People Also Ask - FAQs

Can this software recover photos that were permanently deleted from a laptop?

Yes. Even if the laptop was wiped. With our photo recovery software, it is possible to recover permanently deleted photos. The tool also preserves the integrity of the image during recovery.

I own a formatted SD card, is image recovery possible?

Yes. Plug the SD card directly into your computer. Launch Kernel Photo Recovery, choose your card from the Drive list, and select the specific file types you want to find. Run the scan, look through the found files, and save them to a safe drive.

Can I recover files from SSDs and thumb drives?

Yes. The software supports the SSD and USB from all the manufacturers. Simply connect the storage device to the computer and recover your images with the photo recovery software.

Can I actually see the pictures before I commit to saving them?

Yes. Once the scan finishes, the picture recovery software will list all the images it found. Just double-click or right-click any image to open a full preview and verify it isn’t corrupt.

Will this process mess up or overwrite the data currently on my drive?

It will exactly be as it is. Images are recovered without overwriting any existing data on the selected storage device. The tool performs a read-only scanning procedure and does not modify any existing data.

How long do I have to wait for the scan to finish?

It depends on how big your drive is and how fast it reads data. A small flash drive takes a few minutes, while a massive hard drive can take a couple of hours.

What if a virus or ransomware wiped out my photos?

You can still recover them. Even if a ransomware attack targeted your folders and deleted your files, the picture recovery software can scan the drive sectors to find the deleted images.

Do I need to activate the tool to save the images?

The free photo recovery software version only lets you scan the drive, find the files, and preview them to prove they are recoverable. To save those files to your hard drive, you need to activate the software.

Can I get files back if I have already emptied the Recycle Bin?

Yes. Dumping the Recycle Bin just tells the computer that the space is available. As long as you haven't saved a bunch of new files that overwrote that specific space, the tool will get the photos back.

Does this work with RAW images from DSLR or mirrorless cameras?

Yes. Take the card out of your camera, plug it into your PC, and let the image recovery software scan & recover the images.
