Wondershare Fotophire Photo Solutions Review: Photo Editing made simple for everyone
The very simple to use Fotophire (Pronounced Photo-fire) Editing Toolkit lets you edit, crop photos or remove unwanted objects from pictures easily.
I have used a lot of Wondershare products, particularly in the areas of video works, yet I didn’t know much about their photo editing line until I came across the Fotophire Editing Toolkit.
Nowadays, software continues to cost so much especially if it only provides you with no lifetime subscription. It has become expensive to have a decent photo editing software at a good price.
Currently, Fotophire Editing Toolkit is available for PC and MAC at $49.99 yearly subscription and a lifetime subscription for $79.99. But is the software really worth the price?
We’ll find out.
Downloading Fotophire Editing Toolkit is pretty easy. You need to visit the main website and download. The good thing is there is a 7 days trial available if you just want to test the software.
After successfully installing and launching the application, you would notice that Fotophire contains 3 different tools. They are:
- Photo Editor
- Photo Cutter and
- Photo Eraser.
There are also the Photo Maximizer (a tool for enlarging photos) and Photo Focus (a tool for fixing and refocusing blurry photos) extension which can be downloaded to add new functionality.
I tested all three “modules”.
Let’s start with the Fotophire Photo Editor.
1 Fotophire Photo Editor
The photo editor puts all the tools you would need to edit your photos in your hands.
There are over 100 effects and filters to choose from as well as the option to save your own personalised settings as a new effect. There are also colour adjustments, vignettes, frames, cropping and texture edits.
Features
- Drag & Drop Interface
- Cut & Crop
- Filters & Effects
- 20+ Blend Modes
- Wide Format Support
- Before and After Views
- Straighten Line
- Texture
- Save Presets
- Tone Curve

2 Fotophire Photo Cutter
Whether you want a transparent background for an image, or just want a different background than your photo has by default, Photo Cutter makes it easy to get the results you want. The tool is one of the best background removers in the market today, to cut objects out in just a few clicks!
The Photo Cutter can deduce the edges of objects for itself using its leading colour detection technology. There’s no need for you to edit pixel-by-pixel. You can import photos, edit and view the result instantly.
Features

3 Fotophire Photo Eraser
The Photo Eraser is one of those priceless features from the Fotophire toolkit. It helps to remove unwanted objects and even people from photos. It’s hard to do this manually with the solutions that are available and Wondershare knows it, so they made things simpler.
According to them, the Photo Cutter uses a specific algorithm that analyses the surroundings and automatically fills in the area with matched textures.
Features
- 4 Selection Methods
- Customized Brush Size
- Align Mode
- Drag & Drop Interface
- Formats Widely Supported
- Lasso Tool
- Clone Stamp
- Built-In Tutorial

Verdict
Fotophire gives you three (upgradable for free to 5) pieces of software for the price of one. For amateur and intermediate photographers, bloggers and people who want to easily edit photos without much trouble and at a very fast speed, I recommend this.
Fotophire, by far is simple to get around with, provides world class solutions in an easy manner, is fast and efficient and saves you time. is easy to use, produces results quickly and saves you time.
