Fotor is a photo editor first, which makes it a good fit for Zoom backgrounds built around photos — your real office, a storefront, a scenic view or a product display. Start from a ready-sized virtual background template, or use Fotor’s AI to generate a custom scene, then polish it with its editing tools.
Key features include:
- Ready-sized Zoom and virtual background templates
- Text-to-image AI generation for custom scenes
- AI photo enhancer and upscaler for sharp, full-screen images
- Background and object remover
- Filters, effects and blur tools
- Apps for web, Windows, Mac, iOS and Android
Fotor’s upscaler is especially useful for backgrounds, which need large, sharp images to look good on screen.
The free Basic plan covers core editing and design with daily AI credits, though some downloads are lower resolution or watermarked. Fotor Pro costs about $8.99 per month and adds premium templates, advanced AI tools, 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. Prices can vary by region.
Fotor’s Zoom template range is smaller than Canva’s, and it lacks team rollout tools. For photo-led virtual backgrounds, though, it’s a capable, affordable choice.
