IGEO Digital Photo Recovery

In the eventuality that you formatted your hard drive, but you forgot to backup the photos you stored in a folder there, then chances are that you are looking for a tool capable of restoring your precious memories.

IGEO Digital Photo Recovery is a lightweight application that enables you to recover a wide variety of photos formats that you lost or deleted due to various reasons.

Upon a quick and uneventful installation, you come face to face with a rather rugged and old-school interface. Then again, you should know that the UI is designed as a wizard and hence, it is easy to navigate and use, regardless of your computer skills.

Intuitive is the best word to describe the app, especially since it provides you with extra tips and instructions on the next step to take, although it is quite easy to guess. After you select the location, you can choose the type of scan that you want to perform along with the file formats. Afterwards, you can preview the lost or deleted files in a matter of seconds, depending on the size of the drive.

The highlight of the application stems from its ability to identify and restore a wide variety of files, including RAW photos. What is more, the tool can even retrieve pictures from drives that have been formatted or that are damaged and thus, inaccessible. This feature can come in handy when you want to retrieve photos from a digital camera you accidentally dropped and broke for instance.

It is necessary to mention that the app supports the standard image types as well as RAW formats from compatible Nikon and Canon cameras. Moreover, it can recover a handful of audio and video files as well (MP3, AVI, MP4, DAT, etc.).

Even though it does not come wrapped up in a modern interface, IGEO Digital Photo Recovery is quite a powerful utility and can lend you a hand with retrieving lost or deleted photos.
