Comment
CardRecovery is safe to use because it performs read-only operations on memory cards. Its SmartScan quickly locates and restores files, without moving, modifying or deleting any data. It even retrieves Exif information along with the images.
CardRecovery supports all the common image formats such as JPEG, BMP, GIF, PNG, and TIFF, and it even supports raw image formats including NEF, CRW, CR2, ORF, X3F, RAF, MRW, PEF and so on.
There are dozens of testimonials from grateful users on the vendor's website. Many people fear that their pictures are lost forever, but in fact this is rarely the case with memory cards. CardRecovery can nearly always retrieve them unless they have been overwritten by subsequent images.
