RecoveryFox AI is an AI-driven data recovery software launched by WonderFox Soft, supporting only the Windows platform, used to recover deleted, formatted, corrupted, and lost files. It is officially positioned as an intelligent, fast, and reliable recovery solution to address users' data loss troubles, developed based on WonderFox Soft's more than 15 years of technical accumulation since 2009.
[Main Uses] The software addresses data recovery needs in Windows systems and can retrieve data from storage devices such as HDDs, SSDs, USB flash drives, SD cards, the desktop, the Recycle Bin, and internal and external hard drives. Official statements indicate that it supports recovery of data loss caused by accidental deletion (including Shift + Delete), formatting, RAW partitions, unallocated partitions, partition loss, file system errors, and other reasons.
[Main Capabilities]

[How to use] The official three-step process is provided: Step 1: Launch RecoveryFox AI and select the hard drive, partition, or Recycle Bin where the data loss occurred. Step 2: Start scanning. A quick scan can instantly locate recently deleted files, after which an AI scan will deeply search for more fragmented data. Step 3: Preview and recover. Filter the scan results, preview lost photos or documents, and then safely recover what you need. Officially, it is recommended to download, install, and run the software from a drive different from the one where the data was lost, and recovered files should also be saved to another location or an external drive. Never save them back to the original drive, to avoid overwriting data.
[Applicable scenarios and limitations] Applicable scenarios include logical data loss such as accidental deletion, formatting, partition loss, and file system corruption; when a physically damaged mechanical hard drive makes clicking or grinding noises, it is officially recommended to power it off immediately and consult a professional data recovery service. It is officially emphasized that after data loss, use of the affected device should stop immediately, avoiding writing new data or installing software, to maximize the recovery success rate. Physical damage, permanent erasure by SSD TRIM, and similar situations may reduce the recovery success rate. Recovery time depends on drive size, health, file system, and hardware speed; small-capacity drives may take from a few minutes to an hour, while large-capacity drives or large amounts of recovery may take several hours or even days.
[System and hardware requirements] Operating systems: Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7/Vista, Windows Server 2022/2019/2016/2012/2008/2003. File systems: NTFS, exFAT, FAT32. CPU: 1 GHz or faster x86 or x64-bit Intel or AMD processor. Memory: minimum 4 GB, 8 GB and above recommended. Hard drive space: at least 1 GB of space is required for installation.
[Security and privacy] It is officially claimed that the software installer contains no bundled software, ads, or malicious programs, has been verified by mainstream antivirus engines as virus-free, can work completely offline, and keeps files and scan results on the local device without uploading or collecting user data.
[Pricing and versions] The official page mentions that free scanning and preview are provided and that an upgrade is required to recover files; the paid plans include descriptions such as no automatic renewal, unlimited recovery, 1 license for 1 PC, free updates and support, lifetime scanning and preview permissions, and 7-day and 30-day money-back guarantees.
