In order to recover corrupted images, keep the original images safe without overwriting them in the device in which they are stored. You can try opening them using another viewing application and see whether you have a proper backup of them. In case if the pictures are there but have some errors, there are specific software tools for image repair and corrupted file recovery that might work depending upon the kind of corruption in them. If the pictures are deleted or have become inaccessible due to partition issues in storage, then one must recover the data first before any changes like formatting of drive etc. Notchox can be used for Photos Recovery and Corrupted File Recovery in Windows and mac OS devices.
