    Our Technology

    Professional Memory Card Recovery.

    Memory cards from older cameras often fail silently — they worked fine for years, then one day your device can't read them. This is frequently caused by corrupted file allocation tables, worn NAND flash cells, or oxidized contacts, not permanent data loss.

    Our professional card readers operate at multiple voltage levels and use lower-level access protocols that bypass standard filesystem errors. In most cases, we can recover files that appear completely inaccessible on consumer hardware.

    I had a 16GB CF card from our trip to Europe — my camera stopped reading it years ago. Capture got every single photo off it. Absolutely worth it.

    Box of old SD cards from our kids' childhood, going back to 2007. Everything recovered perfectly and now they're all in Google Photos. Such a relief.

    One of my microSD cards had a corrupted partition and my Mac wouldn't read it. They got all but about 10 photos back — more than I hoped for.

    Had about 20 old memory cards sitting in a drawer. Sent them all in and got thousands of photos back that I thought were gone forever. Incredible service.

    FAQ

    Frequently Asked Questions.

    What types of memory cards do you accept?

    We accept SD, SDHC, SDXC, microSD, microSDHC, microSDXC, CompactFlash (CF), CFast, CFexpress, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, xD-Picture Cards, and most proprietary formats used by older digital cameras and camcorders.

    What if my memory card is corrupted or won't read?

    That's our specialty. Many cards appear unreadable on consumer devices but respond to professional readers with deeper access protocols and higher voltage tolerance. We successfully recover files from most corrupted, formatted, or partially damaged cards.

    Will I get the original photo files or compressed versions?

    You'll receive the original files exactly as they were stored on the card — full resolution JPEGs, RAW files, videos, or whatever your camera originally saved. We never recompress or downscale your files.

    How long does memory card recovery take?

    Processing typically takes 2–3 weeks from the day we receive your cards. You'll receive an email notification when your files are ready.

    Will I get my original memory cards back?

    Yes, always. Your original cards are returned to you in the same shipment as your digital files.

    How many memory cards can I send at once?

    As many as you'd like — there's no minimum or maximum. Just add them all to your project and we'll handle the rest.
