Quick verdict
Fotor is an online photo editor and design tool with templates, AI editing tools and AI image and video generation from partner models, on the web, iOS, Android, Mac and Windows. Fotor Basic is free, with basic editing, limited templates, limited free credits for AI tools (no number given), 512MB of storage and ads. Fotor Pro is $8.99 a month, or $39.99 a year paid up front, with 100 credits a month, the full editing suite, 2GB of storage and watermark-free, ad-free downloads. Fotor Pro+ is $19.99 a month, or $89.99 a year paid up front, with 300 credits a month, AI slides, batch background removal, brand kits and 100GB. Fotor Max starts at $39.99 a month, or $191.88 a year paid up front, for 1,000 credits and 500GB, and is sold in sizes up to 50,000 credits at $919.99 a month. Fotor's Terms say fees exclude taxes.
Commercial use depends on the plan and on what you use. Fotor's Commercial Use help says AI-generated images "can be used for both personal and commercial purposes", and on paid plans it covers AI images and videos. On Basic, Fotor's pages disagree: the same help page says free material is only for personal use. Pro may use free and Pro design material commercially, but not Pro+-only material; Pro+ may use all of it. The Terms' commercial license table names Pro and Pro+ only, not the newer Max tier.
The free plan is also unclear on watermarks, which the pricing table marks as not removed on Basic while the lip-sync page calls its results watermark-free. This verdict rests on what Fotor documents, not on our tests, which we have not run yet.
Strengths and limits
Strengths
- Models from several companies in one placeFotor's generators let you pick models from Google, OpenAI, ByteDance, Kuaishou, Black Forest Labs, Midjourney and others. Paid plans list, for example, Nano Banana Pro, GPT Image 2, Midjourney v7 and FLUX.2 Pro for images, and Seedance 2.5, Kling 4.0 and Veo 3.1 for video. Exclusive models are paid only.
- Low entry pricePro costs $8.99 a month or $39.99 a year before tax, with 100 credits a month, the complete editing suite, watermark-free and ad-free downloads, and commercial use of AI images and videos.
- Credits roll overPaid credits are issued monthly, even on annual billing, and unused credits roll over for up to 5 months while your subscription stays active. An image costs 1 to 15 credits depending on the model, and a video clip about 5 to 250.
- Editing and design tools beyond generationFotor lists an object remover, AI replace, retouching, a background remover for files up to 60 MB and 8192 x 8192 px, a 2x or 4x upscaler, a logo maker that exports JPG, transparent PNG or PDF, talking-photo lip sync and a music generator that writes songs with vocals.
- Works on every device and in MCP agentsFotor runs on the web, iOS, Android, Mac and Windows, and a paid membership works on all of them. An official Fotor MCP connector lets Claude and other MCP agents create and edit images and videos.
Limits
- Free plan: commercial use and watermark unclearConflict. Fotor's Commercial Use help says free material is only for personal use, while the same page says AI-generated images can be used commercially. The pricing table marks Watermark-Free as not included on Basic, while the lip-sync page says its free results have no watermark.
- Free credits and downloads are limitedPlan limit. Basic gives limited free credits with no number stated (you earn more by daily sign-in and tasks), 1 concurrent generation, 1 Agent task and 512MB of storage. Free upscaled downloads are 2x low resolution only, and Basic shows ads.
- Max's design-material license not namedUnverified point. The Terms' commercial license table names Pro and Pro+ but not Max, so Max's commercial use rests on the help page for AI output. Pro may not use Pro+-only design material commercially.
- AI slides: Fotor's pages disagreeConflict. The pricing table lists AI slides generation only on Pro+ and Max, while the presentation maker page says you can try the AI slide generator for free. On Pro+ and Max, slides download as PPTX, PDF, JPG or PNG.
- Gaps in what is documentedNot verified. No page we read mentions SVG export, automatic captions, a trim-and-arrange editor for your own footage, voice cloning or stem export, and no training opt-out control is described.
Based on what Everimaging documents for each plan, not on our tests.

A use is listed when at least one plan documents every feature a task needs. Answer quality is a separate question: see below.
Using it day to day
Fotor runs on the web, in iOS and Android apps, and as Mac and Windows desktop apps, and a paid membership works across all of them. Fotor Agent makes videos and images from briefs, media, documents and links, with presets such as Long Video to Shorts; Agent tasks are 1 on Basic, 2 on Pro, 5 on Pro+ and 10 on Max, and Agent chats 50, 2,000, 4,000 and 10,000. Agent message history is kept 7 days on Basic and 1 year on paid plans. Concurrent generations go from 1 on Basic to 10, 30 and 50.
Usage is counted in credits: 100 a month on Pro, 300 on Pro+ and 1,000 to 50,000 on Max. Fotor also sells separate AI-only Credits plans and one-time credit packs. Cloud storage is 512MB on Basic, 2GB on Pro, 100GB on Pro+ and 500GB on Max, and the pricing table lists 100, 200 and 500 project folders on the paid plans. Batch background removal of up to 50 images is Pro+ and Max only. We read the prices from outside the US; Fotor's plan data lists US dollars as the plan currency.
Privacy, data and ads
Fotor's privacy policy says it generally does not use your AI inputs and outputs unless you post them to the community, and that it does not use face data for training. No opt-out control is described. We found no self-serve export of account data, though you can download your own designs and delete your account. Basic shows ads; the paid plans are ad-free.
Read the vendor's own page: Fotor privacy and data controls. We make no legal or compliance claim.

- Turn project notes into a report that agrees with itself
- Implement a small specification
- Refactor code without changing what it does
- Make a picture that follows a detailed brief
- Put exact text into a graphic
- Change one thing in a picture and nothing else
- Make a short clip that follows a brief
- Make a song that sings your lyrics exactly
- Read a script with names, numbers and abbreviations
- Design a logo with an exact name
Getting started
- Start on Fotor Basic and try the editing tools and a few AI images with the free credits.
- Do not plan commercial work on Basic: Fotor's pages disagree on whether free material and AI output may be used commercially.
- If you need commercial use and no watermark, choose Pro; choose Pro+ for all design material, AI slides and batch background removal.
- Check each model's credit cost before you generate: images cost 1 to 15 credits and video clips about 5 to 250.
- Compare design tools on our tools page, and read how we check vendor claims.
