A Graphic Designer's Best Friend
Since I subscribed to the yearly plan, Fotor has been a part of my daily work routine. I design a lot and I utilize Fotor's many features to make me a more efficient and better designer.
PROSFotor is an inexpensive tool that can greatly enhance any graphic designer's work. I use Fotor alongside other designing tools. The strength of Fotor lies in its AI Tools which you're able to access for a low low price. I love that. A lot of graphic design apps increased their prices excessively when they offered AI editing. Fotor is cheap. They do great images with their Text to Image tool.
CONSI only use Fotor for image editing. I hope it would also offer video design options like Canva someday. But right now, I have no complaints.
Reason for choosing Fotor
The price of Fotor is more competitive considering the number of features it offers.

Fotor actually makes my work weeks easier.
Working with images is one of the most frustrating and time intensive parts of my job, because I'm not a designer. Fotor has made it easier for me. Seems like a bland, simple statement, but a software tool actually making my life easier week after week is a rare and valuable thing. If your photo needs are basic (cropping, resizing, touching up, brightening, etc.) and you don't particularly care to learn deeper photo editing skills, Fotor is an excellent choice. It'll do everything you need, it'll do it quickly, and it won't distract you with anything you don't.
PROSIt has a robust free version, which is what I'm most familiar with. I'm not a designer or photographer, and Fotor has tons of cropping, touch-up, re-sizing, and other web-design-based features built in to make it easy for people like me. I've used other design tools before, but Fotor is one of the best free design tools specifically for photo editing. A major benefit, especially for web designers/developers, is the free version allows for batch image editing. You can upload a full folder of photos, set the editing parameters you want, and Fotor edits every photo. That has saved me more hours than I can count.
CONSWhen it comes to anything "design," Fotor gets a bit weak. Simply adding a text or color overlay rarely worked out for me. More often than not I found myself editing images in Fotor, exporting to another tool like Canva, and then finishing the design from there. However, this isn't too different from how professional-level designers work. Photoshop to InDesign etc. So I don't hold it against them. But it's just good to note that Fotor won't be your go-to web design solution - just a fantastic, free image editing solution.
Reason for choosing Fotor
Fotor is free and super user friendly. I also had no interest in growing my photo editing skills, so keeping it simple worked best for me.
Reasons for switching to Fotor
GIMP is great, a true beast of a free tool. But it was too much for me, and at the time I was working off of a tiny macbook, and GIMP was too hefty to work quickly. If you're interested in expanding your photo editing skillset, Fotor will be too basic. For me, the switch increased productivity.

Impressions of a Dominican amateur writer
The only thing I can say is that it is a pleasant experience, since it allows me to physically see the illustrations that I have in my mind.
PROS1- It makes it easy to create the images that I have in mind 2-It gives you several options in the design and style that I want 3-Gives you several options for created images 4-I love that you can download the images. 5-It gives a chance to create when you don't have money to pay. (I give this two thumbs up).
CONS1-It does not give daily recharges like Generate or Gencraft do. 2-When you already have the image created, do not allow changing the options on the left side of the screen. At least my mouse doesn't allow it.
Reasons for switching to Fotor
I look for other options in case I can't get the images and illustrations I have in mind.

great for craft marketer
very easy to use, intuitive, the AI is tricky when you want to create an image without a particular detail and you have no success trying to edit it out, you do not have control of the outcome - its like a box of chocolates, a surprise with every image.
PROSif you are looking for a program to make digital art at the click of a button then this is a great app, so many filters to play with, all of great quality finish perfect for printing, sublimation and art for digital applications for the less artistic skilled crafter. Art made easy.
CONSI haven't yet worked out if I can increase the dpi of a created image. some images can be repetitive when generating bulk lots of the same image i.e.: a Kingfisher - you can get the same stance of the bird 4 times with a slightly different background. when asking for a cow and a chicken in repetitive pattern the chicken can lose a head or blend into a chicken with cow legs - very creative thinking. this type of image is annoying as it is a waste of time and uses editing credits for an unusable image - or one you have to spend some time correcting.
Reason for choosing Fotor
the quality of the finished image product.

My review of Fotor
I like Fotor, the AI has improved over the time I have used it. I wish they had more templates with it but it does inspire me to use more text for what I want and Ive gotten a little better about it. Keep in mind some of this is on me as I haven't had the time I need to practice with it like I probably should. I do not regret buying the membership though as I have seen improvements in my creations.
PROSEase of use and practicing learning how to work with it.
CONSThe photo editing templates weren't as flexible as I like. I have had more flexibility with a different free software I use.

Very useful
The editing features are superb and I've found them very helpful in my work (book covers, book trailer images, etc.). The AI image generator and replacer are very nice additions, but they don't easily give you the desired result and it's often strenuous and credit-expensive to get what you want. I'm mostly looking for photography, cinematic, and oil-painting realistic images and I understand the difficulty level of what I'm asking, but I'd like to see a bit more efficiency on this level. Of course, I've made some of my most beautiful book covers with the help of Fotor and so, I'm overall quite satisfied with the product. I'd gladly recommend it.
PROSVery easy to use. The editing tools, adjust and effects features fantastic. Erase and background remove tools very useful. AI image generator and replacer are very nice tools.
CONSAI image generator could improve. Sometimes you have to spend more than 100 credits to get a single nice image. Sometimes it's like the AI does not even take the prompt into account. Many errors with faces and hands. Male images usually have beards (even if specifically mentioned they shouldn't in prompt). Same with AI replacer.
Reasons for switching to Fotor
Very expensive and not as many features.

Fotor Review
I use fotor to edit my photos as a producer, and album arts or arts for my instagram, and also arts for my electronic music youtube channel, I use fotor because it's easy, on the web, and sometimes I don't even need to download any photo to include it on the website, and I also like it because it has some possibilities of beautification when I edit my personal photos, like stain remover etc.
PROSThe Fotor application is great, it is an editor with many features and the best, you don't need to download anything, it's easy to use and it's easy to upload photos or use links from the internet itself, without having to download a photo you want to edit. In addition, Fotor even in the free version, does not put a watermark, and saves as quality photos.
CONSWhat I really don't like about the app, is that besides the variety of possibilities of things, there are very few effects available in the free version, for example when I want black and white photos, I can't because fotor does not provide this simple effect for free.
Reasons for switching to Fotor
Especially the beautification part, with some free possibilities.

Scam!
I signed up for the free trial. It did not meet my needs or expectations. I was notified my subscription was expiring. I immediately cancelled. I was subsequently charged $39.99 for the subscription. I filed a dispute with Amex. The dispute was resolved in the company's favor citing "non refundable" I did research online of reviews for this company and discovered hundreds if not more of the same. The company is corrupt.
PROSThere was nothing I liked about the product or the grifters who run the company.

My right hand in photography.
Fotor helps me to make my photographic shots one of the best in my field of work since, with just one click in this application, the image acquires much sharper appearances and with a quality superior to the original, which greatly favors my work as a photographer.
PROSI like fotor because it is an online application; it is very easy to use and has more than 110 filters and effects to modify the images.
CONSI have absolutely nothing negative to mention about this application, because I consider it to be totally efficient.

Fotor - a simple and powerful
There are so many photo editors for advanced photo editing works. Fotor satisfying all our day-to-day editing tasks with a simple and clean UI. Great experience and much Love:
PROSMy overall experience with Fotor is good. It's a pretty decent photo editor with cloud-based availability. The beauty of Fotor is even beginners also can work without major editing skills. There are thousands of predefined templates available on Fotor, and we can take them to the next level with our creativity. 'Fotor' easily fulfills all our designing tasks for our personal needs, and we can create pro-type edits with just easy steps.
CONSIt delivers what it is capable of. Nothing to complain about Fotor. Need some improvements and features on the iOS application.

Amazing product both on the computer and Android phone
Fotor is an amazing app and Windows software and I still can't believe it's free. Highly recommend!
PROSI love love love fotor! There are so many great things about it but I'm going to review the Android app. They not only have ways to edit photos but they have regular collages and magazine type collages.
CONSThe only thing I didn't like is that it needs 800x800 to work, so some of my photos on my phone don't meet that criteria. So I can't edit some of my photos using fotor without probably taking a screenshot of it and maybe that will be the correct file size.

Fotor does not have the background removal tools as advertised
It does not have the basic background removal tools as advertised, yet there is a pretence that the tool does exist. The Fotor help centre and link shows a different photo-editing software than the one I bought and paid for. It does have the background removal tool, so how does that make any sense?
PROSI have only used it a short time for photo editing but it does not have the main feature to remove background. I contacted support and they sent a link telling me to edit off that link. The link did have the background removal tool. But it was full of ads and would not let you download the edited photo without purchasing the product again. Plus how can a person edit hundreds of photos from an email link?
CONSI did not like the fact it took so much time looking for a tool that is not there
