Photorec has failed to disclose my deleted files on 32GB sd card

Now TESTDISK search has shown my desired files(all listed in RED COLOUR TEXT )and i copied them successfully.

The problem is none of the file opens up after i copied them to directory folder.

Are my files healthy and do i have a chance to recover them ??

Please help me in detail sir

It looks like your file content has already been overwritten.

But i have successfully copied all the JPG, PNG and videos files in original folders with proper sizes and original names.

Is there any wayout to deal this (like repairing those files or something).

Yes, but the content copied is not genuine. It is some other random data maybe containing parts of the original data.
Your original data is either overwritten or at different locations.
There is nothing to replace overwritten content.

You can try to assemble clusters manually.
I did this twenty years ago with a broken excel file of a collegue of mine.
It contained the invited list of people for his marriage.
It was just 2 clusters long so I only had to find the right cluster number two.
It was pretty easy for me because it was an xls-file and by just looking at the disc with a hex editor I found the right one. Today I would fail with an xlsx-file.

You can search for repair tools. You find some for the most common file types.

I don't really see any chance based upon your description.

Does it make a difference if the pictures were in white lettering? I'm new and I had the same problem, tried photorec, with paranoid on brute enabled and keep corrupted files, yet i couldn't find them, i found them with testdisk and copied them but they also seem corrupted, but difference from OP is that my files that i found and then copied were in white lettering. Does that make it different situation were they are still salvageable?
