Hetman Photo Recovery is paid software for restoring deleted or lost photos and camera RAW images. It addresses deletion, formatting, partition loss, and file-system damage across Windows, Linux, and macOS. The program works with HDDs, SSDs, USB drives, memory cards, digital cameras, and disk images. Fast Scan and Full Analysis search for deleted images, while signature searching can locate image content when file-system metadata is unavailable. Supported formats include JPEG, PNG, TIFF, BMP, GIF, PSD, and camera RAW. It handles file systems including FAT, exFAT, NTFS, ReFS, APFS, HFS+, Ext2/3/4, XFS, Btrfs, ReiserFS, ZFS, and UFS. A trial scans and previews recoverable photos; saving requires a registration key. Results can go to a disk, folder, ZIP archive, or FTP. Read-only analysis and disk-image scanning limit repeated source access.
