CHK files are created by the Chkdisk disk error checking and fixing utility, and they may contain bits of data useful for file recovery purposes, or even entire recoverable files. CHK File Recovery is a handy and neat tool that lets you load CHK files, see if they contain any useful, recoverable data, and if that's the case, restore those files. As long as they're in recoverable form, CHK File Recovery can extract many different types of files from the CHK ones, including audio ones (MP3, WAV, WMA, etc.), videos (AVI, MOV, etc.), spreadsheets, documents, archives, images (PNG, BMP, GIF, etc.), and so on. Briefly, CHK File Recovery can handle more than 180 file types.

Another cool thing about CHK File Recovery is the fact that it provides two file detection modes: an automatic one that identifies the recoverable files and their types without user intervention, and a manual one, meant to be used when the first one fails to detect the recoverable data. The manual one allows the users to determine the file type using header analysis in formats like HEX, Unicode, or UTF-8.

CHK File Recovery is also pretty simple to use. Its interface is neat and straightforward, without any complicated aspects.

To sum it all up, CHK File Recovery is a good choice for anyone in need to use CHK files in their attempts to recover lost data. It's an easy-to-use tool that also comes with a reasonable price.
