SmartDisk FAT32 Format Utility

While some dashcameras use FAT32 SD cards with up to 32GB, others are formatted as exFAT to be able to surpass this storage limit (such as SanDisk and Samsung 64GB MicroSDXC cards). However, the exFAT filesystem has some restrictions that FAT32 doesn't.

To be able to overcome this issue, the solution is to convert exFAT devices to FAT32. SmartDisk FAT32 Format Utility is a lightweight and portable software application that can do this on microSD cards over 32GB without any issues.

The program is wrapped in a simplistic interface based on a single window. It autodetects removable devices plugged into the PC right at startup, showing all entries in a menu. All you have to do is pick the drive you want to convert to FAT32 and proceed with the formatting operation.

Before doing this, you might be interested in setting a volume label. Confirmation is necessary to be able to carry out the formatting procedure. While SmartDisk FAT32 Format Utility is busy, you can check out technical details about the device, such as total cylinders, tracks per cylinder, sectors per track, bytes per sector, and total capacity.

Since the program is wrapped in a portable package, you don't have to install it. Instead, you can double-click the downloaded .exe to immediately reach the main app window, as well as keep the utility stored on a USB flash drive to be able to directly run it on any machine without setup.

Although the program hasn't received updates for a considerable amount of time, it worked smoothly on Windows 10 in our tests, managing to format an exFAT 4GB drive as FAT32 without problems.

All aspects considered, SmartDisk FAT32 Format Utility is able to convert exFAT to FAT32 without losing data. It's straightforward, free to use, and doesn't require setup.
