What is Photo Recovery & File Recovery?
Most recovery tools demand root access or push everything to the cloud. This one scans your device storage locally and lets you pick exactly what to restore.
You clear out old photos to free up space, then realize you deleted the wrong batch. Or a document vanishes after a buggy app update. Photo Recovery & File Recovery scans internal storage for deleted media files, documents, and images, then organizes recoverable items into a file manager so you can restore what matters without rooting the device.
Key Features:
- Quick Scan surfaces recently deleted files in seconds, while Deep Scan digs further back for thorough recovery when the first pass misses something.
- Every file shows a preview before you commit, so you restore specific photos or videos rather than dumping everything back at once.
- The built-in file manager groups recovered content by type, which cuts down on the sorting work after a bulk restore.
- All scanning and recovery happens locally on the device, so your files never leave storage during the process.
- No root requirement means you can attempt recovery on stock Android without unlocking the bootloader.
Recovery success and file types
The app handles photos, videos, documents, and audio files. Success rate depends on how long ago the deletion happened and whether the storage sectors got overwritten. Quick Scan works best for files deleted within the last few days; Deep Scan is slower but reaches further back. The developer states that results vary by device condition, and permanent deletion is not always reversible.
Other data recovery apps
DiskDigger focuses narrowly on photo and video recovery with a streamlined interface for internal storage scans. EaseUS MobiSaver pairs its mobile app with desktop tools for cross-device recovery workflows. Photo Recovery & File Recovery sits between the two with no-root mobile recovery and a built-in manager for sorted results, which suits users who want self-contained recovery without desktop software.
This works for casual file rescues when you catch the mistake quickly. Just know that recovery is not guaranteed, and ads plus in-app purchases from $4.99 to $69.99 fund the free version.
