Website Disclaimer
testdisk.app is an independent, fan-made website that provides information, guides, and download links for TestDisk and related data recovery software. This site exists to help users find, understand, and get started with these tools.
We are not the official website for TestDisk. The official project is maintained by Christophe Grenier at CGSecurity. All product names, logos, brands, and trademarks mentioned on this site are the property of their respective owners. Any use of these names here is strictly for identification and informational purposes and does not imply any form of endorsement or sponsorship.
No Affiliation or Association
testdisk.app is independently operated. We do not represent, speak for, or act on behalf of Christophe Grenier, CGSecurity, or any software developer whose products appear on this site.
All information about TestDisk and other software is gathered from publicly available sources, including official documentation, GitHub repositories, and community forums. We make every effort to keep our content accurate, but for official support, release announcements, or direct inquiries, you should always visit the official CGSecurity website.
If you need help with TestDisk itself – bug reports, feature requests, or technical support – please reach out through the official project channels rather than contacting us.

We do not modify, repackage, bundle, or alter any software files in any way. Since files are hosted on third-party servers, we cannot guarantee their availability or integrity at all times. You should always verify downloads by checking file hashes against those published on the official project page.

TestDisk is a powerful partition recovery tool that operates at a low level on your storage devices. Improper use can result in permanent data loss. Always read the official documentation and understand what a command does before running it.
