How Can I Recover SD Card Data Using Disk Utility on Mac

So a few weeks ago, I accidentally formatted my 64GB SanDisk card without backing up my data, thus deleting the data. Please tell me how to recover my data using the built-in Disk Utility app.

Can you recover SD card data using Disk Utility on macOS Sonoma? The answer is no. Disk Utility is a built-in program that can encrypt the storage devices, create a disk image of your files, and change the file system, such as APFS or HFS+ on Mac.

Besides, it can help you:

Manage, erase, or format both internal and external storage devices
Diagnose and solve the problems of a disk or corrupted volumes
Format, erase, eject, or partition a drive on Mac

But the Disk Utility can't make a recovery on a formatted partition on your Mac. The first aid feature in Disk Utility is to diagnose the disk error and repair your disk.

However, it's possible to recover the formatted SD card data on your Mac. EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard for Mac is a powerful and effective data recovery tool.
