When you delete files from an SD card, they aren't immediately erased; the space they occupied is just marked as available. As long as you haven't saved new data to the card, there's a very high chance you can recover your photos.
First and Most Important Step:
Stop using the SD card immediately. Take it out of your Mac. Every moment the card is in use increases the risk of your deleted photos being overwritten for good.
Here is a simple, safe, and effective way to get your photos back for free.

- Why it's a good choice: It can fix the underlying problem that made the files "disappear."
- The "Free" Part: It's 100% free and open-source.
- The Catch for Beginners: It is a command-line tool and is considered very technical.
