Pros

“I like that it positions the background image for you and it operates in layers.”

David B.

Creative manager

“A little manual, it doesn't automatically get it right”

David B.

Creative manager

“I like how you can easily create a very simple banner using Creatopy(formerly Bannersnack), but very limited to complex animation.”

Freo B.

Founder

Pros

“Its automated AI enhancement modules allow correcting exposure, smoothing details, or applying stylized filters in a single click without requiring advanced post-processing skills.”

Romain G.

Freelance Photographer

“I use Fotor primarily on my smartphone or as a light web version when I need to quickly edit studio ambiance photos for immediate posting.”

Romain G.

Freelance Photographer

“I create images with AI, to create both serious article and satirical ones, and Fotor perfectly reads the tone of my prompt and delivers what I need.”

Cons

“The software pricing is not favorable enough for smaller businesses to use the tool”

Gabriel O.

E-Banking Channels

“Unfortunately, the image is present at the start of the slide even if the layer is not set to operate until further into the slide transition. ”

Phil M.

Online Business Owner

“The redirect links to Bannersnack are confusing and sometimes not working. If this is how they treat paying customers, then I can't recommend this product to any agencies, graphic designers or anyone.”

Evan T.

Designer and Ads Specialist

Cons

“What made the experience even worse was that instead of showing any flexibility or goodwill, they tried to negotiate a partial refund and suggested I should pay for part of the year despite not planning to use the service whatsoever.”

Eric M.

Director of Creativity

“I chose a rating of 4 stars, rather than 3, as the PROS outweighed the CONS, but I definitely feel this app is BEST FOR VIDEO CREATION (in which I do not feel ready to learn quite yet... and the credits needed would take time to save up without a real subscription), while it has definitely caused me some frustration in generating IMAGES. Since I haven't yet had the chance or funds to try the Video Generation Features yet, I can only speak of IMAGE GENERATION!)”
