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.”
RG

“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.”

“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.”

Pros

“It can make adjustments from the most miniscule changes to the most extreme and everything in between. If you can learn the software, it will be a gamechanger for your photography”

“Delivers what it promises and what I need to get photos culled, edited, and exported to spec.”

“For the desktop version, even on my strong PC, Lightroom Classic sometimes slows down when I change modules or start a large export.”

Tabarak A.

Graphic Designer

Cons

“The editing tools stay quite limited compared to professional software like Lightroom, which is not suitable for serious post-production work on my photos.”

“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!)”

Cons

“I don't love the mobile app as much as editing from my desktop.”

Joe G.

CEO

“This is used for all my content gathering at work, however, the CyberLink software which came bundled with my camera package was just plain horrible.”

“Sometimes the app crashes a lot and takes a long time to respond, and I've often lost an entire edit because the app crashed and didn't save what I'd already done.”
