Fair by design
See the recovery before you pay.
Scanning and previewing found files is free. If Recovery PhotoGraph finds what you need, one reasonably priced recovery pass unlocks export from that SD card. Each new card requires its own pass. There is no subscription and no charge just to discover whether recovery is possible.

Recovery rule number one
Protect the source.
Stop using the SD card as soon as you notice data loss. Save recovered files to a different drive so you do not overwrite the data you are trying to retrieve. No recovery tool can guarantee every file will be recoverable.
Mac SD card recovery questions
Before you scan.
Can I recover deleted photos from an SD card on a Mac?
Recovery PhotoGraph scans the SD card directly for recognizable photo, camera RAW, and video data. It can find files even when they no longer appear in Finder, provided their data has not been overwritten or the card has not physically failed.
Can I see recoverable files before paying?
Yes. Downloading the Mac app, scanning an SD card, and previewing the files it finds are free. You purchase one recovery pass for that specific card only when you decide to export.
Which camera RAW formats can it recover?
The scanner recognizes common Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, Panasonic, Olympus, Leica, Pentax, Sigma, Hasselblad, Phase One, and Kodak RAW formats, alongside JPEG, HEIC, PNG, TIFF, MOV, MP4, and other media formats.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. SD card scanning and file recovery happen locally on your Mac. Payment is handled separately through secure Stripe checkout; your recovered photo and video contents are not sent to the recovery-pass service.
What should I do immediately after losing photos?
Stop using the card. New photos or formatting can overwrite recoverable data. Scan the card as soon as practical, and always export recovered files to a different drive.
Can software repair a physically damaged SD card?
No software can repair broken electronics or guarantee every file. If macOS cannot detect the card at all, or the card disconnects repeatedly, a professional data-recovery laboratory may be the safer choice.
