If the card has physical damage and neither macOS nor Windows can properly read it, software recovery tools usually won’t help much. At that point, the most realistic option is a reputable professional data recovery service.

If the photos are very important, stop trying home remedies, since repeated attempts can sometimes make recovery harder. If they’re not worth professional recovery cost, one more software option people have had luck with is PhotoRec, but that’s mainly useful when the card is readable enough for data access.

For a card with bite damage, a specialist recovery lab is the safest recommendation. Services such as Kroll Ontrack or DriveSavers were suggested in the discussion as well-known options. A recovery company can evaluate the card and tell you what is recoverable before proceeding.

So in short: if the images matter, use a professional service; if not, PhotoRec may be one last DIY attempt, but expectations should be low with physical damage.
