How to Retrieve Photos from an iPad Without a Backup

There are numerous reasons that can lead to the loss of photos on your iPad. According to feedback from our users, the two major ones are restoring the device to its factory settings and accidentally deleting photos from the iPad. Usually, they lose their photos without any backup, which frustrates them a lot since they assume it's impossible to retrieve photos from an iPad without a backup. Is that true?

Undoubtedly, you can restore iPad photos from iTunes or iCloud backup. Actually, you can still recover photos from iPad or recover deleted photos from iPad without backup after restoration. Why?
