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
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 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
The picture recovery software from Stellar stands out from other free deleted photo recovery software in many aspects. In addition to recovery from different types of media and different file formats, the new version of the software also supports the recovery of Unicode files.
