Your phone cam may be flagship-quality, but it doesn't mean you can no longer make room for an edit or two. There's joy in editing photos, whether you're doing it for fun or for money-making purposes. Regardless, there are apps that can help you in this regard.
Here are some of the most convenient photo editing apps to use for your Android or iOS device.
Adobe Photoshop Express
What better way to start this list than with Photoshop Express. You can download this app free of charge, giving you color, contrast, and exposure options. You won't be getting the pro tools, though, but what you get for free is enough to tweak your images and make them look better than before.
Photoshop Express isn't as elaborate as other photo editing apps, but it's a solid editing app that gives you a decent selection of overlay textures and filters for free.
Lightroom
Unlike Photoshop Express, Adobe Lightroom has some fee to it -- $5 per month --but some tools are available for free. This app is the go-to of many professional photographers because it offers fine grain control over any image.
The tools on the app are the same ones you'll find in the desktop version. It allows users to sync images in the cloud, so if you start on one device, you can finish it on another.
Snapseed
Owned by Google, Snapseed is available for free and offers a chockfull of color tools and exposure to make editing easy-peasy. Users get plenty of choice for filters as well, whether you want punchy HDR results or vintage aesthetics.
Snapseed allows users to layer filters and effects, so it's guaranteed your pictures will come out more interesting, perhaps a standout among the rest.
Prisma
If you're more into odd and bizarre filters, Prisma has them for you. You won't find basic and subtle editing tools here -- this app is for those whose art choices are done by Picasso or Salvador Dali. You can get crazy with Prisma but in a good kind of way.
VSCO
VSCO started out as presets for Lightroom, but it has since evolved into something much more sophisticated. Rather than offering animated gifs or stickers, the app instead chose to offer artful filters, including designs that make your pics look as if they were taken from Kodak and Fujifilm.
You'll get a free trial for seven days if you download VSCO right now, but you'll have to pay $20 a year after that.
