Restore Deleted Photos

Bring back photos deleted from your computer, phone, SD card, or USB drive. Recover JPG, HEIC, PNG, RAW, and screenshots — including iCloud Photos in the Recently Deleted album, Google Photos trash, Samsung Gallery trash, and photos lost weeks ago to a sync conflict or device wipe.

Why SafeRestore

Every Photo Format

JPG, HEIC, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, WebP, plus camera RAW (CR2, CR3, NEF, ARW, DNG, RAF, ORF). Screenshots and Live Photos are fully supported.

All Devices

Recovers from iPhone, Android phones, digital cameras, SD/microSD cards, USB drives, internal Mac and Windows storage, and external HDDs/SSDs.

Cloud Trash Recovery

We know where iCloud Photos, Google Photos, OneDrive, Dropbox, and Samsung Cloud put deleted items — and how long the 30-day trash window lasts before permanent deletion.

How Recovery Works

  1. Check Trash First. iCloud, Google Photos, and Samsung Gallery keep deleted photos for 30-60 days in a trash/recently-deleted album. SafeRestore tells you which trash applies and how long you have.
  2. Scan the Source. If trash is empty or expired, run a Deep Scan on the source device — phone via USB, SD card via reader, or computer's internal drive. Photos are recovered by image signature.
  3. Preview & Save. Every recovered photo shows as a thumbnail before you save it. Choose which to keep and save to your computer in their original format.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to recover deleted photos?

It depends where they were. iCloud Photos, Google Photos, and Samsung Cloud keep them for 30 days in trash. Empty trash plus sector-level recovery: weeks to months on storage that's still mostly idle. The single biggest factor is how much new data has been written to the device since deletion.

Can you recover photos from an iPhone?

Yes. SafeRestore reads iPhone backups (iTunes/Finder local backups and iCloud backups) and extracts photos. It also reads the local Photos library on Mac if iCloud Photos is enabled. Direct on-device recovery from iPhone storage requires the phone to be backed up first.

Can you recover photos from Android?

Yes. We pull photos from Google Photos trash, Samsung Cloud backups, ADB device backups, and direct USB/MTP file transfer. No root needed for the standard recovery paths.

What about RAW photo files from my DSLR?

Fully supported. CR2, CR3, NEF, ARW, DNG, RAF, ORF, PEF, SRW, and X3F are all recoverable from SD cards and computer hard drives. Recovered RAW files open normally in Lightroom, Capture One, DxO, and Adobe Camera Raw.

Will recovered photos lose quality?

No. Recovery is bit-for-bit — the recovered JPG, HEIC, or RAW is byte-identical to the original file. Quality is exactly the same. The only loss is metadata if the file table is destroyed.

Can I recover photos from a phone that was factory reset?

Only if you had a Google Photos, iCloud Photos, Samsung Cloud, or local computer backup before the reset. Direct on-device recovery after factory reset is essentially impossible on modern phones because of file-system encryption.
