What does Aiseesoft Data Recovery do?

Aiseesoft Data Recovery scans a drive for deleted or lost files and restores them to a location you choose. It offers two modes: a fast Quick Scan and a slower Deep Scan that searches sector by sector for traces the quick pass misses. It handles common loss situations such as an emptied Recycle Bin, Shift+Delete, formatted partitions, RAW drives, and files lost after a software or system crash. The scan runs entirely on your computer and does not upload your files to any cloud server.

Which devices and file types does it support?

It recovers from internal and external HDDs and SSDs, USB flash drives, SD/CompactFlash/Memory Stick cards, and digital cameras. Supported file categories include images, documents such as DOC/XLS/PPT/PDF, email containers like PST, DBX, and EMLX, audio, video, archives such as ZIP and RAR, and databases. You can select specific file types before scanning to keep results focused, then use the Filter and Path List views to locate items quickly. Most files can be previewed before recovery, which lets you confirm a file is intact instead of restoring blindly.

Does it recover data from an iPhone or Android phone?

No. Aiseesoft Data Recovery works on computers and computer-connected storage, not the internal memory of iPhones or Android phones. For phone-based recovery of messages, contacts, or photos, Aiseesoft sells a separate product (FoneLab), so this tool is the wrong choice for that task. It can, however, recover deleted files from a phone's removable microSD card if you connect that card to your PC with a reader. Confirm your target is a disk or card, not phone internal storage, before buying.

How do the Windows and Mac versions differ?

They are separate purchases, and a license activates one platform only, so a Windows key will not run the Mac build and the reverse is also true. The core feature set is broadly the same on both: Quick and Deep scan, the same file categories, preview, and filtering. The Windows version supports Windows 11/10/8/7, while the Mac version requires macOS X 10.7 or later. There are no Standard, Professional, or Technician tiers, so each platform ships as a single edition and you choose by operating system rather than by feature level.

What should you check before choosing Aiseesoft Data Recovery?

First confirm you need recovery rather than backup, because this tool restores files that are already lost but does not create scheduled backups or disk images to prevent the next incident. It targets desktop Windows and macOS, and Windows Server is not listed among supported systems. Stop using the affected drive immediately, since new writes can overwrite the deleted data you are trying to recover. Run the free trial to scan and preview first, as the actual recovery of found files requires the paid version.

Frequently asked questions about Aiseesoft Data Recovery

Can it recover files from a formatted or RAW drive?

Yes. It can detect and restore data from formatted partitions, RAW drives, and corrupted or inaccessible file systems, as long as the relevant sectors have not yet been overwritten. Use Deep Scan for these cases, since the faster Quick Scan often misses files on damaged or reformatted volumes.

Will scanning my drive overwrite the lost files?

No. The software reads the source drive and writes recovered files to a separate location you select, rather than altering the original drive. As a safeguard, always save recovered files to a different disk than the one being scanned to avoid overwriting data that is still being searched.

Is there a free version?

Aiseesoft offers a free trial that scans and previews recoverable files, so you can confirm your data is findable before paying. Restoring those found files requires the paid version; the trial itself is limited to scanning and preview.
