SD card on your Mac or camera\u2014or deleted the wrong ones\u2014this article is for you. We\u2019ll show you exactly where those files can be found or how to recover deleted files from your SD card on Mac. Whether you&#8217;re looking to recover photos, videos, or other files, we\u2019ve got you covered.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is_it_possible_to_recover_deleted_files_from_an_sd_card_on_a_mac\"><\/span>Is it Possible to Recover Deleted Files from an SD Card on a Mac?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you delete files from an SD card on macOS, they are not immediately lost forever. If you delete files while the SD card is connected to your Mac, the files move to the Trash. However, if the files were deleted from an SD card using a camera or another device, such as a Windows PC, they bypass the trash and are directly marked for deletion, though they still occupy the physical space until overwritten. This keeps the door open for recovery using specialized SD recovery software, <strong>but several factors critically impact the likelihood of success<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u2753 <b>Type of Data Loss.<\/b>\u00a0The nature of the data loss\u2014accidental deletion, formatting, or corruption\u2014plays a significant role in recovery possibilities.<\/li>\n<li>\u23f3 <b>Time Elapsed Since the Loss.<\/b>\u00a0The sooner you attempt recovery after data loss, the better the chances of successful recovery, as ongoing usage can overwrite the data you aim to restore.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udcbe <b>SD Card Usage Post-Deletion.<\/b>\u00a0Continuing to use the SD card after data loss can severely diminish recovery prospects, as new data can overwrite the deleted files.<\/li>\n<li>\u2702\ufe0f <strong>SD-ERASE command on cameras<\/strong>. Some cameras and SD cards support the SD-ERASE command, which is executed by the SD card&#8217;s internal controller when requested by the host device (like a camera). Each camera manufacturer handles data deletion differently, so the chances of recovery also depend on the specific device the SD card was used with.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"frame_bg frame_bg--success\"><div class=\"frame_bg--title\"><\/div>\u2705 <strong>Note<\/strong>. In cases of Mac SD card recovery, we always recommend the following steps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\ud83d\uded1 Don\u2019t save or access anything on the card. Any activity could overwrite the data you\u2019re trying to recover.<\/li>\n<li>\u2b06\ufe0f Safely eject the SD card (remove it from your camera properly to avoid file corruption.)<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udee1\ufe0fKeep it in a dry, secure spot to protect it from physical damage.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc40 Switch the SD card to read-only mode to keep its data intact.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"check_your_trash_bin_to_recover_deleted_files_from_sd_card_on_mac\"><\/span>Check Your Trash Bin to Recover Deleted Files from SD Card on Mac<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As we already mentioned, if you deleted files from your SD card while it was connected to your Mac, there\u2019s a good chance they were moved to the Trash Bin. <strong>This is one of the easiest and quickest ways to recover deleted files from an SD card on a Mac:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Click on the Trash icon in your Dock.<\/li>\n<li>Browse through the contents of the Trash to find the files you\u2019ve deleted from the SD card. You can search by file name if you remember it, or sort the files by type or date to locate them more quickly.<\/li>\n<li>Once you find the files, you can right-click on the file and select \u201cPut Back,\u201d which will move the files back to their original location on the SD card. Alternatively, you can drag the files from the Trash to your desktop or another folder on your Mac.<br \/>\n<img fetchpriority=\"high\" class=\"border-gray aligncenter wp-image-6028 size-full\" src=\"\/\/www.insanelymac.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/put-back-files-from-trash-bin.jpg\" alt=\"put back files from trash bin to sd card\" width=\"1833\" height=\"885\" \/><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This method only works if the Trash has not been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insanelymac.com\/blog\/recover-emptied-trash-mac\/\">emptied<\/a> since you deleted the files from the SD card. If the Trash has been emptied or the files aren\u2019t there, you\u2019ll need to consider SD data recovery software, as described in the following sections.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"have_you_checked_your_cloud_backups\"><\/span>Have You Checked Your Cloud Backup(s)?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve used your SD card with a device connected to cloud services, like a smartphone or newer digital camera, it might be worth it to check your cloud backups. Photos or videos you thought were deleted might still be stored in services like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.icloud.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iCloud<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/workspace.google.com\/products\/drive\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Drive<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dropbox<\/a>. Many modern devices automatically sync media to the cloud, so before attempting recovery software, check your cloud storage for any deleted files.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udc49 <strong>Check the \u201cRecently Deleted\u201d folder<\/strong>. Many cloud services have a &#8220;Recently Deleted&#8221; folder where files are kept for a period after deletion, so you may find your files there even if they\u2019ve been removed from the main library.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"border-gray aligncenter wp-image-8360 size-full\" src=\"\/\/www.insanelymac.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/i_cloud_recently.jpg\" alt=\"Check the \u201cRecently Deleted\u201d folder\" width=\"2422\" height=\"1682\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how_to_recover_files_from_an_sd_card_on_mac_using_third-party_software\"><\/span>How to Recover Files from an SD Card on Mac Using Third-party Software<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In most cases of successful recovery of deleted files from an SD card on Mac, it\u2019s SD data recovery software that deserves praise.

Its consistent performance with deleted files from SD cards has made it one of our favorite tools.<\/p>\n<p>\u2705 <strong>Here\u2019s what we like about Disk Drill:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Support for all commonly used SD cards.<\/li>\n<li>Clean, intuitive interface.<\/li>\n<li>Powerful scan modes \u2013 <strong>Quick Scan<\/strong> (for recently deleted files), <strong>Deep Scan<\/strong> (for formatted or corrupted SD cards), <strong>Signature Scan<\/strong> (searches for file signatures when the file system is damaged).<\/li>\n<li>Supports a wide range of file formats \u2013 Disk Drill handles common formats like JPEG, PNG, and MP4, as well as more obscure formats like RAW photo formats (CR2, NEF) and RAW video formats (ARW, MXF).<\/li>\n<li>Preview and recover files before the scan is finished \u2013 Unlike many other tools, Disk Drill lets you see and restore files even while the scan is still running.<\/li>\n<li>Byte-for-byte backup \u2013 Allows you to create an exact copy of your SD card for safe recovery.<\/li>\n<li>Free version \u2013 Offers scanning, file preview, and additional free features without a paid upgrade.<\/li>\n<li>Strong preview feature \u2013 Capable of displaying even rare RAW media files that many other recovery tools can\u2019t handle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>These advantages position Disk Drill as an ideal solution.

However, it&#8217;s not perfect.<\/p>\n<p>\u274e <strong>What we don\u2019t like about PhotoRec:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Relies only on signature scanning. PhotoRec can\u2019t retrieve file names or folder structures, which means you\u2019ll be sifting through unnamed files, which makes the recovery process time-consuming.<\/li>\n<li>Unlike the Windows version, which has a basic GUI, the macOS version is CLI-only.<\/li>\n<li>PhotoRec is not updated frequently.<\/li>\n<li>No option to create backup disk copies.<\/li>\n<li>Not all file signatures are selected by default.

Whether you opt for the powerful yet user-friendly Disk Drill, the capable (but technical) PhotoRec, or the easy-to-use FonePaw Data Recovery, these tools offer a lifeline for recovering lost data from your SD card.
