FAQ

Q. Can I recover photos from a formatted SD card?

Yes, in many cases. Quick-format typically leaves data intact. However, if new data was written after formatting, recovery becomes harder. Run a free scan first to see what's recoverable.

Q. What file formats are supported?

JPEG, PNG, RAW (Canon CR2/CR3, Nikon NEF, Sony ARW, etc.), MP4, MOV, AVI and 200+ other formats are supported via the PhotoRec engine.

Q. Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No. All photo recovery processing happens locally on your Mac. Only the payment transaction uses an external service (Stripe).

Q. Can I get a refund after purchase?

Refunds are not available after recovery is complete. Since scanning and previewing is free, please confirm the recoverable photos before purchasing.

Q. Which Mac versions are supported?

macOS 12 Monterey or later, on both Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) and Intel Macs.
