How to Use NTShare Photo Recovery to Restore Deleted Images Quickly
1. Prepare and do not add new files
- Stop using the storage device (SD card, USB drive, hard drive) where the images were deleted to avoid overwriting.
- If possible, remove the device and connect it to a separate computer as a secondary drive.
2. Download and install NTShare Photo Recovery
- Download the installer from NTShare’s official site.
- Install to a different drive than the one you’re recovering from (e.g., install to C: if recovering from D: or an external card) to prevent overwriting deleted files.
3. Launch the program and choose the drive
- Open NTShare Photo Recovery.
- Select the target device or partition that contained the deleted images.
4. Select scan type
- Use Quick Scan first for recently deleted files (faster).
- If Quick Scan doesn’t find what you need, run Deep Scan (slower but more thorough; searches file signatures).
5. Filter and preview results
- Use built-in filters to show only image formats (JPG, PNG, RAW, TIFF, etc.).
- Preview thumbnails or file previews to verify image integrity before recovery.
6. Recover files safely
- Select the images you want to restore.
- Click Recover and choose a different destination drive than the source to save recovered files.
- Keep recovered files organized into folders and verify they open correctly.
7. If recovery fails
- Re-run Deep Scan with different file-signature options.
- Try alternative recovery software if necessary.
- For physically damaged devices, consider professional data-recovery services.
8. Post-recovery: backup and prevention
- Immediately back up recovered photos to cloud storage or an external drive.
- Enable regular backups and consider using file-versioning tools to prevent future loss.
Tips
- Recover as soon as possible; the sooner you act, the higher the chance of success.
- For camera SD cards, use a card reader instead of connecting the camera directly.
- Keep software updated for improved file-signature support.
