First, a firm answer to your question is yes. Of course, it is possible to recover files from a formatted drive with a graphic tool. Given that you have tried TestDisk but failed, I recommend the EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, which is reliable and powerful in data recovery field. This software is designed to rescue files, documents, photos, videos, and more types of data from the formatted hard drive with 18 years of experience, from which you can tell it is professional.

And all you have to do to recover your files is only three steps.

Step 1. Launch EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, select the hard drive you have accidentally formatted, and click 'Scan'.

Step 2. EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard software automatically scans for all your lost files stored in this formatted hard drive. After the scanning, choose to use the filter to filter specific file types or not.

Step 3. Preview the files to check if they are the ones you want, after which you can click 'Recover', choose a safe location, and click 'OK' to save them.

Note: Better to install EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard software on another hard drive than the formatted one.

After enlightening you on specific steps, there is more you should know about why it is possible to recover a formatted hard drive. When a hard drive has been formatted, all the existing files have been erased, but it does not mean that all the files are overwritten or removed completely. The location has just been reorganized, and they still can be read by most data recovery tools.

However, whether or not the files can be recovered successfully depends on several factors, such as the type of format and the time when the drive is formatted. And the most effective way to avoid data loss due to formatting is to keep a good data backup habit so that you can restore your lost data quickly.
