Before you choose

Match the software to your device

Check supported platforms before you install a tool. The list covers Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS and self-hosted use.

A Windows utility may not run on a Mac or phone, so match the platform field to the device holding your photos.

Check the free route

Use the Free plan, Paid from and Free trial fields to compare ways to start without a purchase.

A free recovery limit can affect how much data you can save. Check that field before scanning a large photo library.

Compare scan and source support

Recovery sources show where a tool can look for photos. Scan modes indicate how it searches storage.

Raw photo recovery can matter when normal file details are damaged. Disk image support can help when you want to scan an image instead of the original drive.

Look for photo previews

Photo preview lets you inspect found images before recovery. Use it to check whether the files shown match what you need.

Compare preview support with the recovery limit and source fields so the tool fits the storage and files you are trying to recover.

Questions

Which platforms appear on this list?
Entries support Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS or self-hosted use. Check the platform field for the tool you are considering.
How can I compare free options?
Check Free plan, Free trial and Free recovery limit. These fields show how you can start and how much recovery is allowed without a paid purchase.
What does raw photo recovery mean?
It indicates whether the software lists support for recovering raw photo files, which can matter when standard file information is missing.
Why does disk image support matter?
It shows whether the tool can work from a disk image. That can be useful when you want to scan an image rather than the original storage.
Can I preview photos before recovery?
Use the Photo preview field. It records whether an entry lets you inspect found photos before saving recovered files.
