Hi all, the CR2 files from my camera are broken or corrupt, i couldn't open or repair them. File sizes are 25-30mb. I wetransfered two of them to give you an idea  :) https://we.tl/RWKfds5nZ5 Are there any chance to fix them? Can you help me? Thank you for your time, every thing that can be rescued will be helpful.

I'll look at them when I can, but in the mean time, try running this command on a few of them (using the latest version of ExifTool):

exiftool -validate -warning -a FILE

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

I had a look at the files and while they contain data, there does not seem to be any image data contained in them. Only  IMG_1891.CR2 contained a tiny 160x120 image (attached) that I was able to extract with Phil's extract_preview script.

Hopefully you have a backup from which you can restore the files because they do seem beyond repair.

Thank you for your time =) still i couldn't solve the problem.
I'm not great with codes. Is there any chance you may help me out?

I'm not sure what you mean. Do you need help with the extract preview script?
