Fotor started as an online photo editor and has grown into a combined photo editing and graphic design tool. It’s a good fit for designs that start with a photo — product shots, portraits, collages, posters and social images — rather than purely typographic or vector work.
Its main tools include:
- AI photo enhancer, upscaler, background remover and object remover
- Text-to-image generation, AI image extender and AI avatars
- Artistic effects such as cartoon, anime, sketch and watercolor
- Collage, flyer, poster and logo makers with templates
- Batch editing for many photos at once
- AI video generation and enhancement
Fotor works in the browser and has apps for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android. The free Basic plan covers core editing and design features with daily AI credits, though some downloads are lower resolution or watermarked. Fotor Pro costs about $8.99 per month and adds advanced editing and AI tools, premium templates, batch editing and high-resolution downloads. Pro+ costs about $19.99 per month and adds commercial-use stock photos, custom fonts and multiple brand kits. Plans and credit limits can vary by region, so check current pricing.
Fotor’s design templates are less extensive than Canva’s, and many effects sit behind the paywall. For photo-based designs with quick AI fixes, though, it’s a capable, affordable option.
