Is it possible to restore photos from a formatted memory card?

Yes, you can recover photos from your memory card even after formatting.

A quick format doesn’t fully delete the photos — it just removes the “list” that tells the card where your photos are. The photos are still inside until something new replaces them.

What you should do:

• Stop using the card immediately.
• Don’t take new photos or copy anything to it.

Recovery method:
Use any trustworthy photo recovery software (Stellar Photo Recovery, PhotoRec, Recuva).
Just connect the card → run a deep scan → preview → recover photos to a different location.

Success rate:
Generally good if the card was formatted once and no new data was added.
