Before you start, you may want to know:
1. RecoveryFox AI can restore regular photos or professional camera images that are even partially overwritten. However, the recovered image only shows the content of the intact area of the data.
2. The software can also accurately scan and recover 3D model files, such as 3DS, STL, OBJ, DXF, WRL, DWG, RVT, FBX, IFC, and more, although these files are not categorized as images.
3. Some image project files with layer effects, such as PSD, EPS, and AI files, have a more complex structure. If parts of these files have been overwritten, it is usually impossible to fully recover them as editable layered files.
RecoveryFox AI is a smart and user-friendly picture recovery software that helps you quickly restore lost or deleted photos and videos from memory cards, cameras, external hard drives, computer drives, USB flash drives, or other storage devices.
In this video, we will show you how to recover deleted footage from Insta360 X5 on Windows.
From vacation snapshots to professional photography, RecoveryFox AI gets them back. It works by scanning your device for deleted data and restoring them into complete files intelligently. Just follow the steps below to recover lost photos from an SD card, USB, or other storage media on Windows effortlessly.
Step 1. Connect Your USB to PC
Insert your USB flash drive into your computer’s USB port or an external adapter.
Step 2. Select File Location
Launch the delete photo recovery tool. On the startup interface, select the flash drive from the list of available drives to start a scan.
Step 3. Start Scanning
RecoveryFox AI will begin scanning your flash drive for lost or deleted photos. The scan time may vary from a few minutes to several hours, depending mainly on the drive size and file volume. You can pause or stop AI Scanning any time if you want to preview the found files early.
After stopping or completing the scan, narrow the results by filters like File Path, File Type, Modified Date, or File Size.
Step 4. Preview and Recover
To preview a photo, simply right-click the file and select “Preview.”
📢 The preview feature supports most common image formats, along with selected camera RAW files and professional formats, including 3DMAX, CAD, and Revit (BIM models).
However, for layered design files such as PSD, AI, EPS, as well as certain professional RAW formats like NEF, preview is not available. In these cases, you will need to recover the files first, then open them using the appropriate software.
Then, select the photos you want to recover and click "Recover". You can choose to recover individual files or all pictures under a certain photo format folder.
To prevent data overwriting, it's best to select a different drive or use an external USB drive or a hard disk.
To recover deleted photos from emptied Recycle Bin, the software will run a Quick Scan which usually completes within minutes and even shorter.
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.
Scan Settings for Photo Recovery:
Pictures saved in compressed archives or embedded within other files, such as documents, can also be recovered with RecoveryFox AI.
To perform the most thorough image recovery, go to “Settings” in the menu bar and make sure to uncheck the following two options before starting the scan:
Skip files inside archives
Skip files inside container files
