OTHER FEATURES

Add More Power

Save Scan Information and Resume Recovery

Save Scan Information and Resume Recovery

The image recovery software 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 the 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 your Own File Type for Recovery

Add your Own File Type for Recovery

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

Create Image of Selected Media

Create Image of Selected Media

With time and continuous usage, internal and external drives/storage media develop bad sectors. This kind of damage often makes data stored on the device inaccessible. With Stellar Photo Recovery, 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 be used later to recover lost photos and videos with the help of the software.

Comprehensive Scanning with Deep Scan Option

Comprehensive Scanning with Deep Scan Option

The digital photo recovery software searches for lost files on the basis of file signature. In case, after the quick scan, your desired file is not included in the list of files detected, you can opt for Deep Scan to perform a comprehensive scan of the selected drive or location. Improved scanning engine ensures quick and accurate media file recovery.

View Scan Results in Different Ways

View Scan Results in Different Ways

View the found multimedia files in three different ways - File Type, Tree View, and Deleted List. Sorted and easy-to-view scan results help in quickly identifying the relevant photos, videos, and audio files for recovery. File Type view groups file according to photos, videos, and audio. Tree View allows you to navigate to the media file location. You can view and restore only the deleted files from the Deleted List.

Supports Unicode File Recovery

Supports Unicode File Recovery
