Recoverit is Wondershare's data recovery software for Windows and Mac. It scans internal and external drives, SD cards, USB sticks, crashed computers, NAS devices and Linux systems to bring back deleted or lost files across more than 1000 formats. Version 15 adds AI-powered search to find files faster and AI-assisted photo and video repair once the files are recovered. The company reports a 99.5 percent recovery success rate, coverage of over 10,000 data loss scenarios and a user base above 100 million people in 160 countries. Free editions are offered for both Windows and Mac.
Photographers who empty a memory card too soon, students who lose a thesis after a crash, and office workers who delete a spreadsheet by mistake all fit the audience. Retirees looking for family photos, extreme sports fans recovering skydive or ski footage, and small teams protecting business records are named among its customer groups. System administrators can use the NAS, RAID and Linux recovery options for shared storage. A student plan with a 30 percent discount is promoted, so people on a tight budget have a lower-cost route to a full version.
Typical jobs include recovering photos from a formatted SD card, restoring files after emptying the Recycle Bin or Mac Trash, and retrieving data from a drive that has gone RAW or lost a partition. Drone and GoPro footage, game data, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF documents, ZIP archives and email files are covered by dedicated recovery guides. When a computer will not boot, the crashed-system recovery option pulls files off the machine. After recovery, corrupted videos and photos can be repaired, which helps when a clip is found but will not play.
