First and foremost, stop taking photos with your Canon camera and take out the memory card as soon as possible. Then Download and install the software to your PC or laptop. There are two versions for Windows and Mac users, and it supports operating system from Windows XP to 10/Mac OS X v10.6 or later. After that, if your computer has a built-in reader, directly insert the memory card to its USB port. Or connect the card to computer with a card reader. You should make sure the card is recognized well on your computer, then start the software and follow steps below for free Canon photo recovery.
Step 1. Select a Recovery Option For File Type
If you only recover photos, choose free “Photo/Graphic”. Or you could try paid “All File Type” for images, videos and audio files. I’m just going to introduce free photo recovery here.
Step 2. Select Storage Media For Recovery
When connecting card to computer, it will show on the software. Click on it and then pick image format in “Advanced Settings” for JPG or CRW (canon raw pictures).
Step 3. Scan Formatted Canon Camera Memory Card for All Photos
Click “Scan” to browse all photos in the memory card. It will remind you the process and estimated time remaining, just wait patiently for the scanning results.
After scanning stops, preview all lost photos in the card and tick those you need. Then click “Recover” and select local disk of your computer to save them. When the recovering ends, all of your recovered photos will generate a folder automatically.
After getting back your lost Canon photos, back them up to social account or cloud device.
