If these didn’t work for you, there are many other excellent freeware options for recovering photos. The problem is finding them. As this site doesn’t allow links, just copy the following listing of freeware recovery software and paste it into Google to find them (by the way, highly recommend that you try MiniTool first):
MiniTool, VAIOSoft, PC Inspector, Recuva, Pandora, SoftPerfect

It’s amazing to see how much random cr*p is actually there. the 3 recovery programs I’ve looked at so far are actually finding the jpgs from web pages I’ve browsed.

CardRecovery isn’t actually free. All you can do is see the pictures, you have to buy it to recover them.

I downloaded Recuva and was not pleased – It only recovered one photo of the over 300 that a program that cost me $100 to purchase after it found photos to restore. Am I missing something on this program or did it just not do what you are saying it has done for everyone? I’m not too computer savvy, but I’m also not a money tree, so paying for a photo recovery on a one time circumstance is pointless for me. All I want to do is recover my daughters bday pics from yesterday and her party pics from today….but Recuva isn’t doing that.

Thanks for the lists of software. RecoverPlus Photo Recovery also not bad.

I downloaded Recuva and I was very pleased with their services! I really think people should donate to them because if it wasn’t for them I would be crying my eyes out right now! I recently took photos of my 4 year old daughter’s BDAY and just my luck she got a hold of my camera and deleted all of them!!! I already lost her 1st BDAY photos because I was a dumb ass and used those cheap disposable ones.

Then I moved and left them behind somewhere. So I will never be able to replace those but thanks to Recuva I have her 4th BDAY ones again! Not to mention I said it was photos of her BDAY so I was running a bit low on money and came across Recuva which happens to be completely free!!! I got all my photos recovered (not just one). I tried the CardRecovery one first and it was free to scan and preview your photos that were found but you could not recover them and save them to your computer without paying like 43 dollars!

Thank God I didn’t pay because I was about too but then something told me to look for other software. This is 2010 so I figured there would be something! I didn’t care if I had to do something illegal! I was desperate but thanks again to Recuva I don’t have to worry about going to jail! lol. It is nice to know that there are some people not looking to get rich! I LOVE YOU RECUVA!!!

i downloaded recuva. first i was so excited that its the only program i found to be completely free but then when i try it, it can only find one picture. Only one picture out of so many other photos and its an ugly one too. im totally disappointed, do you know any completely free software that is better than recuva? thanks, if you do please let me know, here’s my email ily_moneyy@yahoo.com. Thanks.

I used Recuva the other day after I deleted some files from an external hard drive and then remembered I had movie files of our cats that I wanted. Recuva scanned the 500 GB hard drive in about 3 minutes and found everything I needed.

Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery is also a good software to recover lost, deleted Photos from Digital Camera, memory card, external hard drive, flash drive and usb drives.

that Zar program looks like something I could use on my corrupted hard disk. Thanks for the mention

Will these programs work for recovering photos from a hard disk on my computer? I am a bit confused as to which work directly on the memory card and which work on a hard drive. Or do they recover pictures from any type of media? Thanks.
