SD Card Formatter For Mac

SD Card Formatter (formerly known as SDFormatter) offers you the possibility to format Secure Digital (SD), High Capacity (SDHC), and eXtended Capacity (SDXC) memory cards in no time.

The app automatically detects the SD cards connected to your Mac, and can also overwrite and erase the data so that it cannot be retrieved.

SD Card Formatter's user interface is represented by a single window where you can configure and monitor the formatting process. Right off the bat, you must start by selecting the SD card you want to clean up.

As soon as you connect the card to your Mac, SD Card Formatter detects its presence and adds an entry to the Select Card drop down menu. Here you can see the SD card’s capacity and the standard that is using.

All you have to do next is specify the formatting method: quick or overwrite. In the first instance, the card is formatted without erasing the data, so you can use third party tools to retrieve it if necessary.

On the other hand, if you opt for the overwrite method, the data retrieval will not be possible, and the process will take longer.

SD Card Formatter also provides support for logical address adjustment. Note that SD Card Formatter will not format the Protected Area usually included on SD cards.

To complete the process, give a name for your card and just press the Format button. You get to monitor the progress in the SD Card Formatter main window and receive a confirmation message when everything is done.

To conclude, SD Card Formatter provides a streamlined and intuitive solution for erasing and formatting SD memory cards that use different standards.

Given the intuitive user interface and limited customization options, SD Card Formatter should not raise any issues even to inexperienced users.
