DiskDigger

Recover lost photos and videos with powerful scanning

DiskDigger is a focused data recovery tool designed to rescue photos, videos and documents that seemed gone for good. Whether you wiped an entire memory card by accident or just emptied your gallery, this utility digs through internal storage and external cards to bring back what it can.

The interface is plain but straightforward. You choose where to scan, pick the file types you care about, then let DiskDigger get to work. On non‑rooted devices, it runs a “Basic Scan” that combs through visible storage, thumbnail caches and databases. This is often enough for recently deleted pictures and some videos, but older or deeply overwritten files are less likely to come back.

Where DiskDigger truly shines is on rooted devices. With full access to the memory, the “Full Scan” can uncover a much broader range of files and older deletions. The trade‑off is time: deep scans on large storage can be slow, and you’ll often sift through hundreds of tiny or corrupted items before finding the ones you want.

Recovered files can be saved locally or uploaded directly to cloud services like Google Drive and Dropbox, or sent by email, which makes organizing and backing them up far easier. There are also extra tools: an experimental Clean up feature to permanently remove junk, and a Wipe free space option to make previously deleted data unrecoverable.

You must grant DiskDigger extensive file access, which may worry privacy‑minded users, but this level of permission is inherent to serious recovery software. Overall, DiskDigger is a powerful, no‑nonsense choice for anyone desperate to get important media back—especially if the device is rooted.
