Features Overview
Powerful photo recovery tools for deleted, formatted, corrupted, and inaccessible storage across modern file systems and operating systems.
Camera and RAW Image Support
Recover photos created by compact cameras, digital SLRs, mirrorless cameras, and other imaging devices. Magic Photo Recovery supports common image formats such as JPG, PNG, GIF, and TIFF together with popular RAW formats including CR2, NEF, PEF, RAW, and DNG.
The program is designed specifically for photo recovery, so recovered images can be recognized by their format and previewed before you decide which files to save.
Windows, macOS and Linux File Systems
Recover photos from NTFS, ReFS, FAT, FAT32, exFAT, APFS, HFS+, Ext2/3/4, XFS, Btrfs, ReiserFS, ZFS, UFS, and other supported file systems. This broad compatibility allows Magic Photo Recovery to work with memory cards, external drives, SSDs, and storage previously used with different operating systems.
Storage Media Support
Recover photos from internal and external HDDs and SSDs, USB flash drives, memory cards, SD/SDHC/SDXC cards, CompactFlash, Memory Stick, and other supported storage media. Magic Photo Recovery can also work with compatible digital cameras connected by USB when the camera or its memory card is mounted as a storage device.
The program can analyze healthy, formatted, corrupted, and inaccessible storage, giving you several ways to locate lost or deleted images.
Formatted & Deleted Drives
Recover photos after a drive or memory card has been formatted, repartitioned, or a volume has been deleted. Magic Photo Recovery can locate image data even when the original file-system records are no longer available.
Virus & System Crash Recovery
Restore photos lost after virus attacks, application errors, system crashes, or other software failures. The program can find images that were deleted or became inaccessible because of logical problems with the storage.
Deleted Photo Recovery
Recover photos deleted normally, removed without using the Recycle Bin, or erased by applications and cameras. Magic Photo Recovery can locate deleted images even after they disappear from the operating system or file manager.
Image Preview and Safe Recovery
Preview recoverable images before saving them and quickly check which photos are intact and worth restoring. The built-in viewer supports common image formats and many RAW files, allowing you to inspect recovered pictures directly from the scan results.
Previewing also helps you avoid recovering unnecessary files: select only the photos you actually need, then save them to a different destination.
Content-Aware Recovery
When file-system records are missing or damaged, Content-Aware Recovery scans the storage at a low level and searches for known image signatures. It identifies recoverable photos by analyzing their contents instead of relying only on file names, folders, or existing file-system metadata.
This method is especially useful for formatted, corrupted, repartitioned, and inaccessible storage where conventional file-system analysis can no longer locate the original images.
Step-by-Step Recovery Wizard
1. Analyze the Drive
Select the storage device and start the appropriate analysis. Magic Photo Recovery scans the selected media and searches for recoverable images.
2. Preview & Select
Review the images found during the scan, preview recoverable photos, and select only the files you want to restore before moving to the final step.
3. Restore Photos
Choose a safe destination for the selected photos and complete the recovery. The guided workflow keeps the entire process clear from the first scan to saving files.
Windows, macOS and Linux Support
Run Magic Photo Recovery on Windows, macOS, or Linux and recover photos directly in the operating system you use. The same recovery engine works across all three platforms and can read supported Windows, macOS, Linux, and Unix file systems regardless of the platform running the program.
This makes it easy to connect a memory card, external drive, or other storage device to the computer available to you and begin recovery without switching to another operating system.
Search & Filtering
Filter recovered images by file type, mask, date, size, or dimensions and display all files or only deleted ones. Sorting and filtering help you quickly narrow large scan results to the photos you actually need.
Disk Images
Create or open a disk image and recover photos from a copy instead of the original storage. This helps protect unstable or damaged memory cards and drives from repeated access during recovery.
Flexible Recovery Export
Save recovered photos to another local or removable drive, create a ZIP archive, or upload files to an FTP server. Multiple destination options help you keep recovered data away from the original source storage.
