DiskDigger

The trusted data recovery solution.

I'm happy to announce that DiskDigger for Android now supports recovering HEIF images (High Efficiency Image Format), as well as HEVC videos. The upcoming release of Android P is planned to support saving photos from the camera using the new HEIF format, and DiskDigger is now ready to recover them in case they are accidentally deleted.

• Recovering HEIF images is supported in the Basic scan as well as the Full scan. However, the Basic scan is only able to recover these types of images from your device's thumbnail cache. The Full scan, which can detect HEIF images throughout your device's internal memory, the device must be rooted.
• You can use DiskDigger to recover HEIF images from any version of Android (not just Android P). However, the app can only display previews of HEIF images when running in Android 8 (Oreo) or above.

DiskDigger for Windows, on the other hand, has already been able to recover HEIF images for a while now. If your Android device uses a microSD card for storing photos or videos, it's recommended to remove the card and connect it to your PC using a card reader, and scan it using the Windows version of DiskDigger.
