Fotor Photo Color Correction

One-click AI color fixes plus manual controls: temperature, tint, curves and HSL sliders in the browser.

FreemiumBeginnerWebWindowsMaciOSAndroid

Overview

Fotor's color correction fixes off-color photos two ways. The AI route corrects lightness, contrast and saturation in one click. The manual route gives brightness, contrast, saturation, temperature and tint sliders, plus curves. An HSL tool adjusts hue, saturation and lightness per color range. A hue changer swaps the color of a single object without touching the rest.

The manual sliders and curves are free in the browser. The one-click AI correction and the HSL tool cost credits. The same tools run in Fotor's Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android apps, and its paid plans are subscriptions.

When to use

Use Fotor's color correction if:

  • Your photo's color is off, too warm, too cool, washed out, and you want it corrected in one click.
  • You want to adjust one color specifically: deepen a sky, mute a distracting red, via HSL sliders.
  • You want more than the auto fix: curves and temperature without learning Lightroom.
  • You want to change an object's color entirely with the hue changer.
  • You edit casually across devices and want the same tools on web and phone.

When NOT to use

Skip it if any of these describe you:

  • You color-correct RAW shoots for clients. Adobe Lightroom is built for that workflow, with profiles and batch sync.
  • You want a cinematic look with LUTs and split toning. Dedicated color grading tools go deeper.
  • The photo's real problem is exposure damage or noise. A photo enhancer that reconstructs detail does more than color sliders.
  • You need color-managed print accuracy. Browser tools do not replace calibrated desktop workflows.

Frequently asked questions

The manual controls are free: brightness, contrast, saturation, sharpness, temperature, tint and curves. The one-click AI correction and the HSL tool cost credits. Credits come with Fotor's paid plans, which are subscriptions.

HSL stands for hue, saturation and lightness. The tool adjusts each color range separately, so you can shift only the blues of a sky, or reduce only the reds of skin, without touching the rest of the photo. It is a paid tool and costs credits.

Yes. The one-click AI fix or the temperature and tint sliders neutralize casts from indoor lighting, shade or wrong camera settings. Strong casts may need the sliders plus an HSL pass.

Fotor covers single-photo fixes in a browser, with the manual sliders free. Lightroom adds RAW files, profiles, batch corrections across shoots and a color-managed pipeline.

The correction tools fix the whole photo: temperature neutralizes a color cast, saturation lifts everything at once. The hue changer is aimed at one object instead, swapping its color while the rest of the image stays put. Use it when the picture is already right and you only want one object in a different color. An example is showing a product in another shade without reshooting it.
