Recuva - recover

Deleted a photo by mistake? Most phones don't erase it right away. Recuva Recover finds what can still be brought back and restores it in a few taps.

Recently deleted
On Android 11 and newer, deleted photos, videos and audio stay in the system trash for 30 days. Recuva Recover lists them with the days left and restores them to their original place in your gallery.

Hidden copies
Photos and videos often survive in places your gallery doesn't show: WhatsApp and Telegram folders, sent media, hidden albums and other hidden folders. A Full Storage Scan finds them and saves copies back into your gallery.

Cloud backups guide
If a photo was backed up, Google Photos keeps it in Trash for up to 60 days. One tap opens Google Photos Trash, your gallery's Recycle Bin, Google Drive Trash and Google Contacts' "Undo changes".

Contact recovery
Finds contacts deleted on this phone that haven't synced away yet, and restores them. Also links to recovery through Messenger and Google Contacts.

Also included
• Restore Center to view, share or delete recovered copies
• Junk Cleaner for app cache and leftover installer files
• Dark and light themes
• English, Arabic, French, German and Spanish

Private by design
Everything runs on your phone. Your files are never uploaded.

Good to know
Android permanently erases files deleted more than 30 days ago, or emptied from the trash. No app can recover those from the phone itself, so check your cloud backups too.

Recuva Recover needs "All files access" to search every folder, including hidden folders and the system trash.

This app is free and shows clearly labelled promotions for our partner, Foliofa.
