What is CardRecovery?

CardRecovery is a Windows utility (offered as CardRescue on Mac) built by WinRecovery Software specifically for recovering photos and videos from memory cards. Its SmartScan engine scans a card sector by sector using knowledge of common image and video file structures to recover files even after deletion or formatting. It works in a read only mode that never writes to the source card, and it supports SD, CF, Memory Stick, xD, XQD, and similar card types from most camera and phone brands.

The software can be downloaded and used for free to scan a card and preview recoverable files. Saving the recovered files requires purchasing a single perpetual license, which includes two years of free upgrades and technical support with no recurring fees.
