Everyone knows your travel stories are only as good as the pictures you post on Instagram. Capture your next amazing shot with no extra equipment, just your iPhone and a few select apps, to wow your friends and maybe even get your chance at Instagram fame.
While some photo editing apps may limit users by only offering a set amount of free editing tools with an upcharge for any of the advanced options, Pixlr offers more than 2 million different free ways to change up your photos. Change up your layout, background, spacing, layering, tone, border and more. Remove blemishes, whiten your teeth or turn your favorite photos into a poster.
Priime offers professional photo filters created by top photographers, so you can mimic their style. In addition, the app will automatically give you a filter suggestion, based on your photo’s artistic properties.
Google’s contribution to the photo editing app selection is Snapseed, which receives high praise from its users. The app gives users control down to the tiniest details, from fixing the lines of buildings to adding a blurred background behind your focal point.
SKRWT includes top features such as distortion correction, optional vignette correction, automatic cropping and an adjustable grid, all with the goal of making your photos as symmetrical and pleasing to the viewer as possible.
For photographers with an eye for color, A Color Story offers more than 100 filters, 40 movable effects and 20 editing tools, with a focus on making your colors pop and your whites cleaner.
