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.

“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

“I prompt a style of clothing such as an 18th century dress with apron and it produces short mini skirts.”

Sandra H.

Customer

“It is very good at processing images, its web version works in any browser, making it an efficient alternative to Adobe Photoshop and other programs in the category.”

LUIZ D.

Chef

“I use it a lot to convert photos from different formats and high quality to the WEBP format for the websites I develop.”

Divaldo C.

CEO

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 use negative prompts to avoid the constant dismissal of the prompts I'm trying to create and it just keeps reproducing similar images to the ones that do not match my prompts.”

Sandra H.

Customer

“The know they can get at least 1 extra years money out of it. How hard would it be to program an email reminder that you have a renewal upcoming? But they do not care, but cause if they know you are going to cancel anyway, they would rather take the money and leave you pissed off.”

Scott A.

owner

“I have the free version and it is garbage, I wouldn't pay to upgrade since it can't handle the simplest prompts.”
