SoftAmbulance Photo Undelete

It’s always a good idea to keep important files and folders backed up in case something unexpected happens. However, you might not even get the chance to do so, especially in situations where external storage devices become corrupt, removing your files, or making them unreadable. For pictures, SoftAmbulance Photo Undelete attempts to recover them from almost any fixed, or removable drive.

Right after launch, you’re directly taken to the drive selection screen, where all available hard disk drives, removable storage, physical drives, and such are shown. In case you just decided to connect a USB flash drive, there’s a refresh option if it doesn’t appear on the list. You can view related drive properties, and choose whether to perform a fast, or thorough scan.

The target drive is analyzed with results displayed in real time along with a thumbnail view of pictures, in the hope you find the file, or collection of files faster. Once this process is done, you can select only those you want to recover. Properties can be analyzed, and there’s also a built-in viewer.

Number of files is also shown in the status bar, and if this makes it difficult to identify the files you need, there’s a filter panel you can bring up. It allows you to select only photos, raw photos, movies, or files of a custom extension, and additional options for date, time, and size, to narrow down results.

With files of interest selected, the last step before actual recovery is to specify a destination to save restored pictures. You can take one last look over the files to save, preview, or access properties again, and uncheck some items, in case you changed your mind along the way.

All things considered, we come to the conclusion that SoftAmbulance Photo Undelete helps you recover your accidentally removed, locked, or corrupted photos from all kinds of drives. The overall step by step process is intuitive enough to be used by individuals of all levels of experience, making it worth at least a try.
