You may have learned that deleted pictures from a SanDisk memory card maybe still recoverable if you act quickly, with a program called — SanDisk RescuePro.
Is this program officially developed by SanDisk (or its parent company Western Digital)? Are there any other good alternatives to RescuePro when it comes to retrieving pictures and other types of media files from a memory card?
We're going to cover the topic in this article.
What is SanDisk RescuePro?
Rescuepro Data Recovery Software
RescuePRO software is designed and developed by LC Technology International Inc, a company based out of Florida, USA. The program actually includes two versions: RescuePRO (standard) & RescuePRO Deluxe. Both versions can recover many types of file formats ranging from images, videos, music and more. But the Deluxe version tends to be more powerful as it supports many more additional RAW image formats and multimedia formats; also, RescuePRO Deluxe supports card capability up to 512GB while the standard version is only up to 64GB.
We couldn't find such disclosed information on the relationship between LC Technology and SanDisk. We thus assume they are business partners, that could be the reason why SanDisk directs its card users to the LC Technology product.

When can't RescuePro or other alternatives help?
All data recovery software work only when your memory card can be recognized by a computer, and the data contained in your deleted files are not fully written over. That means if your card is damaged or the data has been overwritten, chances of recovery can be slim if not none. But if the pictures and files are really important to you, you can contact a professional data recovery center for services. Be sure to choose a reliable one preferably in your area as many remote centers are scams. One last thing: always back up your data.
