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.”

Pros

“The power of new tools driven by generative artificial intelligence (generative fill, object removal) enables complex retouching work in record time”

Romain G.

Freelance Photographer

“Furthermore, having used tools like the Magic Eraser long before mobile devices popularized automated background removal, the platform's ability to seamlessly isolate, mask, and manipulate specific elements of an image remains unmatched in my daily workflow.”

Charlie H.

Owner

“I liked the cutting-edge layer editing, selection precision, and robust masking features, it provides a level of control in image manipulation that is unparalleled.”

Caleb N.

Graphic Designer and Analyst

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.”

Lydia L.

“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

“The biggest drawback of Adobe Photoshop is its rigid lack of mobile optimization and its high hardware performance threshold. While Adobe is clearly attempting to target the smartphone market, the application heavily relies on desktop-class processing power and fails to scale down effectively for lower-spec mobile devices.”

Charlie H.

Owner

“Subscription cost is pretty high, maybe a little too high. And be careful when you subscribe, read the fine prints because if you go for the yearly subscription and cancel before the year is up, they will charge you a massive cancellation fee ($100+).”

Victoria T.

Self-Employed

“Some thing are labelled weirdly, the default keybinds don't always make sense, and sometimes even making a simple retouch can have you go through too many steps for what it is.”
