The catch? Photo recovery is a free service and works very well. Gihosoft would like you to purchase the pro upgrade that handles every other kind of file. It's a good deal.

First, find out where the lost photos you stored on Samsung Galaxy: on the internal storage or on the micro SD Card.

If the SD Card is your first option, avoid over-writing data by immediately removing the SD card from your device as soon as you realize you have deleted or lost files.

To recover files, you will need:

A computer/laptop (Windows or Mac OS)
Download RePicvid (Freeware)
SD card reader or USB cable

If you’re using the internal storage to store pics/videos, some Android data recovery Apps may help you, like Gihosoft Android Data Recovery, Undeleter(root required).

When your card connects to the computer successfully, RePicvid will detect it on the interface.

Step 3. Select and scan the SD card/disk drive where your photos/files were deleted lost.

Choose the SD memory card, then click on the “Scan” button to continue. The scanning is a read-only process so it won’t do harm to sector of the deleted data.
