The photography industry is changing rapidly. Along with it, smartphones are changing, with more and more good cameras appearing on them. Think back to how they used to be: you couldn’t even think about high-quality photos without an expensive SLR camera. But time goes on, and today’s manufacturers are making smartphones with great cameras. That means mobile photo editing apps are popping up, too. Today we’re going to talk about the best ones that are suitable for use on Android smartphones.
Green screen apps can also be very useful. Are you interested in this topic? Head over to Skylum’s blog! There’s all about the best app for the green screen, as well as many other interesting articles!
1. FixThePhoto
If you’re looking for an easy-to-use picture editing application, this is definitely your choice! It has benefits such as:
- The ability to install a trial version to test out the basic features;
- All the necessary tools to improve your appearance;
- Changing and removing backgrounds, and unnecessary objects.
This app is handy for beginners. It has a friendly interface, so it won’t take you long to understand it.
2. PicsArt
Some things go away, some things change, but some things remain the same. PicsArt is such a timeless classic. It has been around for a long time and is extremely popular. And for good reason: this app gives you the ability to make changes to your photos with just a couple of clicks.
It has many advantages, including collages, stickers, filters, and different fonts. If you’re fine with the limited features and don’t mind the ads, you can download the free version. If you want more, then choose the paid version and enjoy all the extensive features!
3. Adobe Photoshop Express
How could we pass by this app when it’s so wonderful? We’ll start right away with a small minus so as not to praise it too much. Despite its great toolset, it can only be used for quick image editing. If you want to get the best effect, you need standard Photoshop. However, it seems that this application has so many features that it will be quite enough. Take a look:
- JPEG, PNG, and RAW image support;
- Spot recovery feature;
- Automatic changes, in contrast, exposure, and white balance.
Another plus is that you can use it not only for Android smartphones. IOS owners will be happy because the developers have made a version for them as well.
4. PhotoDirector
This app is especially popular with Instagram fans. And there’s nothing surprising here because it has the built-in InstaFill feature, which allows you to quickly post a picture to this social network. Of course, before that, you have to edit it. You can do that with a lot of functions: adjusting brightness, contrast, saturation, and color temperature, as well as removing unnecessary objects and improving blurry photos.
Some users think that it has a disadvantage, namely the lack of manual skin smoothing. However, we don’t think so, because one small disadvantage does not outweigh so many pros.
5. AirBrush
Are you still on the lookout for an app that allows you to make fine-tuning adjustments to your photos without touching the basics? Then AirBrush is a great choice. There’s nothing stopping you from making drastic changes, though. It all depends on how far you want to go.
You can use blur to selectively add bokeh effects to pictures. You can also use real-time editing features before taking selfies. This is available thanks to the camera that is in the app.
6. Snapseed
When we talk about selfies, it would be a sin not to mention this app. After all, it was created especially for this purpose! With Snapseed, you can easily and quickly sharpen, crop, blur, use filters, contrast, add frames and brighten images. This applies to the whole picture, but sometimes you only need to touch a small area. The app gives you the opportunity to do this too with a special tool. It also has a free version, so download and try it out!
7. PhotoRoom
But for those of us who want to use a photo editing app for more professional purposes, PhotoRoom is a convenient app to have on your Android phone. It’s great for businesses that are updating their product photos and need consistent images on their website or catalogue. PhotoRoom’s background remover tool and transparent background tool are especially useful for this. The app also has other AI features that can remove objects, add text, recolour backgrounds or resize images.
8. Fotor
Of course, our list would not be complete without this great app. It is often referred to as a simplified version of Photoshop because of its wide range of features and user-friendly interface. It gives the user the ability to change the entire image or just an area of it, to edit brightness and hues, to turn a color picture into black and white, and to use a nostalgic movie effect or a retro style. In general, its wide range of tools will not leave you indifferent!
To sum up
You can try each of these apps, and they all have something to surprise you. Perhaps there is one among them that you will use all the time. Be sure to compare what they offer and choose the best option for you!
