Memory Card Data Recovery

Memory Card Data Recovery for SD, microSD and CF — Sydney and Australia-wide

Wedding photos on a corrupted SD card. Drone footage on a microSD that suddenly reads empty. A CF card your camera now insists needs formatting. Memory cards carry some of the most irreplaceable files people own, and they fail without warning.

NexusByte recovers photos, video and files from SD, microSD, CF and other flash memory cards for photographers, videographers, drone pilots and everyday users in Sydney — with a simple mail-in option covering all of Australia.

Whether the card was accidentally formatted, corrupted mid-shoot, snapped in half or simply stopped being recognised, we assess it free of charge and quote before any recovery starts. And if we can't get your files back, you pay nothing at all.

Flash memory needs a gentler touch than you'd think

Memory cards have no moving parts, but they're far from indestructible. Controller failures, corrupted file tables and physical damage each call for different recovery techniques — and the wrong first move can overwrite the very photos you're trying to save.

We begin by working out why the card is misbehaving: a logical fault like accidental formatting, a corrupted file system from a mid-write power loss, a failed controller chip, or damage to the card itself. Wherever the hardware allows, we take a complete read-only image of the card and recover from that copy, so nothing we do can make the situation worse. For cards no computer can see at all, specialised flash recovery tools let us reach the memory chips more directly.

Read-only imaging before recovery
Formatted and deleted-file recovery
Corrupt file system reconstruction
Failed controller and dead-card techniques
Fragmented video reassembly

Photos and footage only exist once. We treat every card like it's carrying the only copy — because it usually is.

Built for every card. Engineered for every shoot.

From a phone's microSD to a professional camera's CFexpress, flash cards fail in similar ways across wildly different devices. We recover from all of them.

DSLR and mirrorless cameras
Drones and action cams
Dashcams and body cams
Android phone microSD
GoPro and 360 cameras
Audio field recorders
Game consoles and handhelds
CCTV and trail cameras

If it saves to a card, we can assess the card.

What you get back

Recovered photos and footage are only worth something if they open, play and sort correctly — so that's the standard we recover to.

Photos and videos returned on fresh media
RAW formats recovered alongside JPEGs
Reassembled video files checked for playback
A clear list of what was and wasn't saved

No recovery, no fee — if your files don't come back, there's nothing to pay.

How memory card recovery works

Cards are small, but the process is thorough. From the moment your card reaches us, here's what happens to it.

Memory card recovery services

Photo recovery from SD and microSD

The classic heartbreak: a card full of photos that's been formatted, corrupted or wiped by a camera error. Formatting rarely destroys the underlying images straight away — they often just need to be found.

Includes:

  • Accidentally formatted cards
  • Deleted photo recovery
  • Card error and corruption faults
  • RAW and JPEG recovery
  • Cards asking to be reformatted
Recover my photos

Video and drone footage recovery

Video files are large, fragmented and unforgiving of interruptions. Recovering footage that plays properly takes more than generic undelete software.

Includes:

  • Drone and action-cam footage
  • Dashcam incident footage
  • Interrupted-recording corruption
  • Fragmented video reassembly
  • 4K and high-bitrate files
Recover my footage

Damaged and dead card recovery

Snapped cards, bent cards, cards that no reader will acknowledge. Physical and controller-level failures need hardware techniques, and that's exactly what we assess for.

Includes:

  • Snapped and bent cards
  • Cards not detected by any reader
  • Water and heat damage
  • Failed controller chips
  • Monolithic microSD cards

The site works great on mobile and is easy for my clients to use. Honestly, it turned out even better than I expected. Big thank you layth.

Absolutely stoked with Laith from Nexus Byte 👏 He built my dream website from scratch and honestly made the whole process so easy. From the first chat to the final launch, he was patient, clear, and actually listened to what I wanted – then made it look even better than I had in mind.

Amazing service by Laith. Clear up front costing, really helpful to work with, and thorough in getting the job done right. I'd definitely use him and NexusByte again.

Laith went out of his way to fix my dad's computer when everything was closed. He came home and spared my dad the trouble of travel

Laith was reliable, helpful and professional - will be recommending.

Absolutely recommend NexusByte and will be first point of contact for any future hardware support and fix services, and hopefully dealing once again with Laith. The entire process was an A+ experience from the moment the call was answered, through to the diagnostic, repair and return of the damaged laptop. Laith is fantastic. In every element of his service and support. Very personable, engaging, knowledgeable and understands the critical importance of service to customers. He provided clear information for every step from booking the appointment, was on time for visiting my home for diagnosis + collection and for return of the item (on a weekend!), for what to expect through the diagnostic works, and for the quoting and payment process. The price for the services provided was very reasonable and affordable. One of the best service experiences I have had and right from 'go'.

We worked with Laith and the NexusByte team to design and build our new website and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Laith took the time to understand our brand and delivered a fantastic UI/UX that perfectly matches our company's look and feel. The website is modern, clean, and extremely easy to navigate. It's also fully responsive and works flawlessly across all screen sizes, from mobile to desktop. Communication throughout the project was clear and professional, and everything was delivered exactly as promised. We're very happy with the final result and would highly recommend NexusByte to anyone looking for high-quality web design and development.

Highly recommended, they go out of their way to provide old fashioned service

Laith did a great job on upgrading my iMac so I don't have to buy a new model. Very knowledgeable about all things IT. 👍

I am so grateful of Laith's assistance today during a difficult and stressful time. Laith from NexusBytes is so knowledgeable, patient and compassionate. He was so calm which reassured me that I had found the right person. It took Laith only minutes to find the problem with my laptop and address it so that I could go safely back to work. I cannot recommend Laith and NexusBytes enough. I have already put his contact details in my phone for the next time I need tech help! Thank you Laith. Tracey

Amazing service. Job done, Lovely staff - highly recommend

Laith from Nexus Byte was fantastic from start to finish. He fixed my Sonos internet connectivity problem where others had tried and failed. I particularly liked that he contacted me the day after his service call to check that everything was still OK with my system. I would not hesitate to recommend Laith's services. Thanks again. Paul

The team at NexusByte are absolutely unreal! Laith and Natalie went above and beyond to help me with my repair/upgrade, and looked for the most cost effective options to suit my needs. They were both very communicative, knowledgeable and super flexible with pick-ups times. Just outstanding customer service all round. Thanks guys!
