5/5 – Excellent Recovery Results for a Professional Photographer As a professional photographer and photojournalist with more than 20 years of experience, I have unfortunately seen data-loss situations many times—both in my own work and while helping other photographers. About a year ago, I accidentally lost RAW and JPEG photographs from a 256GB Sony TOUGH UHS-II SD card used with my 45.7-megapixel Nikon D850. The card contained photographs from an entire event, so losing them would have meant losing an important professional assignment. I had used other recovery software in the past, and recovery was often difficult or incomplete. My experience with Stellar Photo Recovery was completely different. I recovered nearly 2,000 photographs successfully. In my case, the recovered photographs came back properly, without visible digital corruption or overlapping images, and the important file information, dates, and camera-generated filenames were preserved. I was also impressed by the recovery speed. In my experience, Stellar was able to recover almost 100GB of files within approximately 2–3 hours, although recovery time will naturally depend on the card, computer, connection speed, and condition of the data. Based on that experience, I give Stellar 5 out of 5 stars and would confidently consider using it again if I faced a similar situation. I would also like to share some practical advice from my experience as a photographer: If photographs are accidentally deleted or a memory card develops a problem, stop using the card immediately and try recovery as soon as possible. Do not continue shooting or write new files to the card, because new data may overwrite the deleted data and make recovery much more difficult or impossible. For professional work, I strongly recommend investing in reliable, high-quality memory cards from reputable manufacturers. When your camera supports it, I prefer high-speed UHS-II cards, such as the 256GB Sony TOUGH UHS-II SD card, for demanding professional photography. I also prefer not to operate cards constantly at their absolute maximum capacity. Having adequate extra capacity provides a better working margin, although the most important rule after accidental deletion is simply not to write additional data to the affected card. Before beginning recovery, prepare a reliable computer, prevent sleep or unexpected shutdowns, maintain stable power, and make sure the destination drive has plenty of available storage. Never recover the files back onto the same memory card you are trying to recover. For a large card, I would prepare considerably more free disk space than the amount of data I expect to recover because recovery software may identify multiple versions or additional recoverable files. My wish for every photographer is that they never have to face a recovery situation. But if it happens, based on my own experience, Stellar is a recovery solution I can recommend to fellow photographers and other professionals.

I’m had a micro SD card that became corrupted, which put some very valuable videos at risk. I was desperate to restore them, and found Stellar. The price was high but competitive for a highly rated product. I was able to restore my card and retrieve my data. That was a big, big deal. Auto-renewal policy is seven days’ notice, which is adequate, and customer service is surprisingly responsive.
