GoPro Recovery
Recover Deleted GoPro Videos and Photos
Recoverit helps recover deleted, formatted, corrupted, or lost GoPro videos, photos, LRV files, THM files, and other media from GoPro microSD cards. It is best suited to logical data loss,
including accidental deletion, SD card errors, interrupted transfers, formatting, and files that are still recoverable from a detectable card. If your GoPro or microSD card is physically damaged, water-damaged, overheating, or not detected on any computer or card reader, stop repeated attempts and consider professional recovery service.
Why GoPro Videos and Photos Get Lost?
GoPro footage can be lost because of accidental deletion, microSD card errors, interrupted transfers, unintended formatting, camera damage, or recording interruptions.
The safest next step depends on whether the file was deleted, the card was formatted, the card is corrupted, or the device itself is damaged.
GoPro videos and photos may be deleted from the camera, Quik app, computer, or microSD card before they are backed up. Stop recording immediately so new footage does not overwrite the deleted files.
GoPro SD card errors, improper ejection, RAW file system issues, or card corruption can make footage disappear or become unreadable. Recover files first before formatting or repairing the card.
Disconnecting the GoPro, card reader, or computer before a transfer finishes can leave files missing, incomplete, or corrupted.
A GoPro microSD card may be formatted by mistake in the camera, computer, or app. Recovery may still be possible if new footage has not overwritten the original data.
Drops, water exposure, battery removal during recording, or card damage can cause video loss or corruption. If the card is not detected anywhere, avoid repeated attempts and consider professional recovery.
Battery loss, sudden shutdown, overheating, and failed recording sessions can create broken or incomplete GoPro files that may require both recovery and repair.
Recover GoPro Video, Photo, LRV, THM, and GPS Files
- Recoverit can recover common GoPro media and metadata files from microSD cards, including MP4, HEVC, MOV, JPG, LRV, THM, GPX, and related file types when the data is still recoverable.
- For creators, this helps recover high-resolution action footage, quick-preview files, thumbnails, photos, and GPS-related files used in GoPro workflows.
Recover Files From GoPro HERO, MAX, and Creator Edition Cameras
Recoverit supports GoPro recovery workflows for files stored on microSD cards used with GoPro HERO, MAX, and Creator Edition cameras. The recovery process focuses on the card and file data, so results depend on microSD card condition and whether the footage has been overwritten.

Where GoPro Stores Videos, Photos, and Recovery Files
GoPro cameras usually store videos, photos, LRV files, THM files, and related media on removable microSD, microSDHC, or microSDXC cards
rather than internal storage. That means most GoPro recovery work should focus on the microSD card used in the camera. For the best recovery chance,
remove the card from the GoPro, connect it with a stable card reader, and scan the card before recording new footage.
Compatible
