Recover photos, RAW files, dashcam clips, and drone 4K footage from SD, microSD, CF, and XQD cards. SafeRestore handles SDHC, SDXC, and UHS-II cards from cameras (Canon, Sony, Nikon, Fujifilm, GoPro), drones (DJI), dashcams, and Nintendo Switch — even after format or 'card error' messages.
SDHC, SDXC, UHS-I, UHS-II, microSD, CompactFlash (CF), and XQD/CFexpress. Capacities from 4 GB up to 1 TB cards. FAT32 and exFAT file systems both supported.
Recovers Canon CR2/CR3, Nikon NEF, Sony ARW, Fujifilm RAF, and Adobe DNG raw photos plus 4K/8K H.265 video, GoPro HEVC, and DJI drone footage.
We know the file structures used by each camera brand and stitch RAW files together correctly even when the card's index is destroyed.
Full SD card deep scan + RAW + 4K/8K video carving. One-time purchase, lifetime license.

No, almost certainly not. A camera or in-OS format only clears the file table on the card; the actual photo data remains until new photos are written over it. Stop using the card immediately and SafeRestore can recover almost everything that hasn't been overwritten.
Yes, raw camera files are fully supported. SafeRestore recognizes the proprietary headers used by Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax, and Leica, and reconstructs them as complete RAW files openable in Lightroom, Capture One, or DxO.
Yes — H.264, H.265 (HEVC), and ProRes are all recoverable. Video files are large and stored across many sectors, so Deep Scan is required (10-40 minutes for a 128 GB card). Recovered clips play in any standard video player.
Loop-recording overwrites are usually permanent because the new footage physically replaces the old. We can sometimes recover fragments of older clips that fell between writes, but a full clip overwritten yesterday is rarely recoverable.
It needs to appear in Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (Mac), even if marked as RAW or unreadable. If the card doesn't show up at all, try a different SD reader — many cards fail through cheap built-in laptop slots but work fine in an external USB reader.
Yes, if you have the password or recovery key. SafeRestore decrypts BitLocker To Go containers on-the-fly and recovers files normally. Without the key, recovery is not possible.
