Retvara-Recovery Assistant

Retvara gives you a practical way to check whether missing or deleted files may still be recoverable on your device. Start a scan, review the results, and save only the files you choose.

Recovery tools for common file types

Retvara can help you scan for recoverable photos, videos, audio files, documents, screenshots, and other supported files. It is designed for situations such as accidental deletion, missing media, storage changes, or files that were removed before you had a chance to save them.

The app supports recovery checks for common formats, including:

- Photos: JPG, PNG, HEIC, WebP
- Videos: MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV
- Audio: MP3, WAV, AAC, FLAC
- Documents: PDF, DOC, DOCX, XLS, TXT
- Archives: ZIP, RAR

Review before restoring

Retvara keeps the recovery process under your control. Choose a file category, start a scan, review detected results, select the items you want, and save them back to the device. Files are not restored automatically without your choice.

A clear scan and restore workflow

1. Choose the type of files to check.
2. Scan device storage for recoverable items.
3. Review or preview the detected results.
4. Select the files you want to keep.
5. Save the selected files locally.

Results are organized to make scanning easier to review. You can check photos, videos, audio, documents, screenshots, similar photos, and other available categories from the recovery interface.

Local recovery process

Storage access is used for user-started scanning, file recovery, saving selected files, and recovery status updates. Recovery processing is performed on the device, and files are not uploaded as part of the recovery operation. Broader storage access may be required because standard file selection APIs may not provide enough access to inspect recoverable files across device storage.

Status and completion updates

Some scans or recovery tasks may take time. Retvara may show a foreground notification while a recovery task is running, along with a completion notification when the task finishes. These notifications are used for recovery progress and completion information.

Recovery results vary

No recovery app can guarantee that every deleted file will be found or restored. Results depend on the device, storage conditions, deletion timing, available space, and whether the original data has already been overwritten. For the best chance of finding recoverable content, scan as soon as possible after files are lost.

Retvara helps you scan, review, select, and save files through a straightforward recovery workflow.
