Get Fotoreto

Fotoreto is a web app: you install it straight from your browser, with no app store and no .exe or .dmg to download. Once installed it has its own icon like any app, opens full screen and updates itself.

Free, no account needed. Photos are processed on your device, never uploaded.

AI noise reduction runs only on computers whose graphics card supports WebGPU. Every other tool works on every device.

Internet the first time, offline after that

  1. First launch: online

    The app saves about 85 MB of libraries to your device (RAW and HEIC reading, face detection, person masks). Wi-Fi is best. This happens only once.

  2. After that: offline

    Opening the app, adding photos, editing, culling and saving all work without internet, on phones and tablets too. Great on location, on the road or on a plane.

  3. Online again: updates itself

    When a new version is out, the app downloads it in the background and asks you to tap Reload. Nothing to reinstall.

What still needs internet

  • Signing in, buying Premium, entering an invite code.
  • The first use of AI object removal (about a 100 MB model) and AI noise reduction (about 60 MB). Once downloaded, they work offline.
  • Syncing looks to your account and downloading presets bought at the store.
  • Premium keeps working offline; it needs internet at least once every 7 days to confirm your plan.

Installation questions

Is there an .exe installer for Windows or a .dmg for Mac?

You don’t need one. Installing from the browser as above gives you a real app window with its own icon in the taskbar or Dock, just like an app installed from a file.

Is Fotoreto on the App Store or Google Play?

Not yet. Install it straight from Safari or Chrome on your phone as shown above, with every feature of a store app.

Can I use it without installing?

Yes. Open https://app.fotoreto.com/?lang=en in your browser and start editing. Installing only makes it quicker to open and gives it its own icon.

Can I edit photos without internet?

Yes, once you have opened the app online one time. Opening the app, adding photos, editing, culling and saving all work offline, even on your phone.

Are my photos uploaded anywhere?

No. Photos are read and edited right on your device. If you sign in, the server only knows your account and Premium plan.

How do updates work?

Automatically. When you are online, the app downloads the new version in the background and asks you to tap Reload. No reinstalling.

Can I use it on my phone and computer at the same time?

The free plan works on any device. Premium works on 1 device at a time; signing in on another device signs the old one out.
