Not really. You need a professional, unfortunately.
Lesson here is, if it's really that important to you, back it up. SD cards, thumb drives, etc, are considered volatile, so never expect them to last.

If it's a lightly damaged card, you may be able to be recovered with software designed for that purpose.
But if it's heavily damaged, you'll need A data recovery service to recover the data if it can be saved.
Don't format the card - that will erase everything that is on it.
Are you okay? -

I also wouldn't advise formatting, but… providing they don't save anything else on the card, providing it remains blank, the previous data will still be there. All formatting does is reallocate the whole of the drive for new data. "Wiping" a card doesn't technically erase the data. It doesn't copy over it with "blankness", it simply tells the computer to treat that data as if it doesn't exist and allow new data to be saved over it. A data specialist could read it.
TL:DR Don't think that by formatting a drive you've erased all the data. If you want to erase data you need specific software that will copy over all the existing data with gobblede**** then present the disk as blank.

GRAND should take it to the IT department of his local sheriff's department and tell them he's got evidence of a murder on the SD card. They'll probably throw him in jail after they see it's only pics of puppies and kittens, but at least he'll have the content.

I was able to recover 70% of the material.
I came across this YouTube video.
Hetman Partition Recovery software was able to recover 70% of the data from the flash drive. This is probably the best result so far. In general, I am satisfied because I was able to recover most of the material for a small amount of money. -

So sorry to hear about your SD card trouble. I can imagine how frustrating that must be. Have you considered trying data recovery tools like Recuva or PhotoRec? They might help retrieve your important material. Also, regarding your JPEGs, have you thought to
compress jpeg
to save space? Hope you get your photos back soon!
