Fotor is a photo editor and AI image and video generator with credit plans, apps for web, phones and desktop, and brand kits.

That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 3.0 is higher than 82 of the 89 other AI image and video generators we grade. It costs $39.99 a year. - You could make: Templates: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: An image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make. - You could not: A video model, which you can rent by the second but not make. - You could not: Apps for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it. ## What people say - **App Store rating of the iPhone and iPad app:** 4.7 out of 5 from 42,481 ratings in the United States, read Nov 13, 2026.
