CardRaider comes in two versions: Demo (Trial) and Full.
​
The Demo can be downloaded for free and has a 7-day trial period after which it stops functioning. The free download linked on our webpage and the downloads linked from other websites (eg. VersionTracker, MacUpdate) are demos.
​
After purchase, users need to download and install the full version of their purchased software. Instructions for doing this are automatically sent via email.
​

The demo version works just like the full version, but will only recover a thumbnail version of your photos and cannot permanently erase data. You have to buy the full version to save full-sized images.
