How to Recover Deleted Photos after Formatting?

After Christmas I have heard a lot of stories about "I accidentally deleted my family/holiday photos using format button on my camera". Do you know? If you just simply deleted photos by formatting and didn't do anything else, you're very likely to recover these deleted photos. Because the photos are not really gone, they just not listed there anymore which means if you put more pictures, they would overwrite the space. So if you want to recover deleted photos after formatting, first you need to stop using the formatted camera memory card.


To recover deleted photos after formatting, you need to make sure that this SD card can be showed in your computer. And then you need a recovery software to do all the recovery work. Usually a recovery software requires no technology. Just remember don't install it on your camera card but somewhere else on your computer.


Now I will show you how to recover deleted photos after formatting with Wondershare Photo Recovery.


First, download and install the free version of Wondershare Photo Recovery.


Second, start Wondershare Photo Recovery, select the camera card you want to recover after formatting and click "Next".


Third, after the automatic scan finished, choose the photos you want to recover from the recoverable photo list and click "Next".


Fourth, select a folder to store the recovered photos. Click "Next" and the photos would be recovered successfully.


Tips: Don't save the recovered photos to the card from which you recover deleted photos after formatting.
