The loss of photos and videos can be frustrating, especially when these files have sentimental or professional value.

Fortunately, there are effective ways to recover deleted files, even if they seem lost forever.

In this guide, you'll learn, step by step, how to recover photos and videos in a practical and safe way using available applications and tools

Step 1: Identify the Source of the Loss

Before starting the recovery process, it is important to understand where the files were stored:

  1. Internal device storage (cell phone memory).
  2. SD card (on Android devices or cameras).
  3. Cloud storage (Google Photos, iCloud, Dropbox).

In other words, knowing this will help you choose the best recovery tool.

Step 2: Stop Using the Device Immediately

As soon as you realize you have lost a file, stop saving new data on the device.

However, when files are deleted, they don't disappear completely; the system just marks the space as available.

By saving new data, you can overwrite deleted files, making recovery difficult or impossible.

Step 3: Check the Recycle Bin or Recovery Folder

Then, before using any application, make sure your files are in a recycle garbage can or recovery folder.

In addition, many modern devices and applications have this functionality.

If the files are there, simply restore them with a tap.

Step 4: Use an App and recover photos and videos

If you can't find the files in the Recycle Bin, it's time to use a specialized application. Here's how to do it with the most popular tools:

1. DiskDigger (Android)

  4. Choose the type of file you want to recover (images, videos, etc.).
  5. Wait for the scan and view the files found.
  6. Select the files you want to restore and save them on your device or in a cloud service.
