News for February 2025

There have been many great developments and enhancements in DiskDigger for Windows over the last few months! Here is what's new in the latest version:

  • Improvements to previews and metadata extraction from certain raw photo formats.
  • Enhanced support for ReFS: Microsoft's Resilient File System continues to evolve with each new Insider build of Windows, and DiskDigger continues to support it. As a reminder, DiskDigger performs a "dual" scan of your disk: a filesystem-level scan, plus a full low-level scan which is filesystem-independent. When I say "support for [some file system]", it means that in addition to the full low-level scan, DiskDigger is also aware of file system structures that can help it derive metadata and fragmentation information about deleted files, which help it recover files in a more complete way.
  • Enhanced support for ZFS: If you are scanning a disk that was part of a ZFS pool, DiskDigger will attempt to parse the metadata and piece together potentially deleted files.
  • Improved recovery of orphaned directories and other metadata in FAT and exFAT file systems.
  • Improved support for UFS and UFS2 (Unix File System), which is the file system used in the BSD family of operating systems. Also added support for some more obscure and legacy Unix-style file systems, including Minix and Ultrix.
  • General minor improvements to stability and responsiveness of the interface.

This is the most powerful version of DiskDigger yet. Download it now, and see what it can recover for you!


On the Android side of things, the DiskDigger app is also more powerful than ever. Note that the Android app works best with rooted devices, but still has plenty of recovery capabilities for non-rooted devices. Check it out today.
