment of the image is being stretched out into the frame to give this cloudy texture. But without an orginal, I could not say if they can be reclaimed. :(

I was expecting blocks, but I guess that's a plausible mechanism to get this cloudy image.
Some JPEG decoders cope better than others with bad files, it's worth trying a few and seeing if you get any different results.
