About Data Recovery - Photo or Video
Lost a video or photo? Data Recovery scans your device's storage to find and restore deleted files that have disappeared from your gallery or media library.
When you delete a video, photo, or document, Android removes it from the media index — but the data often remains on your device. Standard gallery apps and file managers cannot see these orphaned files. This recovery app goes deeper, scanning hidden directories, app caches, and thumbnail databases where your deleted content may still exist.
RECOVER DELETED VIDEOS The app performs a deep scan for lost MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI, WebM, FLV, WMV, M4V, 3GP, and TS video files. Filter results by duration, resolution (SD, HD, Full HD, 2K/4K), orientation, and source folder. Preview videos before you restore them to confirm they're the files you need.
RECOVER DELETED PHOTOS Find deleted JPG, PNG, HEIC, WebP, GIF, and RAW photos (CR2, NEF, ARW, DNG, RAF, and more). The app even recovers photo thumbnails extracted from Android's thumbnail cache databases, so you can locate images that would otherwise be invisible.
RECOVER DOCUMENTS Beyond photos and videos, recover deleted PDFs, documents, and other files from your device storage.
THREE SCANNING METHODS FOR MAXIMUM RECOVERY Data Recovery uses three complementary techniques to find more recoverable files. Media Library Scan quickly checks Android's media index for recently deleted items. Deep Storage Scan walks your entire device storage, including hidden directories, messaging app folders, Downloads, and SD cards to locate orphaned files. Thumbnail Cache Extraction reads binary thumbnail database files to recover deleted photo previews still present in Android's Gallery cache.
PRIVACY AND SIMPLICITY All scanning and recovery happens locally on your device. Your files are never uploaded to a server, copied elsewhere, or shared with anyone. No sign-up or account is required. The clean, straightforward interface requires no technical skills. The app works without root access on most Android devices, and you can preview files before recovering them. Batch recovery lets you restore multiple files at once.
FILTER BY WHAT MATTERS Narrow results by date, file size, file type, source folder, and more to find exactly what you're looking for.
FREE WITH OPTIONAL PREMIUM Data Recovery is free to download and use. Premium unlocks deeper scanning to find harder-to-reach files, one-tap batch recovery, an ad-free experience, and priority support.
IMPORTANT: No recovery app guarantees results. Success depends on how recently the file was deleted, whether storage has been overwritten, and your device's file system. For the best chance of recovery, stop saving new files and scan as soon as possible after deletion.
Data Recovery - Photo or Video gives you a genuine second chance to retrieve files you thought were gone for good.
