R-Photo is a free utility for non-commercial recovery of photos and video files. The utility supports Windows file systems (FAT, exFAT, NTFS, and even ReFS) and recovers photo and video files from all sources visible to the host Windows system: internal and external HDD/SDD/NVME, external USB memory sticks, SD cards, and other storage devices. It also supports virtual disks, undamaged RAIDs, and Windows Storage Spaces.
With the same powerful data recovery engine as R-Studio, the program recovers deleted and lost files using both the standard search for photos and videos among file systems and the advanced raw file recovery search for specific file signatures on a device with a severely damaged or unrecognizable file system.
