Repair SD Card to Save Your Memories
SD cards are often used to store precious memories such as family photos, holiday videos, and special events, making them an important part of everyday life. Unfortunately, these cards can become unplayable for several reasons, including physical wear from frequent use, file system errors, corruption caused by improper removal, or exposure to heat, moisture, and dust. Over time, memory cells also degrade, leading to inaccessible files. Trying to fix these issues yourself can make matters worse, resulting in permanent data loss. That’s why it’s best to trust a professional repair company like Supaphoto with the tools and expertise to recover your data safely.
We can repair your SD to recover those memories. We make no promises but on average. we are successful!

Don’t Just Take our Word For it...
Don’t Just Take our Word For it...
There’s something special about rediscovering old digital photos, videos, and files from years gone by. Maybe it’s the holiday pictures you thought were lost forever, the first clips from your old digital camera, or cherished family photos saved on an old memory stick. Every file is a snapshot of the people, places, and moments that shaped your life.
But even digital memories can fade. USB sticks, SD cards, and other storage media weren’t built to last forever. Over time, they can fail, become unreadable, or simply get left behind by newer technology.
That’s where Supaphoto comes in. We specialise in bringing lost or inaccessible digital memories back to life. Our storage media to digital conversion service helps you recover, preserve, and access files from old USB sticks, SD cards, and memory drives — so you can view, share, and protect them for years to come.
At Supaphoto, our expert technicians use advanced recovery tools and professional data transfer systems to safely extract your files. Whether you’ve got photos from a long-forgotten holiday, videos from an early camcorder, or important documents trapped on an old drive, we handle each device with care and precision.
Once your data has been recovered and converted, you can access everything easily — through a cloud download link, USB stick, or external hard drive. No more corrupted files or lost folders. Just your digital memories, beautifully preserved and ready to enjoy again.
We don’t just transfer data; we protect stories, milestones, and moments that matter. With Supaphoto, your precious digital history is safe, accessible, and given new life.
Your files deserve better than to stay hidden on an old USB stick or forgotten SD card. Let Supaphoto help you bring them back — securely and beautifully.
Nowadays, it’s easy to forget just how quickly technology changes. Old USB sticks, SD cards, and memory drives can stop working, become corrupted, or no longer fit today’s devices. The time and care that went into capturing those digital memories was priceless, and now it’s just as important to protect them for the future. By converting your storage media to modern digital formats, you can make sure every photo, video, and special moment is safely preserved before your files are lost for good.
If you’d like more information about this service, please read our helpful guide.

Memory Card to DVD Transfers
Rescuing Digital Camera Footage
We know how frustrating it can get when you’ve stored all your data in a secure place – whether it’s a USB stick, or hard drive, or SD card – and it’s so secure you can’t get it off again.
Compact flash memory cards are mini plastic inserts that help you store and transfer digital images and videos. Typically they can store anywhere between whopping amounts of images to a few depending on how big each image is.
There are downsides to this huge capacity though and that’s because it’s so easy to lose the data and it gets damaged in any way. And if this were to happen, it could be hundreds of precious photos rather than a few if it were say a typical photo album.
Sometimes they are tricky to label too. Why? Well the cards are so small and the volume of images so great that you’ll neer do justice to it.
If you’re lucky, your pc or laptop might have a built-in card reader. However, from our experience it’s quite common for the cards to get forgotten or lost. There are lots of things to be on the lookout for. Where did you put that special adaptor? Where’s the camera within which they were inserted? How to unlock a digital camera memory card?
Considering a Memory card to DVD Transfer?
Whatever the answer to these questions, we love to convert photos and videos from memory cards sticks. We can convert them into a variety of formats including digital files or DVDs.
You are probably familiar with SD or secure digital cards. These are commonplace, but then there are microSD cards. Often they are used on mobile phones.
Most computers and laptops now have a slot you can insert this card into, to transfer your photos and videos across, but if yours doesn’t then you can buy an adaptor (it usually plugs into a USB slot) to insert the card into your computer.
If you want to transfer from your digital camera memory card to the computer, you need to make sure to unlock the SD card before using it. There will usually be a switch that you can slide into the ‘unlock’ position.
Video Download
If you’ve checked the switch and find that you’re still having problems finding your photos, it might be that the data is corrupted – this is when you’ll need to call us! It will be easy to play them with your dvd player.
It’s rare (though not impossible) for your photos to be completely lost – storage devices and cards are normally very clever at making sure you don’t accidentally delete things… So when words like ‘video download memory card’ enter your mind, give us a ring! We’d be pleased to help you.

Common Questions
A: A corrupted SD card usually means the data is still present but can’t be accessed properly. The safest way to repair a corrupted SD card is through professional data recovery software and hardware tools that can read damaged file systems. At Supaphoto, our technicians carefully extract your files, repair any corrupted sectors where possible, and transfer your recovered data onto a secure USB or digital download for you.
A: Physical damage to an SD card — like cracks, bent connectors, or water exposure — often requires expert handling. We use specialist diagnostic and recovery equipment to retrieve your files safely. Attempting to repair the card yourself can lead to further data loss. Supaphoto’s SD card repair service focuses on safely recovering photos, videos, and documents, even from cards that appear unreadable.
A: Repairing an SD memory card starts by determining whether the problem is physical or software-related. If it’s a file corruption issue, our recovery tools can restore partitions and rebuild the data structure. For physical faults, we perform detailed assessments to recover data directly from the memory chip. Once recovered, your files are delivered on a USB stick or cloud link for convenience.
A: A completely broken SD card can’t always be repaired in the traditional sense — but the data stored on it can often still be recovered. Using advanced hardware readers, our technicians extract the memory chip from the damaged casing and attempt a direct data recovery. Even if your SD card is cracked or snapped, don’t throw it away — there’s still a good chance we can save your files.
A: Micro SD cards are especially delicate due to their small size. Damage to their connectors or internal circuits can make them unreadable. At Supaphoto, we handle micro SD card repairs and data recovery with precision tools and clean-room equipment to prevent further harm. Once repaired or recovered, we transfer your content to a safe, long-lasting digital format.
A: SanDisk cards are reliable, but like all SD cards, they can fail due to corruption, age, or physical wear. If your computer or camera no longer recognises the card, we can attempt data recovery using specialised hardware readers compatible with SanDisk’s architecture. Supaphoto’s recovery experts handle SanDisk, Lexar, Kingston, and all major SD brands — ensuring your photos, videos, and files are restored wherever possible.
A: The cost depends on the level of damage and the amount of data to be recovered. At Supaphoto, diagnostics are always free, and we’ll give you a clear quote before starting. Simple recovery jobs are often affordable, while complex physical repairs may cost more due to the technical process involved. We always prioritise transparency and data safety.
A: With years of experience in digital media recovery, Supaphoto provides a safe, professional, and discreet service. Whether your SD card is corrupted, unreadable, or physically broken, our team uses industry-leading tools to restore your valuable files. We handle every card with care — ensuring your recovered data is delivered securely and confidentially.
