1. Snapseed, best for advanced photo editing

Created by Google, Snapseed packs a punch, rivaling desktop photo editors with its wide variety of features and a uniquely intuitive interface.

This photo editing app comes with a range of preset filters. It also allows you to customise those filters or create your very own from scratch. Snapseed comes with all the typical tools, including cropping, straightening, frames, text, vignettes, and more. And the sharpening feature does the job without making the image look grainy.

The app also comes with precision masking and a “Selective Adjust” tool that allows you to select a specific area of your photo and adjust the saturation, contrast, and brightness of that single point. Snapseed saves your edit history. That is particularly important if you want to amend your previous edits at any point.

2. VSCO by Visual Supply Company

The VSCO mobile app comes with a set of stunning yet soft and subtle filters that make your photos look like you took them on an analog film camera. That unique set of filters adds a touch of class to pictures, and you can adjust those filters with a simple slider.

The app also comes with a complete set of standard editing tools, like adjustments, cropping, borders, and vignettes. You can also use VSCO to adjust the exposure, contrast, temperature, or skin tones. And once you’ve completed your edits, VSCO allows you to share directly on any social network.

3. Adobe Photoshop Express Editor
