Recoverit Free is a free and relatively simple data recovery program that can recover files from corrupted drives, recently released files, files trapped on partitions and much more. Recovering data can be difficult and isn't always successful, but this program boasts a high success rate and is easier than many other similar programs.

Primary Features

Recoverit Free is designed to help you recover recently lost files. Most data recovery programs are difficult to use, but this one is relatively simple. After selecting the recovery option, the program will get to work and will find all files that are still on the hard drive or partition.

The scan might take a long time depending on the size of your hard drive. This is common of recovery programs. Once the scan is complete, the program will show you a list of available files that you can recover and place back on your hard drive. The developer boasts a 96 percent success rate of finding files. This makes Recoverit Free as good as many premium programs.

Simple Interface

The interface is relatively simple and you are given six different scan options. You can choose to look for files that were recently deleted, files destroyed by viruses, lost partitions, external drive recovery and more. This reduces the overall scan time and ensures that you only find files that you're looking for. There's no reason to scan the whole system if you only want files that you accidentally deleted.

Recoverit Free will then display all the files based on file type. The gives the list some organization and makes it easy to find a JPEG, PDF, MOV or other file based on your needs. This organization also prevents the list from getting overwhelming if you're searching the entire hard drive. You can either select individual files or all the files at once.

Deep Search

Some files are hidden very deep in the hard drive. This is especially true if the file was deleted a while ago or if the hard drive is corrupted. The deeper a recovery program can search, the higher likelihood of success and finding the files you're looking for.

Recoverit Free searches very deeply into the directory to find hidden files that might be missed by other programs.

Recovery Speed

Recoverit Free is rather fast when it comes to recovering files. It's about on par with premium programs, which ensures you don't have to wait forever for the file to be usable again. You can expect fast recovery times for individual files along with large amounts of data. Whether you're recovering an image or the whole hard drive, you shouldn't have to wait too file for the files to be in your possession again.
