The preset filters and effects let you get a nice result in a few clicks, without going through a heavier software. #### 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. --- ### good and bad experience - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Blake l. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Graphic Design - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: April 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Good value, lots of good templates and user friendly. Especially good for social media - YouTube thumbnails, Instagram posts etc. #### Cons Not much to dislike, AI image generator not great. #### Reasons for choosing Fotor I actually use this as well as Canva.

Great app that can definitely be made much better. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros I’m really surprised at the capabilities of this little app. The panel is packed with tons of capabilities. The ability to customize the home panel with most frequently used tasks is handy. #### Cons It’s made for the iphone and hasn’t yet been programmed for the ipad. So when you use it, it’s only a small iphone panel in the middle of the screen. As a result it’s hard to see the image you’re working on. The GUI could be a little better with shortcut something to make undo etc, more seamless. It would be also better if another payment option could be added. Subscriptions are a pain, honestly, so a perpetual liscense purchase would be really great. #### Reasons for choosing Fotor Suite of capabilities. I didn’t. It’s a companion app to my main products. --- ### Seriously going to blow your mind! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: brittany c. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Design - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

That sucks. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The Ai Affects have blown me away!

I use this software daily and chose it for the amount of options offered and the cost #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Very easy to use, many options to make your photos stand out and look very professional #### Cons many of the options they offer for photo edits and AI use cost an additional fee on top of the subscription fee #### Reasons for switching to Fotor Cost of Corel suite was outrageous and only seemed to use the photo paint --- ### Not worth it - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Photography - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used monthly for free trial - Reviewed: March 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered My experience has been one of the most disappointing I've ever had with an online service. The editing tools themselves were not as advertised. Even at "Pro" it required additional payments. It's too expensive for the quality and services this offers. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 1/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros Nothing. Their advertisement is great - it shows everything without disclosing all the additional hidden costs. #### Cons Quality is disappointing. I attempted to enlarge some images and when printed, the quality was disappointing. Shutterfly ended up fixing it. Their billing is also confusing; merchant name didn't even match. I signed up for a "7-day free trial" but was billed on the sixth day for a year for a much higher price than that on their website. Lastly, their customer service is impersonal. I was offered a half refund, which shows me whoever is running their billing is aware there are issues. --- ### Relatively easy to use - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jay O. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Hospitality - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for free trial - Reviewed: March 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I am only playing around at this point, but did decide to try to use AI to build a copy of my own body and then change it to what I want me (the real me) to look like in a year. It has taken several different AI systems to accomplish this, and Fotor is what I have used to make quick and minor adjustments. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It is easy to use and intuitive. Everything is done with easy to use buttons as opposed to an AI prompt. Personally, I enjoy the prompts, but there are, I am sure times when I will want something to be easy. #### Cons I have ran across a few minor irritations. When you ask the AI to open the eyes, they end up looking in a strange direction, or just plain strange. The presets for the smiles and facial expressions are limited, and the hairstyles for me suck. --- ### Great Image Creator - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Elizabeth N. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Animation - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: July 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

I love this program. Thank you.I understand how exciting it can be to create images and transform them into videos. It’s such a rewarding experience! I'm truly grateful for this program and all the joy it brings.

No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Fotor is awesome. What makes it so unlike any other ai app, is that you can get credits easily and it's always free to comment on other people and to join an event. I wish there were more free ways to earn credits, but it's okay. I also love that Fotor lets me edit photos and a whole lot more! Fotor is also really safe for kids and you barley ever get made fun of. #### Cons i wish I could get more credits easily for free. It would also be really nice if the text to videos didn't cost as much as they do now. --- ### first review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Robert S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Fine Art - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: July 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered very good to date. I am now 76, and still learning about AI and all its uses. I do find that the layout and explanations are easy to understand. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Very fast results.

No incentive was offered Love it. A minor few weeks could go far though. Prices is something always complained about but there could be some easying on that. I would suggest you fully incorporate Fotor and Fotor Clipfly together. It would make the whole experience more interesting. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I love the easy way to create. The variety is good but more is always better. I love the way I can create a video of a memory. #### Cons The Ai clothes needs alot more variety to choose from or at least an indication place where you say "funky" or "red carpet" etc. Then it autocreates that look. Prices are always a problem --- ### About the user experience with FOTOR - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: junichi k. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Internet - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for free trial - Reviewed: April 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered It offers a wide range of features and is easy to use thanks to its web-based design. However, credits tend to be consumed quickly, and since the results can vary even with the same prompt, I think it would be better if credits were only deducted after confirming that the result is satisfactory. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros When compared to GPT (ChatGPT), places with fewer restrictions generally fall into these categories: #### Cons A point to note is that credit consumption tends to be faster.Since the results can vary even with the same prompt, I would prefer if credits were not consumed when executing the prompt, but only when I confirm and approve the final result. --- ### Rajnesh kumar - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Rajnesh K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Accounting - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for free trial - Reviewed: July 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

Response time is very quick the pixel quality photos is also very good. #### Cons Frequent ads. It should allow download of the improved photos more frequently.

No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 1/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 1/5 #### Pros Hard to say, really. My brief experience was overshadowed by poor customer service and no flexibility. #### Cons I signed up for a trial and forgot to cancel before it ended, something that’s happened to me a few times over the years with other services. In every other case, companies were more than happy to issue a refund when I explained the situation, especially since I hadn’t used the service after the first day. Fotor, however, was the first company I’ve dealt with that flat-out refused. Despite canceling immediately after realizing the charge, they pointed me to their policy and offered no flexibility or goodwill. The response felt cold and dismissive, and I walked away with the clear sense that customer satisfaction is not a priority here. If you’re considering signing up, be aware that they strictly enforce their policy with no room for genuine mistakes, even when the service goes unused. I won’t be returning, and I wouldn’t recommend Fotor based on this experience. --- ### very new to the site - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: april k. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Human Resources - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for free trial - Reviewed: February 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.
