Modern mobile photo editors are developing so fast that they may soon completely replace traditional photo processing tools, at least for amateur purposes. However, among all their variety it is quite difficult to understand. Here are 11 of the best editor applications for mobile devices based on Android and iOS, which will be useful for all fans of mobile photography. Check out more photo apps on apppearl.
3 apps for photo processing
Snapseed: add drama
One of the most popular photo editors. Snapseed provides a lot of features: a huge number of filters and effects, such as tilt-shift and focus correction, adjusting sharpness, and color reproduction. There is automatic editing. You can select a group of especially “atmospheric” filters that will look good with both color and black and white photos, adding a certain drama and mystery to the picture.
LensLight: add highlights to your photos
The Lenslight application is considered a highly specialized one. Its main feature is a large number of various optical and light effects, highlights, glows, and bokeh. Each effect can be carefully adjusted and a filter can be applied to the photo. After adding the effects, the rays look very natural. The implementation of the program is also quite simple: after the first work with it, all its wide possibilities become clear.
VSCOCam: a new standard in mobile photography
There is no doubt that VSCOCam is the most popular application. By the way, the authors proudly call their program “the new standard in mobile photography.” And not for nothing: VSCOCam lets you apply various filters and experiment with settings. The application guide is available, so you can thoroughly explore all the program’s features before you start. Another advantage is the intuitive interface. Again, according to the developers, they did everything so that users “do not waste time on long post-processing, and get beautiful pictures simply and quickly.” The photo editor itself is free. Additionally, you can buy paid content.
2 applications for adding text to photos
Phonto: the richest fonts in the world
Aside from the built-in fonts (there are around 50 of them), Phonto lets you install any fonts you want. It’s realized very easily: in order to add a text you just have to click on the photo. Then you can do absolutely everything with the text. Alignment, changing fonts, colors, transparency, adding symbols and background – with Phonto, unlike Over, you can implement any creative idea you like. By the way, you can also edit the photo by applying one of the filters to it. Additional frames and filters are available for an extra fee.
Typic: for those who are not indifferent to user-friendly design
Typic is able to automatically crop your photos to a square. After selecting a frame you can apply one of the 11 free filters, add text, choose from 30 fonts and 7 colors, adjust its transparency and, finally, decorate the result with a frame or a pattern. Available fonts work correctly only with the Latin alphabet. Perhaps it can be noted and a pleasant interface of the program. More fonts and filters and fonts are available in the second version of the program – Typic+.
3 applications for creating collages
Moldiv: collages and more
The free app from the creators of PicsPlay Pro. With it, you can easily combine and edit several photos. Here you will find not only different frames and a wide range of options, but also the possibility to decorate your photos with captions and stickers. You will be able to combine up to 9 pictures in one collage! Besides, you can make the corners of photos rounded, choose a background, customize the font (the choice of fonts is huge, and they are adapted to the Cyrillic alphabet as well). Before you start, you can watch a video about the possibilities of the application, but most likely you will figure it out without it.
The program is very user-friendly and understandable. The photo editing function is also very good: among the 45 effects, you will find the one that will bring your creative ideas to life. And for those who are not satisfied with such a set, you can buy the premium package for 66 rubles.
Photo Grid: Create announcements and video stories
Another free application that allows you to create not only collages but also a kind of postcards and bulletin boards. Photo Grid cannot boast the same rich functionality as Moldiv. For example, here you will not be able to adjust the thickness of the frames. But it has a number of other advantages. For example, with this program, you can create video stories using your photos and your favorite music, as well as photo stories with text and stickers. In total, the program offers about 3,000 layouts and stickers. In addition, the app also allows you to edit individual photos.
Pic Jointer: quick and easy
Unlike the previous two applications, Pic Jointer offers the most common collages: simple and fast. There are 64 patterns for the user to choose from. You can adjust the thickness, roundness of frame borders, and color to your liking. A premium account will allow you to choose the background of the scheme as well.
3 applications for creating multiple exposures
MultiExpo: the first app for multi-exposure
For those who are looking for an interesting app to create a multi-exposure effect, we suggest you look at MultiExpo. It is implemented quite well: a clear and pleasant interface, the ability to frame each frame separately and apply filters to the merged image. The application is completely free, there is no premium package.
Instant Blend: Multiple Exposure as a feature
An app that allows you to create images with double exposure. The free feature set includes the ability to apply different filters to images, contrast correction, exposure for each frame, all kinds of frames, and adding captions. Premium Features let you add more variety to your images. In English.
Picamerge
The first thing that cannot be overlooked is the friendly interface. But compared to the aforementioned free photo editors, Picamerge seems too simple: here you can’t even rotate and crop the image. All you can do is merge two images into one and apply a filter to them.
