Safe365 Photo Recovery Wizard

Safe365 Photo Recovery Wizard is a straightforward utility that can be used to recover lost or deleted photographs from your hard drive. In addition to photos, it's designed to identify and retrieve emails and conversations, video clips, audio tracks, documents, and other types of files such as DLLs.

The tool features a preview pane to help you get a closer look at the found objects and decide whether or not you want to extract them. It has intuitive options that can be configured with ease, even by users with no previous experience in photo recovery software.

Following a fast setup operation that shouldn't give you any trouble, you're welcomed by a clean interface with an attractive appearance, where you can begin by selecting the disk partition you wish to scan for deleted files.

A quick scan is performed by default and it's possible to opt for a deep scan mode if you cannot find what you're looking for after the first attempt. Deep scans are more thorough but take a longer time to finish.

Scan results are organized in two ways: by path and by type. Safe365 Photo Recovery Wizard preserves the original folder structure, which should make it easier for you to find the missing pictures if you can remember their original location. Similarly, this can be applied to the type, if you know the file format of the images. Graphics types supported by the application include JPG, GIF and PNG.

You can preview image thumbnails in the main window, use a search function to quickly find the desired photo, and recover the selected files by indicating the saving directory on the disk.

According to the developer, the application is supposed to find files that were deleted after emptying the Recycle Bin or by using Shift+Delete. However, it wasn't successful in all cases in our tests. It only managed to identify a handful of pictures.

Taking everything into account, Safe365 Photo Recovery Wizard is an easy-to-use tool for finding deleted pictures and other files in order to extract them to the computer. However, improvements are welcomed as far as functionality is concerned.
