Free SD Card Data Recovery

Free SD Card Data Recovery is a free program that helps you restore and recover lost data from a memory card. While it may not find everything you lost, it can locate misplaced or lost files from most SD cards.

Using an SD card is a great way to expand the amount of memory available on almost any device. You might use a smaller version of this type of card in your smartphone, or you might use a standard SD card in your tablet, digital camera or even music player. Depending on the size you buy, you'll have enough space for hundreds of songs, books or even pictures. As you transfer and delete files on that card to free up some storage space, though, you might accidentally move, rename or even delete a file that you want. With Free SD Card Data Recovery, you can now find those missing and misplaced files.

This program is easy to use and comes with a simple interface. After loading your SD card in your computer, open the program. Boxes on the screen show you the type of files it can search for, including photos, documents, music and videos. It can also search for files that you archived and for miscellaneous or other types of files too. Click on the box located on the bottom left hand corner of each one to select the files you want it to identify.

You can then click the recover all box and click on the start button to start the process. The program usually takes only a few minutes to run a scan, but for larger SD cards, the process can take longer. It will recover all the files it can find and then give you a complete list of files located. You can then transfer those files to your computer, upload necessary files online and delete the ones you no longer want or need.

The only real issue with Free SD Card Data Recovery is that it doesn't give you the option to search for files based on name alone. Even if you know the exact name of the file you lost, you'll need to search by type and then narrow down the results to find the exact one. If you don't mind going through a few extra steps, you'll find this recovery tool useful.
