The SD Memory Card Formatter for Mac formats SD Memory Card, SDHC Memory Card, and SDXC Memory Card (respectively SD/SDHC/SDXC Cards) complying with the SD File System Specification created by the SD Association (SDA).

SD Card Formatter tool for Formatting, Wiping, and Repairing SD Cards! Check out now!

It is strongly recommended to use the SD Memory Card Formatter for macOS to format SD/SDHC/SDXC Cards rather than using formatting tools provided with individual operating systems.

In general, formatting tools provided with operating systems can format various storage media including SD/SDHC/SDXC Cards, but it may not be optimized for SD/SDHC/SDXC Cards and it may result in lower performance.

SD/SDHC/SDXC Cards have a “Protected Area” for SD Card security purposes. The SD Memory CardFormatter does not format the protected area in the SD/SDHC/SDXC Cards.

The protected area shall be formatted by an appropriate Mac application or SD host devices that provide SD security function.

The tool doesn't support SD/SDHC/SDXC Card encrypted by the “BitLocker To Go" functionality of Mac. Please format the SD/SDHC/SDXC Card after it has been unlocked.

How to Use
  • Install the app by dragging it to Applications folder

  • Open the SD Memory Card Formatter
  • Select the card from the drive list
  • Choose formatting option: Quick or Overwrite

  • Wait for the process to complete
  • Eject the card safely after formatting
