Let’s discuss all these options of Stellar Photo Recovery software in detail.

1. Preview

Turn OFF/ON preview of recoverable files

The software’s Preview feature is by default set to ON. With Preview turned ON, you would be able to see the recoverable photos in a preview section.

From the Advanced Settings window, you can turn the Preview option OFF before scanning the drive. This helps in reducing the time required for scanning and speeds up the file recovery process.

Once the scanning is complete, you can turn it ON again to see the preview of lost files before saving them.

Steps to turn the Preview ON or OFF:

From the home screen of the software, click Advanced Settings (gear icon)
This opens Advanced Settings window.
Select the Preview icon, and use the toggle switch to turn the Preview ON or OFF

[NOTE]: If you want the software to show the preview of corrupt photos in safe mode, you can select the ‘Preview corrupt photos in safe mode’.

2. File List

Choose the file formats you want to recover

Stellar Photo Recovery File List option shows you a list of photo, video, and audio file formats, and allows you to choose the file formats you want to recover. Again, this saves scanning time because the tool searches only the selected file formats while scanning.

To choose the required file formats, select the checkboxes next to the type of file formats.

3. Add Header

If you don’t see a file format of your choice in the File List, you can add it from the Add File Type option in Advanced Settings.

Use Add button to add at least 10 files with the file format you want to add
Click Add File Type, and the file format will be added to the list of supported file formats

This is the automated method of adding a required file format. To add a file format manually, choose ‘I know how to add file type’ radio button, provide the information in text boxes, and click Add File Type button.

Additional Setting

You can also edit an existing file format or a newly added file format. For this, navigate to the Edit File Type and change the size of desired file format or remove a file format added to the list.
