Why is Krumzi the best alternative to Fotor?

1

AI-first design tool vs photo editor with AI bolted on

Fotor started as a photo editor and has progressively added AI features on top. Krumzi was built from the ground up as an AI design tool. The difference shows in the output: Fotor helps you edit photos and apply effects; Krumzi generates complete social media designs from your text description.

2

Transparent credit system vs a 1.1-star Trustpilot billing nightmare

Fotor has a 1.1-star Trustpilot rating, with widespread complaints about unauthorized charges, difficult cancellation, and hidden billing practices. Krumzi offers transparent pricing with no hidden charges — cancel anytime with no penalties.

3

Creates social media designs vs creates edited photos

Fotor's strength is photo editing: retouching, filters, HDR effects, AI enhancement. Krumzi's strength is design generation: creating complete social media posts with layout, typography, colors, shapes, and composition from your text description. Different tools for different jobs.
