Raise Data Recovery is a data restoring software with an intuitive interface and a basic set of instruments to recover files from flash memory cards, USB sticks, external hard drives and other data storage devices. This program can help you recover files from an SD, microSD, SDHC, CF, MMC or almost any other type of flash card you have. No matter if the information was deleted by mistake, disappeared because of accidental card formatting or was completely or partially lost as a result of a virus attack or a kind of logical failure.

But before we start, please have a look at a couple of rules you should follow when trying to restore data from a flash memory card, provided that you want to avoid the most common mistakes.

How to recover deleted pictures from a memory card

First of all, download Raise Data Recovery software and install it like you usually install programs on your PC. If you need a detailed step-by-step guide, please find it here.

Then prepare your flash memory card for data recovery: take it out of your device (smartphone, camera or other), insert it in a compatible card reader, and if you use an external card reading device, check whether its USB connection cable is properly attached (in case there’s any).

• Connect your card reader (with a card in it) to the PC you’ve installed Raise Data Recovery on.

• Run the program and find your drive among all available data storages at the Physical disks tab.

  Once it’s finished, you’ll see all the data found by the program: both the currently available files and the deleted ones that could be recovered.

  

• Mark off the images, videos or other files you’d like to save and press the Recover selected button. In case you need a detailed guide on how to select, find, preview and save files in Raise Data Recovery, find it here.
