Features and Highlights

Recover SD Card
Undelete your seemingly lost photos and media from damaged/corrupted/ inaccessible memory cards, Flashcards, SD Cards (Mini, Micro, SDHC, and SDXC), Smart Media Cards, secure MMC and CF Cards. Supported cameras include Sony, Nikon, Canon, Samsung, Pentax, Minolta, Kodak, Sigma, Fuji, Olympus, Epson, Mamiya, and Panasonic. Moreover, the software also helps you to recover SD card after formatting.

Create Image of selected media
With time and continuous usage, internal and external drives/media develop bad sectors. This kind of damage often makes data stored on the device inaccessible. With the photo recovery desktop software, you can create a sector-by-sector image of the entire or a selected range of media so that the data stored on the remaining good sectors can be saved. This image can then be used to recover data through the software.

Save Scan information & Resume Recovery
The image recovery software from Stellar lets you save the directory tree structure generated after a drive/volume scan to a desired location on the disk. The information is saved as a file that can be used to regenerate the tree structure of found files/folders or to resume recovery at a later stage. You can choose to save the result of the complete procedure or stop the scan at any time and save the information up to that point.

Add new file headers to list of supported formats
If you’re unable to see the file format of the items you wish to recover in the supported file types feature of the software, you can either edit any of the existing file types or add new file headers manually or automatically. This feature makes this product the best photo recovery software available in the market. It gives the application extended flexibility and increases its utility.

Recover from a specific region on hard disk/volume
Digital photo recovery software allows you to scan only a desired region of the hard drive or volume. Media files found in the region are provided for preview and recovery. It is also possible to scan media for desired file types only. This option is useful in case you know exactly where a lost photo/picture or file resided before it was deleted or what its file type was.

Different types of file previews supported
With the launch of a new version of the software, three preview types have been added for you to view deleted/lost files and folders before recovering them. Classic List lists the files/folders as they are found on the hard disk, File List lists files/folders as per media type (for example, document, audio, video, archive, etc.) and Deleted List lets you see the list of deleted files.

Enhanced user interface and customizable options
Another reason why this application is regarded as the best photo recovery software is its user-friendliness. The latest version comes equipped with a new and improved interface to make the usage of the tool smoother and more interesting. In addition to more preview types, more views to display scan results, and customizable options such as zoom-in / zoom-out options for photos, options to check/uncheck files, and folders for recovery with spacebar and more, are also provided.

RAW Recovery support with the improved Scanning engine
The product supports the RAW recovery of files in case the usual recovery procedure does not yield satisfactory results. RAW recovery works on the principle of file signature recognition and conducts a deeper scan to retrieve lost/deleted files. Improved scanning engine ensures your files and folders are found out quickly thus enabling the digital photo recovery software to restore all data accurately.

Supports Unicode file recovery
The picture recovery software from Stellar stands out from other free deleted photo recovery programs in many aspects. Take the Unicode file recovery for example. In addition to recovery from different types of media and of different file formats, v7.0 of the software also supports the recovery of Unicode files.

Works smoothly with media having > 2TB storage
Most of the free photo recovery tool available in the market fail to work properly with devices having large storage capacities. However, the picture recovery software from Stellar helps you to recover deleted pictures from media with size as huge as 2TB and more.
