Raspy vs Fotor
Published
Fotor sells itself on AI: enhancers, background removal, generators, batch processing. Its privacy policy says uploads are stored on its servers in the United States for as long as your account exists. Its own pricing page says the free plan watermarks exports, while its homepage says the opposite. Raspy has no AI, no servers, no watermark and no plan.

Where Fotor wins
AI and volume. Fotor's one-click enhancer, background removal, old-photo restoration and image generation all run on its servers, which is exactly why they can exist; a browser on a phone could not do them. Its batch editor applies the same change to a folder of photos, which Raspy, one photo at a time, cannot. If you want a machine to make the decisions, Fotor will.
Where Raspy wins
Nothing is uploaded or kept. Fotor's privacy policy says your input is stored on its servers for as long as your account exists, and that for unsubscribed users with gift credits, AI inputs and outputs are made public in its community by default. Raspy has no upload path: the photo is decoded, edited and encoded in the page, and closing the tab is the end of it.
No watermark, no HD paywall. Fotor's pricing page lists watermarked exports on the free plan and reserves high-resolution downloads for Pro. Its homepage FAQ claims free exports have no watermark, so the experience may vary; the pricing page is the one that governs. Raspy exports at full resolution, in JPEG, PNG or WebP, with nothing stamped on it, for free.
Predictable adjustments. Raspy's sliders do one thing each and the same thing every time, in the order the iPhone taught a billion people. An AI enhancer decides for you, which is quicker when it is right and frustrating when it is not.
Which to use
Fotor if you want AI to restore or generate, or need to process a batch, and are willing to pay to lose the watermark. Raspy for the hand-done edit that stays on your device and costs nothing.
