Hetman Photo Recovery™ is a highly specialized tool dedicated to recovering digital pictures that have gone missing due to various reasons, including accidental deletion, formatted or corrupted memory cards, emptied Recycle Bins, system failures, or virus attacks. The software is capable of restoring images from a wide array of storage media, such as hard disks, USB drives, memory cards (SD, micro SD, Compact Flash, SONY Memory Stick), and even directly from smartphones, tablets, and many digital camera models when connected via USB. The tool employs a sophisticated engine to ensure a safe, easy, and reliable recovery process, boasting a high success rate. It supports a comprehensive range of image formats, including popular raster and vector images like JPEG, PSD, TIFF, PNG, BMP, GIF, and a growing list of RAW files (e.g., CR2, CRW, RAW, TIFF, TIF, NEF, PEF, X3F) from various camera manufacturers. Users are guided through the entire recovery process by a simple, step-by-step wizard, making it accessible even for non-technical individuals. Before recovery, a built-in picture viewer allows users to preview full-size deleted pictures and select specific images for restoration. Data safety is prioritized with read-only access to the source device, and an option to create a virtual disk image for recovery, minimizing the risk to damaged media. The software offers both a 'Quick' analysis mode for recently deleted files (retaining original names and locations) and a 'Comprehensive Analysis' mode for severely damaged or formatted disks, which uses signature search to recover files even if the file system is corrupted or missing. It supports all major file systems (FAT/exFAT, NTFS/ReFS, APFS/HFS+, Ext2/3/4/ReiserFS, XFS/UFS) and runs on various Windows versions from XP to Windows 10, in both 32-bit and 64-bit editions.
