Wondershare Recoverit

What Is Wondershare Recoverit?

Losing an important folder, accidentally formatting an SD card, or finding that a hard drive suddenly cannot be accessed can turn into a stressful situation very quickly. Wondershare Recoverit is built for these kinds of problems.

Recoverit is data recovery software for Windows and macOS. It can search computers, hard drives, SSDs, USB drives, memory cards, cameras, and other supported storage devices for files that have been deleted or lost.

It works with common files such as photos, videos, documents, audio, archives, and emails, along with a much wider range of file formats. Wondershare also includes more specialized recovery options for people working with cameras, drones, GoPro devices, and large photo or video files.

How Does Recoverit Work?

The course of recovery is usually quite simple.

First you select the drive, folder, SD card or wherever the missing file was saved. Recoverit will scan the location and show you the files it can find. Then you can filter the results, and select what you want to restore and preview supported files.

This makes the software easy to use even if you do not have a lot of knowledge with data recovery.

Recoverit also supports more complex situations, such as formatted storage, lost partitions, RAW drives, disc images and computers that won't boot up properly anymore.

It supports file systems such as NTFS, FAT32, exFAT, HFS+, APFS, EXT4, etc.

AI-Enhanced Photo and Video Recovery

One of the more interesting parts of Recoverit is its focus on media recovery.

Large camera videos are not always saved as one continuous piece of data. They can be split into different fragments across a memory card or storage device. A basic recovery program may find those fragments without rebuilding the original video properly.

Recoverit's Enhanced Recovery feature is designed to scan for these pieces and bring matching video fragments back together. This can be useful when recovering high-resolution footage from cameras, drones, action cameras, or SD cards.

The software also includes tools for repairing certain damaged photos, videos, and documents after recovery.

For photographers and video creators, this makes Recoverit more useful than a simple "undelete file" utility.

Recover Files From Different Storage Devices

Recoverit can work with a wide range of storage devices, including:

• Internal hard drives and SSDs
• External hard drives
• USB flash drives
• SD and microSD cards
• CF and other memory cards
• Digital cameras
• Action cameras
• Drone storage
• Disk images
• NAS devices in supported recovery modes

There are also recovery options for BitLocker-protected drives and several encrypted Mac file systems.

Recovery From a Crashed Computer

Recoverit is not limited to situations where the computer is still working normally.

Its paid recovery options can create bootable recovery media that can be used when a Windows or Mac computer will not start correctly. This gives users another way to access and recover important files before repairing or reinstalling the operating system.

It also provides dedicated NAS and Linux recovery options for more advanced recovery situations.

File Preview Before Recovery

Finding hundreds or thousands of files during a scan does not necessarily mean you want to restore all of them.

Recoverit provides file filtering and preview options so users can inspect supported files before deciding what to recover. Preview availability can depend on the file type, file size, and condition of the recovered data.

This is particularly useful when you are looking for one specific photo, document, or video rather than restoring an entire drive.

Wondershare Recoverit Pricing

Recoverit follows a freemium model.

The current free edition allows users to scan supported storage devices and recover up to 500 MB of data. This can be enough for a few documents or photos, but larger recovery jobs will normally require a paid license.

Paid editions unlock unlimited file recovery and additional features depending on the plan, such as crashed-computer recovery, advanced media recovery, NAS and Linux recovery, and file repair.

Wondershare offers different subscription and perpetual-license options, and pricing can change because of promotions. It is worth checking the current official pricing page before buying.

Who Is Wondershare Recoverit For?

Recoverit can make sense for several types of users.

Everyday users may use it after accidentally deleting personal photos, documents, assignments, or files from a USB drive.

Photographers and videographers may find its SD card, camera, RAW photo, and fragmented video recovery features particularly useful.

Content creators working with GoPro, DJI, or other cameras can use the enhanced media recovery options when important footage disappears from a storage card.

IT professionals and business users can use its broader drive, NAS, Linux, disk-image, and crashed-system recovery tools when dealing with more complicated data-loss situations.

Things to Know Before Using Recoverit

No data recovery program can promise that every deleted file will come back.

If new data has already overwritten the part of the drive where the original file was stored, recovery may no longer be possible. Recoverit also states that it is not intended to recover data from storage devices with physical hardware damage.

For that reason, it is a good idea to stop using the affected drive or memory card as soon as important data is lost. Continuing to save new files to the same device can reduce the chances of recovering the old data.

Overall

Wondershare Recoverit combines regular file recovery with more specialized photo and video recovery features.

Its biggest advantage is that it keeps the basic process easy for everyday users while still offering more advanced options for camera media, disk images, NAS devices, encrypted storage, and computers that will not boot.

It will not solve every case of data loss, especially when files have already been overwritten or a storage device is physically damaged. But for accidental deletion, formatting, damaged file systems, and lost media, Recoverit provides a broad set of recovery tools in one application.
