Written by: Urooj Kodwavi
The best photo editing apps can help enhance your picture, whether you’re an influencer, a professional photographer or even just someone who wants to put their best foot forward. Photo editing apps are everywhere, but finding the best one out there is a little tricky — but we found a couple, just for you.
- Snapseed
This app is not only for free, but available in both IOS and Android. Google's Snapseed, rivalling desktop photo editors with its gigantic scope of elements and an instinctive interface.
The app also has a lot of the classic tools for example, cropping, straightening, frames, text, vignettes — above all that, the sharpening feature within the app does a great job at perfecting the image without making it grainy.
The app also includes precision masking, this allows you to edit the depth of field. This tool is often used by photographers to make the background blurry and bringing the foreground into focus.
2. PicsArt
This app can be found in both IOS and Android. The app covers up the basic tools and also provides more creative control, great image-editing tools and a larger variety of attractive filters. You can also add stickers into the picture, add artistic text and create collages as well.
The app also has a video on how to use it, which is extremely easy to follow. However the downside to this is that there are multiple ads that pop up within the app, so in order for those to stop you’ll need to pay. The app is very fun and lively, and it gives you a lot of creative control to make the photo yours. Even if you don’t want to make it fun, you can simply stick to the basic editing tools to enhance your picture.
3. Foodie
