Is it possible to recover overwritten videos from an SD card?

How big is the data that overwrites the videos?

If it's much larger than your overwritten videos, there's little chance for you to recover them. Even if you manage to retrieve the videos, they are likely corrupted and can't be played.

However, if the newer files are way smaller than the overwritten videos, you have a better chance to get them back, at least part of the video files.

What you should do now is to stop saving any data to the SD card to avoid further overwriting the video files and employ a professional SD card recovery tool.

A powerful SD card recovery software like iBoysoft Data Recovery can boost the recovery rate of your overwritten videos. It's optimized to recover deleted, lost, corrupted, inaccessible, or formatted videos, images, documents, etc, from overwritten SD cards and other storage devices.

Now, insert the SD card into your computer to start recovery. Use an external card reader if needed.

Important: Don't save the recovered videos to the overwritten SD card. Choose a different location.
