I have several jpeg files that have truncated or incomplete problem.  I had attempted to modify these file using Adobe\Photoshop 6.0. But when I saved the file back to the flashcard it expanded the file to the larger size and it ran out of room on the card.  The file is OK from the OS point of view.  Using Photoshop preview, before loading the file, I can see the image that I want but after loading the file the image is bad (it has pieces of other images in it). While loading the file I get the following message "This document may be damaged (the file may be truncated or incomplete)."

Because I can see the image in the preview I know that it is still there.  How can get the EOF fixed so that I get just the image that I want?

Thanks
SStark

I do have the same type of problem, but I also have some JPEG files which is missing 1/3 or more of the picture.

Do anyone know a tool that can check multiple JPEG files for truncation errors?

I just want to get rid of these files so it should be able to find and delete these.

Thanks

Yes I have the same problems and would really like to know what is causing them.  It only happens when I save on a PC (onto a CD) and try to open them on my mac.
Can anyone shed any light?

I am having the same problem. I can see the pictures from the OS point of view, but when I open them they have issues. Please help me find an answer. I would hate to lose so many family photos.

Dear expert

Some how I have formatted my hard-disk, but after using a third party software, I have recovered all 100% of my data but out of these 20% are now corrupt specially the jpeg files. Though the size of the files remains the same but there are no pictures. I think the header or information file is only corrupt! Can I recover these pictures using your software’s?

Warm regards

Just because you can see a thumbnail image preview doesn't mean the file is good.  The thumbnail is essentially another file that is attached to the image and generated at the time the file was originally created.

I am also looking for a solution to any way to fix truncated files.  I fear that it is not possible, but am hopeful.

I also wanted something that could check for partial JPEG files, and couldn't find anything, so I wrote my own tool to check them. It's 'Simple JPEG Check', you can find it on my website: http://drspud.no-ip.com/
It's a command-prompt program, but you can just drag & drop files onto the .exe. It won't fix them or check them extensively, but it will tell you about each non-JPEG or truncated/partial file.
