Our Memory Card Recovery Process

1

Card Assessment

We examine the card for physical damage, test functionality, and determine the failure type to create a recovery plan.

2

Chip-Level Recovery

For physically damaged cards, we can read data directly from the memory chip using specialised equipment.

3

Data Extraction

We create a sector-by-sector image of the card and use advanced software to recover deleted or corrupted files.

4

File Verification & Return

We verify that photos and videos are intact and viewable, then return your recovered data organized by file type.
