Pros

  • A key positive element associated with CardRecovery is the fact that it supports JPG files as well as various raw image format files. In addition, the application supports different types of video files, including AVI, MOV, MP4, 3GP and AVCHD.
  • Another plus of CardRecovery is what the developer calls "SmartScan" technology. This technology permits the recovery and restoration of image files that would have been beyond the reach of other similar types of programs.
  • CardRecovery is effective at recovering files that have been lost or damaged as the result of virus. This represents another benefit of the application that is not shared with all programs of this nature.
  • CardRecovery is easy and fast to download and install, as it does not use more than an absolutely minimal amount of a computer's resources. The software provides a clean download and is uncluttered by any extraneous adware, which is a fairly big issue associated with some applications.
  • CardRecovery is compatible with a range of different Windows operating systems. These include Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003 Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8.
  • The software has an easy-to-use interface. The interface is clean, uncluttered and suitable for a person with any level of experience in dealing with recovery applications, including those with no experience whatsoever.

Cons

  • The free version of CardRecovery has its limitations. The free application does perform a scan of an SD card to identify errant files. However, you need to pay a fee associated with the upgrade in order to achieve a full recovery of these files. Unlike some other types of recovery products, there is no free trial period in which the different tools of the application can be tested more thoroughly. However, the cost associated with an upgrade is moderate.

A product created by a developer of the same name, CardRecovery is designed to retrieve corrupted, deleted or formatted images on SD cards. The application also works on CF and some other types of memory cards.
