Data Rescue Supported File Types
Our Data Recovery Software has the ability to learn new formats
You might notice something interesting about the file formats listed below that our software can recover. You will see a myriad of picture formats when scanning the list. In fact, there are about 30 different formats. You might be wondering why there are so many different formats. When a software developer designs a new picture program, they often develop a new file format to go with it.
However, software that is designed for picture manipulation will often include a specialized format (one that is based on a common format) to allow the user to save changes that remain editable. This allows the user to edit the photo or graphic file over multiple sessions. If the picture manipulation is complex, it may not be possible or feasible to edit in one sitting. Therefore, some of these formats are designed for ongoing editing.
Picture recovery can often be a more complex task than other file recovery procedures. The reason is that picture formats are often developed more frequently to accommodate program changes. Fortunately, our data recovery software has the ability to learn new formats, ensuring a more successful picture recovery.
Supported File Types
Below is a list of the file types supported for Reconstructed Files. In addition to these, other file types not on this list may often be recoverable with the new FileIQ feature, using user-supplied sample files to teach Data Rescue about that type.
