Accidentally delete the GIF files? Click "Delete" in the Recycle Bin instead of "Restore"? After reading this passage, these deletion issues will not bother you anymore.

Let's start with the first plan - apply professional photo recovery software.

Plan A. Recover Deleted GIF Images with Photo Recovery Software

Before finding a proper GIF recovery tool and starting data recovery, you should stop using the storage device right now. Why? Writing new data on the storage device will lead to data being overwritten and lower the success rate of GIF recovery.

EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard should be your perfect choice after accidentally deleting .gif files on any device. You can install this software on a Windows or Mac computer and scan the hard disk or other storage devices.

This software supports GIF recovery and can recover deleted photos from hard disks, SD cards, USB flash drives, and external hard drives. You can also recover other image files while recovering the deleted GIF images.

Here's a helpful guide that can teach you how to use EaseUS GIF recovery software and make GIF recovery easier:

Step 1. On the home page of the EaseUS GIF recovery tool, you should select a disk to scan. (Select the disk that you have deleted the GIFs.)

Step 2. Select the Pictures box to show the deleted GIF on the right side. You can wait for the quick scan to accomplish or filter the images during the scan process. Select the folder named "gif" and view all the deleted .gif images.

Step 3. Double-click the target GIF image, and a new window will show up. You can preview all the GIF images in this window, and select the photo you want to save, click "Recover".

Plan B. Restore Deleted GIF Photos from Windows Recycle Bin

When you decide to remove GIF images from the computer, you may select and right-click on delete to move them away. These images will disappear from the original folder and show up in the Windows Recycle Bin folder.

Check the tutorial to restore deleted GIF images in the Recycle Bin:

Step 1. Where is the Recycle Bin in Windows 10 or 11? You can easily find a trash icon on the Windows desktop. Check the following picture and open the Recycle Bin on your computer.

Step 2. The recently deleted GIF images and other unwanted files are all stored in the Recycle Bin. Right-click the target GIF file and choose "Restore" to move it to its original location.  

✨Note: If your computer has enough space, do not click the "Empty" button in Recycle Bin because that will permanently delete the files. You'll need professional Recycle Bin recovery software to retrieve data from an emptied Recycle Bin.

Plan C. Restore GIF Files with Windows File History

Restoring GIF files with Windows File History is also a clever solution. This built-in utility is an automatic backup tool that can help you back up some personal files on the computer. You need an external storage device to store the copied files to enable File History in Windows.

Check the following guide and restore deleted GIFs from File History backups:

Step 1. Use the Windows search tab to open File History.

Step 2. In the new windows, check the left panel and select "Restore personal files". The arrow next to the recover button can help you check the previous versions.

Step 3. Then, you should find the right version and folder to re-locate the deleted GIF images. After selecting the GIF image, click the restore button.
