Instagram Editing Apps That Will Totally Change Your Social Game
Picking out a picture to post on Instagram takes a long time. But editing can take even longer, especially if you don’t have the right tools. And if you don’t have the right tools, then what are you even doing?
Having a bomb-ass Instagram is part of life now. There is no excuse for having dark, under-exposed photos on your feed (unless it was artsy and intentional). Everyone else is stepping their Gram game up, so don’t be left in the dark times of the 2010’s. Step into the future (and away from only using FaceTune and VSCO) and make your Instagram feed bomb as hell, no matter your aesthetic.
Snapseed

Snapseed is a great app for editing photos. It’s easy to navigate and the “tools” tab has a ton of editing options. While it doesn’t quite have the filter range like VSCO, it absolutely makes up for it with its range of cool features.
Color Change.r

You’ve got this amazing photo you want to post on Instagram, but this person’s bright orange coat in the background is messing the whole look up. Don’t sacrifice the perfect layout by cropping it, just use Color Change.r. This app helps to remove any colors you don’t want in your pictures. This is definitely an app you want to have around, for those “just in case” moments.
Hyperlapse

This is hands down the best app for creating time-lapses. It lets you speed up and slow down video form 1x to 12x the normal speed, and the software uses image-stabilization to create smooth time-lapses. No need for a fancy camera and heavy equipment when you can just download this app!

If you’re a food Instagramer, you’re going to want this app in your life. This app is made for delicious food shots that often suffer from poor lighting. Foodie helps aid the issue by having filters that bathe your food in warm or cool light. So keep taking photos of your food no matter the lighting, because Foodie will be around to make them look amazing on the Gram.
Huji

“I saw Selena Gomez use Huji on Instagram…so I started to use Huji for my Instagram.” Kidding. Kind of. Huji is pretty popular for good reason. It creates this cool vintage/90’s photo look to your pictures without having to use a bulky film camera to get it. It does make you look through a ‘viewfinder’ to snap your photos, which is pretty freaking cute. Also cute is the time stamp at the bottom of your pictures, just to add that tiny bit of vibey-throwback-feels you were missing.
KiraKira+
KiraKira+ App via Apple
Have you ever seen a photo on Instagram where the sparkles were so out-of-this-world sparkly? Yeah, that person was probably using KiraKira+. This app makes sparkles and glitter take on a whole new meaning. You can adjust how much you want the shine to be, and then you take photos and videos in the app. It’s a glitter game changer.
UNUM app via Apple
You have some photos edited, but you’re not sure how they’ll look in your feed. UNUM is the perfect app for figuring out your Instagram layout. You can see which photo would look perfect to post next, you can even schedule posts and view your Instagram analytics. If you want to take your Instagram to the next level, this will help you get there.
