Download: Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery 5 (Mac, Windows)

With every personal computing device — be it a digital camera, tablet, or a mobile phone — these days features a snapper to let you capture memories at any time. Digital photographs being data store on any device's storage memory is prone to accidental deletion or data corruption. While there are several data recover tools, the ones that work well are usually quite expensive. If you are looking for something specifically to recover photos, utilities such as Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery can come to your rescue.

As compared to the previous iteration of the software, version 5 sports a better interface, but covers similar features with support for more camera formats and mass storage devices. A major turn-off on when using product is that it continues to suffer from certain issues as observed in the older version — it could do with a few more options to tweak searches and a better way to track the recovery progress. A few menu options, and a little more clarity with instructions on the UI would have been useful. While the applictaion is free to download, you need to purchase the registration key for recovering your data. On the plus side though, the software seems light on system resources. Although adding audio and video recovery is a nice touch, it seems a bit too high-priced, just toss in a few hundreds more and you can get a better recovery tool such as R-STUDIO, or even the free-to-use PC Inspector tool.
