It’s easily overlooked because iRecover is a commercial product (marketed on a try-before-you-buy basis): iRecover is however partly freeware!

The iRecover trial includes a completely free and fully functional image recovery module. The image recovery-mode built in to iRecover is specifically tailored to recover photos from a digital camera memory card. Using the image recovery mode iRecover scans the memory card for specific structures that can be used to identify digital image files (RAW recovery). This article lists supported file types and supported digital cameras.
- note 1: Theoretically each camera is supported as long as a logical drive-letter is assigned to the memory card. If no drive-letter is assigned to the digital camera itself a card reader is required.
- note 2: If your camera stores images using a file type that is not supported by iRecover (using RAW image recovery) then run the iRecover trial in ‘simple volume’ recovery mode. Cameras typically store images in a single folder no the memory card. The iRecover trial allows to recover the data from a single folder using the unregistered version!
- note 3: If the card exhibits read errors then you may first want to create an image file of the memory card. This image file can then be used to recover data from. Again, all this can be done with the free iRecover trial version.
