Question Photo recovery resolution problems S9

[WeAreZebras5]

Long story short I bunch of photos of mine were deleted off my Samsung Galaxy S9. I didn't have the trash setting on so I ran a disk level undelete and recovered them but now they're all in 320x240. Is this because of the program (diskdigger) and if so, is there a better one. Or is this just a space saving function to butcher the resolution when you delete files? Anything to help recover my trip photos as they were before would be greatly appreciated

Ok so research has led me to believe I'm recovering the thumbnails not the images themselves, does anyone know how to get the actual images instead

What you've undeleted are some thumbnails, not your original photos. Keep searching...

Do you have any advice for how to bring back the actual photos, all the software I've tried off the app store can only find thumbnails?

If you ever accidentally delete your photos, make sure not to write or download anything on the phone as it will tremendously reduce the chances of recovery. So, just don't use the phone. Also, do make backups, specially when you are going to update your phone!

What you can do is:

make sure phone is rooted
buy or download a tool called disk digger pro
it's the most trusted android recovery app
you can get it for free from TPB, if you want
run a full scan, not basic
and choose recovery location to micro sd card if possible
(i'm guessing data is lost from the phone memory)

This is the easy way to do it. I tried a lot of apps but most of them turned out to be a failure, but i had filled up almost half of my phone storage by then, so i can't tell how well they work. Unfortunately i ended up losing most, if not all of my data.

don't worry about this, i got the same issue as yours. I searched on Google Play and I found many apps that can do photo recovery on Android devices. To save you time, I recommend using FindMyPhoto, not only because it's completely free, but also for that it does recover many photos easily.
