5 Free Photo Editing Apps You Need to Try Right Now


Ah, Instagram. The social media giant that brings out the photographer in each and every one of us. Whether it's a nature pic, a flat lay or even a selfie, taking these well-staged pictures encourages us to tap into our artistic side. 

However, we're not all gifted enough to be professionals nor do we all own a high-grade camera. That is why we should all be grateful for mobile photo editing apps! Now, with just a few taps and swipes, you can have flawless, high-quality pictures, every time. 

To help you create more stunning, Instagram-worthy photos, I've listed 5 free mobile photo editing apps that you MUST use right now. 

(Disclaimer: This is not a sponsored post, and all these apps are installed on my iPhone.)


1. Blend Editor - This fantastic app - as the name implies - lets you blend two pictures to create one stunning artwork. 

For example, you can combine a portrait with a picture of nature to create a magnificent piece of art that takes no time at all. You can choose which images to put together, which one is dominant and how light or strong you want the contrast to be. 



The free version gives you Classic and Skyscraper, and for about $5 USD you can unlock all the other categories like galaxy and scenery. 


2. Typorama - I LOVE this app. In fact, I use this alongside Blend Editor to create book quotes for The Booksnake Etc. It's superb in its category as it lets you add creative text on top of images. And I'm not talking about low-grade text that's available in other photo editing apps. No. Typorama is so much better than that. As the example below proves. 


Another thing I love about this photo editor is the abundance of text styles available. And it's just the free version! For the paid one, you get a few more styles plus you can remove the credit on the lower right part of your creation. 

Tip: Tap on a text style multiple times to see more available options. 


3. Darkr - If you're into vintage style photos, you would love this. This app lets you edit your pictures as if you're in a darkroom! Another fun option is using the in-app camera which is a lot like using old cameras with the film rolls that we all loved. And the best part? It actually comes out as a negative! It's fantastic. 



The whole editing process takes more time than with other apps, but you're guaranteed to have a unique picture that will catch people's attention.



4. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom - It's an Adobe photo editor for your phone. Do we need to explain further? It's a simple, straightforward application that gives you consistently good pictures. There's not a lot going on in this mobile app, but it has all the essentials that will test your artistic abilities. 



5. Foodie - Do you want to guess what this photo editing app is for? If you love food, like the rest of us, and you love taking quick snaps of dishes before devouring your meal, then Foodie is perfect for you. It has a vast collection of pre-set filters that are meant to make whatever you're eating even more delectable. At least on a picture. It's quick, easy, and effective. You can't say no to that. 

You now have five more free mobile photo editing apps that you can add to your arsenal. Inspire creativity in yourself and others and share these with your friends today. Happy editing!
