**PhotoRec** is file data recovery software designed to recover

lost pictures from digital camera memory or even hard disks.

It has been extended to search also for non audio/video headers.

The whole list of file formats recovered by PhotoRec contains

[more than 480 file extensions](https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/File_Formats_Recovered_By_PhotoRec) (about 300 file families).
