What Klennet Carver is
Klennet Carver is Windows software for recovering fragmented files when a filesystem is badly damaged. It works with storage media, memory cards, and whole-disk image files, and is designed for small media such as digital camera cards. Supported formats include JPEG, CR2, NEF, MP4, MOV, AVI, MPEG-2, Dahua DAV, ZIP, DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX. Carver combines header and fixed-size carving with proximity-based complex carving, plus limited bifragment carving during image recovery. File, image, and video previews are available. The evaluation version shows detected files and previews but does not copy files out. It requires 64-bit Windows 10 or later, .NET 4.8, at least 8 GB of RAM, and an always-on or near-always-on internet connection. Processing speed depends mainly on CPU performance; RAM and an optional temporary-drive cache support processing. RAID and bootable recovery are not supported. Personal and commercial licenses are offered, with personal use listed at $39, paid once and commercial use at $199, paid once.
