The image recovery software lets you save the directory tree structure generated after a drive/volume scan to a desired location on the disk. The information is saved as a file that can be used to regenerate the tree structure of the found files/folders or to resume recovery at a later stage. You can choose to save the result of the complete procedure or stop the scan at any time and save the information up to that point.

With time and continuous usage, internal and external drives/storage media develop bad sectors. This kind of damage often makes data stored on the device inaccessible. With Stellar Photo Recovery, you can create a sector-by-sector image of the entire or a selected range of media so that the data stored on the remaining good sectors can be saved. This image can be used later to recover lost photos and videos with the help of the software.
The digital photo recovery software searches for lost files on the basis of file signature. In case, after the quick scan, your desired file is not included in the list of files detected, you can opt for Deep Scan to perform a comprehensive scan of the selected drive or location. Improved scanning engine ensures quick and accurate media file recovery.
View the found multimedia files in three different ways - File Type, Tree View, and Deleted List. Sorted and easy-to-view scan results help in quickly identifying the relevant photos, videos, and audio files for recovery. File Type view groups file according to photos, videos, and audio. Tree View allows you to navigate to the media file location. You can view and restore only the deleted files from the Deleted List.
The picture recovery software from Stellar stands out from other deleted photo recovery software in many aspects. In addition to recovery from different types of media and different file formats, the new version of the software also supports the recovery of Unicode files.
The software has emerged as the most loved tool among photographers and videographers, as it supports the recovery of RAW files from any make/model of digital camera. It is also popular among users of Adobe, Lightroom, Photoshop, and other photo editing tools as it supports the recovery of graphics, logos, drawings, and illustrations, during post-processing photo or video loss.
The picture recovery software also comes in Professional and Premium editions. The Professional version is a complete photo restoration tool that not only restores deleted photos and videos but also repairs damaged pictures. The Premium Edition also repairs unlimited corrupt, damaged, or distorted videos and photos from any device. It is a great utility for photographers, videographers, and video agencies engaged in video shooting, filming, editing, etc.
Most of the photo recovery tools available in the market fail to work properly on devices that have large storage capacities. However, the deleted photo recovery software from Stellar helps you to restore recently or permanently deleted photos from media with sizes as huge as 18TB and more.
Stellar Photo Recovery restores deleted or lost photos, videos, and audio files from 4K hard disks that store data in a 4096 bytes sector. The photo recovery tool can quickly scan 4K sector storage drives configured to FAT32, ExFAT, HFS+, NTFS, or APFS, file system.

The software provides a preview of lost and deleted photos, videos, and audio of all file formats, including JPEG, RAW, TIFF, PNG, MP4, MOV, FLV, MKV, MP3, OGG, and other file types while scanning the storage media. It displays a full-screen preview of the recoverable videos.
There are many photo recovery apps and software that are compatible, include free trial runs, or charge a decent price for their services, but Stellar Photo Recovery is one of the few that will scan up to six terabytes of data.
The software can recover all kinds of multimedia files including raster, vector, RAW camera files, videos, and audio files. You can also add new file type, if you do not see your required format in the supported file formats.
Yes, by following some of the best practices you can prevent photo loss in future such as avoid using same memory card on multiple devices; carefully store and handle your removable media; save your storage devices in dry, cool space; use a trustworthy storage drive brand etc. Further, by maintaining regular and multiple backups of your precious photos and videos you can protect your files from loss in any situation.
It is highly possible that your SD card has got corrupt.

Yes. You can recover specific files after successful scanning of the drive/media. From the list of found files that appear after scanning, select your specific file types and click Recover to save the files.
You can create an image of the entire or the selected range of the hard drive or card and save it to recover photos, videos and audio files at a later stage. Follow the below steps to Create Image of the drive:
To ensure successful photo recovery stop using the storage disk as soon you realize the loss or deletion of photos. Any further use of the drive can overwrite the deleted photos and make it impossible for a software to restore them. Plus, always use an efficient and reliable photo recovery tool that restores files even in tough data loss situations, without affecting the original quality.
Stellar Phoenix takes some time to work through a drive, but this is a non-issue because the program can run in the background without a problem. Depending upon the size of the drive, Stellar Phoenix may take an hour or two to sort through the deleted files. I usually work on my photos in Lightroom while the program runs.
Note: This section was written before the newest version of Stellar Phoenix, Version 7.0. Luckily, the issue with the D800e files has been resolved. As far as I can tell, this software now works well for anyone who needs to recover their files, although I still recommend downloading and testing the free trial before committing to the paid version. The old review is still below, but I have updated the final rating of the product to represent the new version.
Luckily, Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery allows you to try the software for free before you purchase it. In this free trial, you can see which images have been found for recovery. Assuming that the recovered photos have an actual file size (as opposed to the zero kilobytes of my D800e photos), I can recommend Stellar Phoenix without any hesitation.
However, you absolutely need to try it before you commit to the full purchase price. As well as Stellar Phoenix works with my D7000, it is all but useless with my primary camera, the D800e. Perhaps there will be an update to the software that fixes this problem (which there was), but until then I cannot recommend the software to everyone.
Stellar Phoenix comes in three versions: Standard, Platinum, and Titanium. The main difference is that the Platinum software (which I reviewed here) will allow you to preview the images and extract thumbnails before you recover them. The Platinum version also helps repair corrupted images, but only JPEGs. Titanium is the only one that can repair corrupt video files. The Standard price is $50, although Stellar Phoenix says that it is on sale from its normal price of $80. The Platinum and Titanium versions are $60 and $100 respectively.
I'm Spencer Cox, a landscape photographer based in Colorado. I started writing for Photography Life a decade ago, and now I run the website in collaboration with Nasim. I've used nearly every digital camera system under the sun, but for my personal work, I love the slow-paced nature of large format film. You can see more at my personal website and my not-exactly-active Instagram page.
Purchased photo recovery professional version, on three attempts crashed each time during scan. contacted support and got no resolution to the problem. I have just purchased again another copy and now on its first install after accepting the registration code it has frozen on the initialising screen. I am resigned to the fact that it is a shady product and recommend that people stay away from Stellar Phoenix products.
Hey I had the very same issue. Contacted their tech support, Luckily, the person I got on touch with was very nice. After a couple of trails, I updated my system and then tried the whole thing again. It worked!
The Software worked amazingly well. I would say to get in touch with them again.
