NIKON IMAGE SPACE · WINDOWS 11
Photo Archive Rescue helps you understand, organise and safely copy the photos, supported RAW files and videos you have already downloaded from NIKON IMAGE SPACE. Everything happens on your Windows PC, it never needs access to your Nikon account, and your original download stays untouched.

WHAT IT IS
Photo Archive Rescue is a Windows 11 desktop application from Capsa Nigra that helps you review, organise, copy and check large photo and video archives while keeping the original files unchanged.
For NIKON IMAGE SPACE users, it works with files you have already downloaded from Nikon. It does not require access to your Nikon account.
HOW IT WORKS
Your original downloaded files are never changed.
Use Nikon’s own service while it is available, then keep every downloaded file somewhere safe.
Choose one downloaded ZIP file or extracted folder on your Windows PC.
See photos, supported RAW files, videos, available photo information and anything that needs attention.
Create an organised copy in a separate destination, then check that every expected file arrived.
WHY PHOTO ARCHIVE RESCUE?
See photos, supported RAW files, videos, folders and counts in one clear view.
See which files are genuinely identical without Photo Archive Rescue deleting anything automatically.
Find unreadable, unsupported, incomplete or unusual files that need your attention.
See available dates, dimensions, camera and lens details, exposure information and location data.
Preview and create a separate copy using a folder structure that makes sense to you.
Confirm that every planned file reached the destination with the expected size and matching content.
PRIVACY AND CONTROL
Archive analysis is local. Paid licence activation uses Lemon Squeezy, but licence requests do not include your photos, videos, filenames or photo information. Read the privacy policy.
Your photos do not need to be uploaded to Capsa Nigra for archive analysis.
Photo Archive Rescue reads the archive you select but does not rewrite, rename or delete it.
You download your archive directly from Nikon. Photo Archive Rescue never needs access to your Nikon account.
The copy contains ordinary photo, video and supported RAW files for the storage or photo software you choose.
THE REAL APPLICATION
Start with the archive you downloaded. Review it at your own pace, keep the original untouched and choose where any new organised copy belongs.
