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. --- ### Fotor: The quick AI-powered photo editing tool - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Design - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: 3-5 years · weekly - Reviewed: July 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros 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. Its automated AI enhancement modules allow correcting exposure, smoothing details, or applying stylized filters in a single click without requiring advanced post-processing skills. #### Cons Fotor remains far too superficial. the free version is saturated with aggressive banner ads, and high-resolution export options quickly mandate upgrading to the paid tier. --- ### Charged for a Service I Never Used - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Entertainment - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: a free trial · daily - Reviewed: June 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered 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. Charging a customer for a service they will never use simply because they missed a cancellation deadline by a single day feels unreasonable and customer-unfriendly. Companies that value long term customer relationships understand that mistakes happen and that common sense should prevail in situations like this. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here. If you're considering subscribing, be aware that if your renewal slips through, even by a day, you may find very little willingness to work with you. Based on my experience, money appears to be more important to them than treating customers fairly. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 1/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 1/5 #### Pros I don't have much positive to say about Fotor. Their app looked pretty good but I can't get passed their shady business practices. #### Cons I am extremely disappointed with this company's customer service and billing practices. I contacted them immediately after my annual subscription renewed and explained that I did not intend to renew and would not be using the service at all. The renewal had occurred just one day earlier, yet they refused to provide a refund. --- ### Netter Zeitvertreib - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Animation - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: less than 1 year · daily - Reviewed: July 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Die einfache Handhabung, Text einfügen und bach wenigen Minuten wird ein Bild generiert #### Cons Die Textvorgaben werden leider nur ungenau umgesetzt --- ### Great generator for the money. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Arts and Crafts - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: 3-5 years · weekly - Reviewed: May 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I play with many different AI generators. Fotor is still strong on my list of choices. I love seeing what the same prompt will achieve in different styles and generators. Just good fun #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Fotor has improved many aspects for creating. There are more choices for styles and different AI creators. I still prefer the original format though. It’s still a great app for the price. You have a choice of different levels according to what you want to spend #### Cons You can’t save images in bulk and you can’t save image’s with the prompt. I do screenshots if I want both --- ### Pratiques commerciales malhonnêtes et service client déplorable - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: E-Learning - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: less than 1 year · monthly - Reviewed: March 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Client depuis un an, j'ai été débité pour un renouvellement non souhaité. Malgré un contact immédiat avec le support, on m'a opposé une réponse robotique citant leurs conditions générales pour refuser de me rendre mon argent. C'est inadmissible pour un service numérique en 2026. Ils préfèrent voler une année d'abonnement à un client plutôt que d'avoir un geste commercial basique. Je ne recommande absolument pas. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 1/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 1/5 #### Pros Le logiciel est fonctionnel pour de la retouche basique, mais ses qualités techniques sont totalement éclipsées par des méthodes commerciales douteuses et un service client rigide. #### Cons Politique de remboursement inexistante et malhonnête. Ils pratiquent le renouvellement automatique "piège" et refusent tout remboursement, même si la demande est faite moins de 24h après le prélèvement et que le service n'a pas été utilisé. C'est une méthode de rétention forcée qui manque totalement d'éthique. --- ### Not worth it - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Photography - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: a free trial · monthly - 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. --- ### Disappointing service and very poor refund policy - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Civil Engineering - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: a free trial · daily - Reviewed: March 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered My overall experience was very disappointing. I tried the free version first and decided to test the paid subscription, but the paid features did not provide the value I expected. After realizing this, I cancelled the subscription almost immediately. Despite this, the company refused to issue a refund. The platform may work for very basic editing, but the pricing and subscription policy feel unfair and not consumer-friendly. I would strongly recommend that users read the terms very carefully before subscribing. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The interface is simple and easy to understand for basic editing and your can use with different options. #### Cons The paid version does not deliver the value it promises. Many features feel limited or similar to the free version. The biggest issue is the subscription model, which automatically renews after a trial and makes refunds extremely difficult even if the service does not meet expectations. --- ### Ouvert pour tous le monde sans trop de formation - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Design - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: 1-3 years · weekly - Reviewed: January 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

L’outil reste fluide et agréable à utiliser. --- ### Quick visuals - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Restaurants - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: 1-3 years · weekly - Reviewed: January 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Fotor is an easy-to-use tool for quickly creating and sharing visuals. It helps save time when producing or editing images and sharing them with the team without having to rely on additional tools. --- ### Game project assets generation - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Graphic Design - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: less than 1 year · weekly - Reviewed: July 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

Hope to expand more your credits in common subscription. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It can generate assets for my project games. It can generate 2d images exactly need for 2d game project. Also an offer to community to generate a chance of passive income #### Cons Kinda difficult to generate sprite sheets of any characters/object. This part needs more improvement still characters are clear. which gives me loss of credit for not proper output of images in this part only. --- ### New & improved Fotor app - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Animation - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: 3-5 years · daily - Reviewed: August 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

The UI improved, so it's now easier to use and more organized. #### Cons The cost has increased. There is not enough warning or documentation, such as a tutorial, before new features are added. --- ### good and bad experience - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: blake l. - Industry: Graphic Design - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: less than 1 year · daily - Reviewed: April 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

No incentive was offered Over all I give it a 7/10. 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. --- ### Seriously going to blow your mind! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Design - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: 1-3 years · daily - Reviewed: January 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. - Industry: Animation - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: less than 1 year · daily - Reviewed: July 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.
