Smartphones have become a significant part of your lives, especially when it comes to capturing photos and videos on the go. Their built-in cameras are continuously getting better with larger screens, high resolution, and several AI features. No doubt, whether Android or iPhone, these devices are giving DSLRs a run for their money.

Having said, protecting these photos for a lifetime always bothers users.

Can you really keep your digital photos and videos forever?

The answer is ‘Yes,’ but it is indeed a task to manage hundred thousands of photos and videos shot with Android, iPhones and other cameras.

This blog describes different solutions to recover deleted photos and videos caused due to any reason from iPhone, Android, SD card, and hard drive.

How to recover deleted photos from smartphones, cameras, PC, & Mac drives

Digital photos are usually stored in your mobile phone internal memory, SD card, computer or external hard drive. However, these storage media and drives have a limited life span depending on their usage (read/write cycle). Also, they can get corrupt anytime due to virus infection or mishandling causing loss of stored data. Accidental deletion and formatting are the other most common reasons that cause loss of multimedia files.

Let’s know how you can recover and tackle the loss of pictures, videos, songs etc., from different devices:

  1. Recover photos, videos from iPhone
  2. Recover from Android phone
  3. Recover photos, videos from Camera, SD card, PC, Mac & external hard drive

1. Recover photos, videos from iPhone

Accidental deletion, jailbreak, water damaged, broken or even stolen iPhone, whichever the case, you are most worried about the lost data in your iPhone. In any such situation, Apple’s own backup solutions are your best bet. You can easily recover lost Camera Roll, Photo Stream, voice memos, music, Notes, etc., from iCloud or iTunes backup. However, here’s a drawback – recovery from these methods will replace your current data on iPhone.

Recover from iPhone

If you do not want to part with the existing data on your iOS device and recover only those lost files, Stellar Data Recovery for iPhone is the most feasible option. The software also works when you are unable to restore any lost data from iTunes or iCloud.

It offers three recovery options — ‘Recover from iPhone’, ‘Recover from iTunes Backup’, and ‘Recover from iCloud Backup’. You can select and recover only the desired content rather than restoring all unwanted data iPhone, iTunes or iCloud.

2. Recover multimedia files from Android phone

Android phones are most susceptible to data loss. Accidental deletion, virus, or formatting can lead to loss of saved photos, videos, and audio files. However, if you keep the backup in Google Photos, Dropbox or any other cloud storage or drive, directly reinstate the lost Android data from there. Else, use Android SD card recovery software — Stellar Recovery for Android.  The Android data recovery software can restore deleted photos, videos, contacts, messages, and call history etc.

The software recovers your lost data from both Android phone’s internal memory and external SD card.

3. Recover deleted photos from Camera, SD card, PC, Mac & external hard drive

Whether a photographer or common user, you prefer to store camera photos and videos in SD card, computer or external hard drive.

Nevertheless, the bitter truth is that none of the storage drive and media is data loss proof. They are prone to corruption and damage. Moreover, deletion, formatting, and virus infection in the media can lead to data loss anytime.

In any such situation, use a professional software that can retrieve lost multimedia files from memory cards, SD cards, computer or external hard drive etc.

Moreover, it recovers media files without hampering their original quality. The software supports both external hard drive and SD card recovery. It is available for both Windows and Mac.

      Hi Gaurav,
      Such cases happen when you try to save the recovered files on the same location from where you were trying to recover. It is recommended that save your recovered photos to a different location to avoid corruption.

      How disabled it is? Is your iPhone water damaged or only the screen is broken? A damaged or broken iPhone is recovered in data recovery labs. However, if it’s intact then give a try to Stellar Recovery for iPhone Software and use its preview option check whether all your deleted photos are recovered. Note: You will require registering the software to save recovered iPhone data to another media.
