Recuva is a free version of professional data recovery software developed by Piriform (makers of CCleaner). Whether you accidentally deleted an important document, lost photos after a system crash, or emptied your Recycle Bin by mistake — Recuva can help you get your files back.
How Recuva Works
When you delete a file, Windows doesn't immediately erase it. The space is simply marked as available. Recuva scans your drive and finds these "hidden" files before they get overwritten by new data.
Deep Scan Mode
For hard-to-find files, enable deep scan mode. This thorough scan examines every sector of your drive to recover files that Quick Scan might miss. Deep scan is especially useful for formatted drives or corrupted storage devices.
Recover Any File Type
Recuva recovers virtually any file type: documents (DOC, PDF, XLS), photos (JPG, PNG, RAW), videos (MP4, AVI, MOV), music (MP3, FLAC), emails, and more. It works with hard drives, SSDs, USB flash drives, memory cards, and external storage.
Securely Overwrite Deleted Files
Need to permanently delete sensitive data? Recuva can securely overwrite files using military-grade deletion standards, making recovery impossible. This feature ensures your private information stays private.
