The record

Purpose: CardRescue is macOS software for recovering deleted photos and videos, or media lost from formatted or damaged memory cards.
Recovery cases: It lists accidental or intentional deletion, formatting, card corruption or damage, inaccessible cards, unexpected camera shutdown, and use across different devices as recovery cases.
Card types: It supports SD, SDHC, SDXC, microSD, microSDHC, CompactFlash, xD, Memory Stick, and other memory cards up to 256 GB.
File formats: It supports common image formats including JPG and TIF, many raw formats including Nikon NEF and Canon CRW and CR2, and video formats including AVI, MOV, and AVCHD.
Workflow: Users select a memory card drive, file type, and destination folder; the software scans the card, lists found files, and lets users preview thumbnails before saving.

Recovery caveat: The maker says recovery is not always possible and overwritten files may no longer be recoverable.
