recoverjpeg

A tool to recover lost files on damaged memory cards or USB drives

recoverjpeg tries to recover JFIF (JPEG) pictures and MOV movies (using recovermov) from a peripheral. This may be useful if you mistakenly overwrite a partition or if a device such as a digital camera memory card is bogus. You can also read the recoverjpeg story.

For more information, please read the manual page for recoverjpeg.
