A Completely Honest FotoJet Review

Have I mentioned how much I love FotoJet?

I have previously worked with PicMonkey and Canva but more recently I have been exploring FotoJet.

I am absolutely loving it.

It has so many great features and it is super easy to manipulate designs to make exactly what you want.

But hold on, what is Fotojet and why do I need it?

What a wonderful question.

Fotojet is a FREE web-based graphic designer, photo editor, and collage maker.

1o reasons why you need Fotojet

Super simple to use

No installation required

No registration required

800+ collage layouts and templates

Custom templates

All of the editing tools you would expect

Beautiful font choices

Custom color choices

Great photo effects

FUN!

 

I began with a FREE account to see how much I can do without paying.

Personally, I use the editing and collage tools the most. However, I have also been playing with the other design tools quite regularly.

FotoJet is fully compatible with Windows 7/8/10, Mac OS X and Linux. It is recommended to be used with Internet Explorer version 10.0 or higher, Firefox 10.0 or higher, Safari 7.0 or higher, and Google Chrome 14.0 or higher.

 
Sadly, there is no mobile version at this time. I am told they are working on it but was not given a timeline for its debut.
 
FotoJet supports adding photos directly from your PC, Mac Photo App, and even Facebook.
 
The Facebook option especially excited me. I love some of my photos from my original Facebook days but they definitely need some editing.
 
I also found it helpful that I could play around with editing, adding graphics, changing photo intensity and other options. This is all before making the actual change to the photo or collage. I simply hit apple once I am happy with my choice.
 
You will see that there are already photos embedded in some of the designs. These are simply examples.

If you do not own the right to the photos do not use them. They are copyright protected.

I was very impressed with the tools available to me but as these things go (and because I was offered a free premium account) I kept digging.

If you choose to upgrade to FotoJet Plus, you will get additional benefits:

  • All advanced features.
  • 30+ premium fonts.
  • 20+ premium photo effects.
  • 300+ premium clip art images.
  • 30+ premium shapes.
  • 30+ premium overlays.
  • 20+ premium frames.
  • Priority support service.
  • Ad-free.

Currently, only FotoJet Plus subscribers can save their photo work as a project file for later editing.

A monthly subscription is currently $4.99 (reduced from $9.99).

An annual FotoJet subscription at only $34.99 per year is a great deal.

It breaks down to $2.91 per month reduced from $4.99 per month so it is definitely affordable.

This is especially good since PicMonkey recently changed their pricing structure.

They do not offer a free account anymore and the annual membership is $47.88

Well technically PicMopnkey does offer a free membership but you cannot save your edits so there really is not much point to it. Read more about that HERE.

FYI, I had a paid PicMonkey account but I recently jump shipped for FotoJet.

I also had a free account over at Canva but overall I find FotoJet better suits my needs and desires.

Now back to the subject at hand…

Either way, free or paid,  I am very happy with FotoJet.

What do you feel the ideal set of tools should include?

Please let me know in the comments below.

P.S. Mine is that I want to be able to save my edited images in the platform, save custom background colors and save custom font colors.

  1. Thank you for sharing this. I have just began doing research on graphic design, and will definitely be using this website. I had seen Canva, and it’s alright, so I’m excited to try FotoJet!

  2. Hi Elise,
    Great to see you. I also reviewed FotoJet. I definitely feel it’s an excellent alternative to Canva if people are looking for an alternate. Lately, I’ve been enjoying Fotor.

  3. Hi Dr. Elise,
    Very good review on Fotojet. I had seen it mentioned before but you made me curious. I tried it and it has some interesting options, one of which I like is the HTML version to put on your website – good for sidebar use. I use PicMonkey and like it a lot same pricing for annual plans more or less. Use Canva as well, the free version. Thanks for the introduction to Fotojet.

  4. Very interesting! Being the artsy fartsy kinda gal that I am, I’ve long had desktop publishing software as a mainstay on my computer, but I’m always interested in discovering new resources so I’m definitely going to take a close look at Fotojet and see how I might be able to use it. Thanks!

    I love finding out about new tools. I have a paid Pic Monkey account but hardly ever use it. I seem to use Canva for most of my graphics, thanks again for the information.

  6. I wonder if Fotojet would work better for me than Canva for Work? It is definitely less expensive. If I ever get time to spare, I will check it out but I also have Photoshop. Thanks for this review.

  8. Hi Elise,

    You have reminded me that I already have a FotoJet account that I haven’t used much – which is silly really, because I liked it very much as an alternative to Canva and PicMonkey.

    Thanks for inspiring me to revisit it.

    I agree – being able to save images on the platform is very important, although being ultra-cautious I always save on my local machine as well.

  9. Thanks. Never heard of this but will check it out. I’ve used canva for a few years but always looking for new things!

  10. Fotojet is new to me; I currently use PicMonkey and Canva. Every now and then, I use Adobe Spark. I’ll have to check Fotojet out. Thanks Elise!

  11. I’ve never heard of FotoJet, but I’m so going to check it out. I’m coaching a group of newbie bloggers and they might find it useful. Personally, I’m a Adobe CC girl, but I get that that’s not for everyone.
