FairPhoto includes its AI engine; models download separately. The included AI engine requires Apple silicon and macOS 14 or later; MLX models require macOS 26.2 or later. Features, speed, memory and storage needs depend on the model, which has its own license.
Layered RGB PSD/PSB saves preserve groups, masks, supported editable text, vector shapes, adjustments and layer styles at 8 or 16 bits per channel. Compatibility notices identify features that need a rendered fallback. Save a .fphoto master to retain all FairPhoto-specific editing data. FairPhoto PSD details checked October 24, 2026.
Checked October 6, 2026. Each column describes one paid desktop image product, not every image editor. The subscription column includes its companion web generation tools where noted; availability and allowances depend on the selected plan.

No. FairPDF is $10, FairPDF+ is $20, F-cubed BYOK is $12, and FairPhoto is $29.99. All prices are in USD for a one-time app purchase. F-cubed's cloud provider charges are separate.
The free edition shows a visible license-message watermark and keeps manual saving, export and printing locked. Automatic recovery remains available. It includes three film looks, Oil Painting and Watercolor Artistic AI effects, and the Watercolor neural brush. No card is required. See the free edition, or buy a license to unlock the full app.
FairPDF+ runs its AI locally on Apple silicon. FairPDF is a local editor without AI. F-cubed BYOK uses your cloud API key and sends AI requests and relevant document content to that provider.
FairPDF+ processes your documents with models on your Mac. Downloads, update checks and checkout require internet access. FairPhoto includes its AI engine; image and video models need an initial download. Optional cloud services in FairPhoto send selected content to the chosen provider. Optional connected features in FairPDF and cloud AI in F-cubed use the network.
No AI tool can promise that. Review names, dates, numbers, checkboxes and field placement before saving or sharing a completed form, especially on scans and flattened PDFs.
FairPDF and F-cubed require macOS 13 or later. FairPDF+ 1.1 requires macOS 26.2 or later and Apple silicon; 32 GB memory is recommended. FairPhoto’s editor runs on macOS 13 or later. Its included AI engine requires Apple silicon and macOS 14 or later; MLX models require macOS 26.2 or later. Larger AI models need more memory and disk space.
