Stellar is a general use recovery application by the same developers. Stellar Photo Recovery is much easier to use and is a non-technical recovery tool aimed at photographers. If PhotoRec isn’t right for you, here are some alternatives I recommend. The GPL v2+ license (GNU General Public License) means that you can use and distribute the software free of charge. Recovered photos and files must be saved to a different drive to protect your lost data from being lost. It performs scans in read-only mode to make sure your data is not overwritten. Support can be obtained from other users on the PhotoRec Forum and the developer seems quite active there as well. The official PhotoRec website offers step-by-step guides on how to use the software as well as a comprehensive 60-page PDF. Data recovery can never be guaranteed-in time, the lost data will be overwritten. Many users had success when using the software, but not all. CNET gave the application a user rating of 4.3 stars based on 23 reviews. The CG Security blog lists successful tests performed by users running a number of different operating systems. PhotoRec seems quite effective at recovering lost data in a number of scenarios. A full list of supported file formats is maintained. Supported file types: 480 file extensions are supported including ZIP, Office, PDF, HTML, JPEG, and various graphics file formats.

Common Linux formats including ext2/ext3/ext4, but not ReiserFS.

The older HFS+ Mac format, but not APFS that comes preinstalled on all new Macs.

It has been successfully tested on the following digital cameras: Supported storage media: Hard disks, CD-ROMs, memory cards (CompactFlash, Memory Stick, Secure Digital/SD, SmartMedia, Microdrive, MMC, and more), USB memory drives, DD raw images, and more.

This is slower but has the potential of locating a larger number of lost files. Method of data recovery offered: A scan of the underlying data (rather than the file system) so that data on damaged or formatted drives can be recovered. As you take more photos, the data will be overwritten, so it’s important to stop taking photos or saving files when you realize you’ve accidentally deleted something. How is data recovery possible? When a photo is deleted, the data isn’t removed, but just marked as available space.
