History

Founded in 2012,[7] Fotor Photo Editor can be used online[8] or downloaded as a free mobile and computer application[9] compatible with Windows, Android, and Apple.[10] It is used to adjust and alter images, both photographic and non-photographic.[11] [12] [13] As of 2014, the apps were supported in fourteen languages.[14]

In addition to basic photo editing tools such as cropping,[15] red eye removal,[16] [17] the use of stickers and overlays,[18] photo deblurring,[19] and aperture addition.[17] Fotor can also be used for graphic design and collage making.[16] Though the initial app is free, some options are only available through an in-app purchase,[17] or via the Fotor Pro version.[8] Fotor also has a module dedicated to making collages and smart templates with support for image layers.[20] [21]

In 2016, Fotor updated its HDR curves adjustment to its platform.[17]

In the late 2017, Fotor added a custom aspect ratio option to its collage function and altered its tilt-shift algorithm.[22]

In 2018, Fotor Launched PxBee that entered the stock photo industry.[23]
