PRESS INFORMATION ABOUT FILE RECOVERY HERO
==============================================================================

Everything a newsroom or a software directory needs — in one place, dated,
without having to ask.

You may use this material without asking us first.
The text and figures on this File Recovery Hero press page are cleared for
reuse, including in shortened form. We only ask that you keep the section on
product limits: data recovery is a field where inflated expectations cause
real damage.

PLEASE MENTION THIS: Whether a file comes back is not promised.
  It depends on whether the file is still untouched on the medium. This
  software cannot bring back anything that has already been overwritten.

01 / Facts · Key facts at a glance
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These figures are current as of 20 September 2026. Version numbers and
checksums are deliberately not in this table but on the releases page, where
they are generated directly from the published download manifests and
therefore cannot go stale.

02 / Description · Descriptions in three lengths
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One line: File Recovery Hero recovers deleted photos, videos and audio
recordings from exFAT, NTFS and FAT16/FAT32 media and from disk images —
read-only.

One paragraph: File Recovery Hero finds deleted and lost files on exFAT memory
cards, on NTFS drives and in uncompressed disk images. The source medium is
only ever read; recovered files are always written to a different medium.
Instead of just listing hits, the app validates the recovered media and marks
unconfirmed results. Available for macOS and Windows in four languages, for 50
euros once, with a ten-year term and two devices — no subscription.

In detail: The application reads the selected medium sector by sector and
evaluates the exFAT, NTFS and FAT16/FAT32 file system structures. Where a
directory entry survives, it takes the original name, folder path and exact
size from it; where it does not, it searches free space for the signatures of
the supported media formats and reconstructs start and end. Every hit carries
a rating and a readable explanation of why the app decided that way. Before
exporting, it checks the structure of the file; anything it cannot confirm is
marked as unconfirmed instead of quietly counted as a success.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
03 / Difference · What sets this software apart
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  - The source medium is never written to. Exporting onto the source is blocked
    by the application, not merely discouraged.
  - Every hit carries an explanation. The app shows where name and size came
    from and whether the file's clusters are still marked as free.
  - Unconfirmed results are marked as such instead of being counted as
    successes.
  - One purchase, not a subscription: 50 euros once, ten years, two devices.
  - No ad network, no bundled third-party software, no hidden installations: the
    archive contains the application and its open-source verification tools, and
    the app goes online only for licence activation.
  - Interface and documentation in four languages, on macOS and on Windows.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
04 / Limits · What this software cannot do
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This section belongs in every mention. It is not fine print; it is the reason
someone uses the product correctly or incorrectly.

  - No file systems other than exFAT, NTFS and FAT16/FAT32. APFS, HFS+ and ext4
    are not supported. With FAT the cluster chain of deleted files is released:
    contiguous data is read in full, fragmented data is marked as incomplete.
  - No physically damaged media. A drive that can no longer be read reliably
    belongs in a lab.
  - No bypassing of encryption.
  - No repair of arbitrary damaged individual files.
  - Compressed, encrypted and sparse data streams are detected but not offered
    as recoverable.
  - No promised success. Whether a file comes back depends on whether it is
    still untouched on the medium.

  ! Two open verification gaps we name ourselves
    The Windows build is currently unsigned and has not yet been tested by us
    on real Windows hardware. And the NTFS reader is so far proven against a
    purpose-built NTFS image, not against a volume formatted by Windows.

06 / Media · Imagery and plain-text version for download
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The press kit contains the product mark, the app icon, four screenshots of the
macOS app in German, English, French and Spanish, and the text of this page as
a plain text file in the same four languages. No request is needed.

The screenshots show the macOS app in version 0.7.5, rendered on 16 September
2026 directly from the program window of the shipping app, without the window
frame. Which version is currently shipping is stated on the releases page; the
interface can change with a new release.

    Recovery Hero, online and in print.
  - The product mark is not altered: not recoloured, not distorted, not built
    into another mark.
  - The screenshots show the interface with synthetic data. They contain no
    customer data and no real recovered files.
  - The text files in the kit reproduce this page. Where they differ, this page
    applies.
  - Every file is listed with its size and SHA-256, so you can check that the
    kit is unmodified.
