Fotor is a multi-platform photo editing software.[3] It was first launched in 2012 and was dubbed "Photoshop Lite" by the BBC.[4]

Fotor's software is available on mobile devices, desktop computers, and online as a web app.[5] It offers a suite of image editing tools and features for users to edit and enhance photos quickly and easily. Fotor One-Tap Photo Enhancer is a tool that is designed to automatically improve image quality and fix common imaging problems.[6][7] Fotor GoArt is a tool to turn photos into classical painting style artwork.[8] Fotor AI Background Remover is a tool that allows users to remove backgrounds from their images with one click.[9] Fotor AI Image Generator is a tool that lets users make art with words.[10]

History

Founded in 2012,[11] Fotor Photo Editor can be used online[12] or downloaded as a free mobile and computer application[13] compatible with Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS.[14] It is used to adjust and alter images, both photographic and non-photographic.[15][16][17] As of 2014, the apps were supported in fourteen languages.[18]

In addition to basic photo editing tools such as cropping,[19] red eye removal,[20][21] the use of stickers and overlays,[22] photo unblurring,[23] and aperture addition,[21] Fotor can also be used for graphic design and collage making.[20] Though the initial app is free, some options are only available through an in-app purchase,[21] or via the Fotor Pro version.[12] Fotor also has a module dedicated to making collages and smart templates with support for image layers.[24][25]

In 2016, Fotor updated its HDR curves adjustment to its platform.[21]

In late 2017, Fotor added a custom aspect ratio option to its collage function and altered its tilt-shift algorithm.[26]

In 2018, Fotor Launched PxBee that entered the stock photo industry.[27]

In 2022, Fotor added an AI Image Generator to its platform, which allows users to create images from text.[28]
