Smarter Partial & Embedded Content Recovery for Damaged Files

Data loss doesn’t always mean everything is gone. Thanks to advanced AI scanning, RecoveryFox AI can help you get back as much valuable content as possible, even from damaged files.

Partial Document File Recovery

With RecoveryFox AI, you still have a chance to recover partial text, tables or other contents from most common document formats such as Word, Excel, PPT, PDF, TXT, etc. Even if part of the data in the file structure is damaged, it can identify the undamaged data and rebuild it into a complete file.

Embedded Files Recovery

Some documents don’t just store text; they might also include inserted images, videos, or other media files. Even if the document itself (especially its structure) is overwritten or corrupted, there’s still a chance that the embedded files can be recovered separately.

Scan, Recover! Watch How RecoveryFox AI Recovers Documents

Part 1. Tutorial Video

Whether you accidentally deleted an important PowerPoint presentation file, a Word document assignment, or a valuable .txt file, don't worry, RecoveryFox AI can easily help you. In this video, we will guide on how to use it to recover deleted or unsaved doucments like PDF files on Windows.

In this video, we will show you how to recover your deleted .xlsx files and preview entire workbooks before recovery with RecoveryFox AI.

Part 2. Tutorial Article

RecoveryFox AI supports a wide range of document file types and can retrieve lost data from internal drives, external hard drives, USB flash drives, SD cards, and other storages that are still detectable and the files are not heavily overwritten.
Here is how to recover lost document files from a RAW USB drive.

Step 1. Select File Location

Launch RecoveryFox AI. On the startup interface, find and select the drive where your lost documents were stored. Clicks to start scanning.

🔎 Scan Settings for Document Recovery:

Before starting recovery, open Settings on the menu bar and uncheck the following 2 options if you want to recover all documents.

Skip files inside archives

This option is selected by default. When enabled, the tool will skip scanning contained files in compressed document formats (e.g. DOCX, PPTX, or XLSX). However, if you need these contained files, manually unchecked the option. But this may cause large archive files to be included in the scan results, leading to computer lag or freeze.

Skip files inside container files

Enabled by default. Container files are similar to archives, but they store embedded files without compression. For example, Office documents containing images or attachments. When enabled, RecoveryFox AI scans only the container file itself and skips its embedded files. Turn this option off if you want RecoveryFox AI to scan for and recover files contained within container files. This can be useful when the container file is damaged, as embedded files may still be recoverable individually.

Select the target file location to scan

Step 2. Start Scanning

Quick Scan starts first and is best for recently deleted files. It can often preserve their original filenames and folder structure if you act quickly after deletion and avoid writing new data to the drive.

For more complex data loss cases, such as formatted or corrupted drives, AI Scan provides a deeper and more thorough scan. It starts automatically after Quick Scan finishes.

You can browse the scan result list in real time while AI Scan is running. You can also pause or stop the scan at any time to preview recoverable Office files such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint with their original formatting, styles, and layouts.

Start scanning your drive

Step 3. Preview and Recover

Use the File Path, File Type, or Keywords filters to quickly find the files you need.

Then, click the eye icon to preview a document file in detail.

Select the files or folders you want, click “Recover”, and choose a safe location to save the recovered files.

To avoid overwriting the original data, do not save recovered files to the same drive they were recovered from.

Preview and recover scanned document file

Preview Explanation:

❶ The preview feature displays only a partial result of the file, providing a reference for what may be recoverable. To view the full content, you must recover the file first.

❷ For some documents that cannot be previewed, they can still be recovered. After recovery, the file may be a complete file or a partially usable file (if parts of the document have been overwritten).

To recover documents from an emptied Recycle Bin, RecoveryFox AI runs a Quick Scan that usually finishes in just a few minutes.

For other locations, AI Scan will automatically go on after Quick Scan ends for a more thorough and in-depth data scanning and rebuilding. With this AI-enhanced ability, even long-term deleted files and partially overwritten data fragments can be retrieved. The AI Scan process may take hours or even days mainly depending on your drive size, the number of files, and PC specs.

To enjoy a faster data recovery solution, you can go to ‘Settings’ before you start selecting file locations. Then allow skipping unallocated space on the disk, ignoring temporary files, damaged archive formats, or files embedded in files you don't need.
