DiskDigger photo recovery

Defiant Technologies, LLC

About this app

DiskDigger can undelete and recover lost photos, images, or videos from your internal memory or external memory card. Whether you accidentally deleted a photo, or even reformatted your memory card, DiskDigger's powerful data recovery features can find your lost pictures and videos, and let you restore them.

You can upload your recovered files directly to Google Drive, Dropbox, or send them via email. The app also allows you to save the files to a different local folder on your device.

Note: DiskDigger requires the "Access all files" permission on your device, to be able to search all locations on the device for lost and recoverable photos. When you are asked for this permission, please enable it so that DiskDigger can search your device most effectively.

* If your device is not rooted, the app will perform a "limited" scan for your deleted photos or videos by searching your cache and thumbnails.

* If your device is rooted, the app will search all of your device's memory for any trace of photos, as well as videos!

* After the scan is complete, tap the "Clean up" button to permanently delete any items that you no longer need (currently an experimental feature, available only in the Basic Scan).

* You can also use the "Wipe free space" option to erase the remaining free space on your device, so that any deleted files can no longer be recoverable.

For complete instructions, please see http://diskdigger.org/android

If you need to recover more types of files besides photos and videos, try DiskDigger Pro!

Ratings and reviews

I accidentally deleted a whole folder of camera pics, thought with this app I could get them back. after a lengthy scan, it shows hundreds of deleted pics but I could only recover a tiny thumbnail of the pics!! totally not useful, and a HUGE waste of time, since many duplicates of each photo exist, making the scan results a horribly huge list to scroll thru. Then only to find I can't truly recover actual pics! so sad!! I found the only true way to recover is with computer software thru USB

It works exactly how it's supposed to. I find it actually kind of scary how much stuff is stored on your phone going back months, so good thing for this app to help clean it up. That being said, the interface is extremely frustrating to use. I feel there shouldn't have to be two tabs, one for recovering and one for deleting. It's very frustrating to have to go through all of those files AGAIN just to find which ones to delete. Good app otherwise.

I got a 64GB Micro SD card to save 800+ photos since I broke my old phone that morning (10/23/18). After I got the new phone and transferred pics I accidently hit Format instead of eject (I was playing around with it at this point). Lost all my photos and stayed up into my birthday which was the next day stressed out. Today I heard about this app and gave it a shot. It recovered the files I lost and then some (1.2K). Sadly the quality isn't as good and videos didn't get restored, only thumbnailed. Either way this is way Better than nothing at all. 5 star definetly recommend!
