Just running a step-by-step wizard and selecting the corrupted memory card will make Hetman Photo Recovery to automatically scan the entire content of the memory card in order to locate and recover your photos as well as RAW files. Sounds too simple? Don't be fooled by the simple user interface! Photo Recovery Software features sophisticated data recovery algorithms allowing it to successfully restore photos from even severely damaged memory cards.

The data recovery algorithm included with Hetman Photo Recovery does not rely on the memory card's file system alone in order to recover lost pictures.

Hetman Photo Recovery scans the entire content of the memory card, analyzes information and detects the beginning and end of each picture by analyzing their file headers. This algorithm allows recovering most of the photos no matter how badly damaged the memory card is. After the scan is complete, you get the chance to preview the photos before recovering them. The preview works in both free and full versions of Hetman Photo Recovery, allowing you to ensure that your files are actually recoverable before paying for a license.
