## Description

PhotoLayers Pro makes photo editing and layering simple and fun. It’s a photo montage app that helps you create beautiful photo collages, composite photos, and photomontages easily. This is the paid, ad-free version.

Key features include a Background Eraser to make unwanted areas transparent, Layer compositing to combine up to 11 photos at once, and Color control to adjust tones for more attractive results.

## Review summary

Users praise its ease of use, simplicity, and a one-time purchase, with fast performance and solid background-removal/layering capabilities. However, recurring complaints center on ads appearing in the paid version after updates, a strict 10-layer cap, inability to save layered projects, and removal of the text tool (often linked to upsell for a separate app), signaling a shift in the pro experience.

### Pros

- One-time payment for the full version (no subscription)
- Easy to use and user-friendly interface
- Lightweight and fast performance
- Powerful for background removal and layering/composites
- Reliable for daily use over years

### Cons

- Ads appear in the paid/pro version after updates
- 10-layer limit per creation
- Inability to save or reuse layered projects
- Recent updates removed the text tool / upsell to a separate app
