Recoverit review
A broad recovery toolkit with strong media repair and storage-device coverage.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Recoverit is desktop data recovery software from Wondershare for recovering deleted, formatted, lost, or inaccessible files. It is suited to people working with internal and external hard drives, SSDs, USB drives, memory cards, cameras, drones, camcorders, NAS devices, Linux storage, disk images, and other supported media. File preview, disk-image recovery, and recovery across more than 1,000 file formats make it applicable to both everyday file loss and more specialized storage problems.
The free edition provides a 500-unit recovery limit. The published annual plans start with Essential at $69.99, adding unlimited file recovery, recovery from hard drives and locations, disk-image recovery, deep scan, file preview, and SD card and USB drive recovery. Standard costs $79.99 per year and adds bootable disk or USB creation and recovery from crashed computers. Premium costs $99.99 per year and adds NAS and Linux recovery, RAID corruption recovery, enhanced photo and video recovery, and corrupted video repair. The plan structure is straightforward: Standard focuses on crashed-computer recovery, while Premium is the tier for broader device coverage and advanced media work.
Recoverit's strongest specialization is media-heavy recovery. Enhanced photo and video recovery, including fragmented-video recovery, gives Premium a clearer role than a basic undelete tool, especially for files spread across fragmented storage. Its support for memory cards, cameras, and other removable media also fits photography and video workflows. The trade-off is platform scope: Recoverit supports Windows and macOS, while bootable recovery is specifically described for crashed Windows computers. Choose it for broad file-format coverage, varied storage sources, and advanced photo or video recovery; choose an alternative if your priority is another operating system or if the required features do not justify an annual paid plan.
