File Recovery: Photo Restore

Deleted a photo you needed back? Files Recovery is a file recovery and photo recovery app that scans your Android storage and brings back the copies your phone left behind - photos, videos, audio, documents and contacts.

HOW THE SCAN WORKS
Android does not always erase a file the moment you delete it. Files Recovery looks in the four places where a recoverable copy usually survives: the system Trash on Android 11 and newer, thumbnail and preview caches, temporary folders left behind by camera and messaging apps, and unindexed files still sitting on internal storage. Everything it finds is listed with a preview, so you choose what comes back.

PHOTO RECOVERY
- Deep scan for deleted photos, camera shots and screenshots
- Preview every image at full size before you restore it
- Hide low-resolution thumbnails with one switch
- Filter by date, size and folder, sort newest or largest first
- Restore straight back to your gallery

VIDEO RECOVERY
- Find deleted videos, clips and saved status videos
- Play a preview before you restore
- Filter by length: under 5 minutes, 5 to 20, 20 to 60, over 60

AUDIO RECOVERY
- Recover deleted songs, voice recordings and voice messages
- MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, AAC, AMR and more

DOCUMENT RECOVERY
- Recover deleted PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, TXT and ZIP files
- Open a recovered document without leaving the app

CONTACTS RECOVERY AND BACKUP
- Find deleted contacts still held on the device
- Restore names and numbers in one tap
- Back up the full contact list so the next loss is undoable
- Search contacts by name or number

TRASH BIN
- See everything Android is holding in the system Trash
- Restore it, or empty it, before the 30-day timer clears it for good

JUNK CLEANER
- Clear app cache, temporary files, residual junk, ad junk and leftover APK files
- Whitelist the apps whose cache you want to keep
- See exactly how much space each clean gave back

DUPLICATE AND LARGE FILE CLEANER
- Group duplicate photos and keep only the copy you want
- Clear old screenshots in bulk
- Track down the large videos filling your storage

WHY FILES GO MISSING
- You emptied the gallery's recently deleted album
- A cleaner app removed more than you expected
- A chat app cleared its media cache
- A folder was moved, or a card was unmounted mid-write
- A system update or reset rebuilt the gallery index

BUILT FOR EVERY PHONE

- Dark mode
- 18 languages

WHY THE APP ASKS FOR ALL FILES ACCESS
A recovery scan has to read folders an ordinary file picker cannot open. All files access is used only to scan your device for recoverable files and to restore the ones you pick. Nothing is uploaded. Every scan runs offline on your phone.

WHAT RECOVERY CAN AND CANNOT DO
Recovery is never guaranteed. Files Recovery finds copies that still exist somewhere on your device. Once Android has overwritten the storage a file occupied, no app can bring it back. For the best result, scan as soon as you notice something is missing, and hold off on installing apps or taking new photos until you have.
