My Must-Have Photo Editing Apps

Hey there! If you didn't already know, yep, I snapped all my photos with my trusty smartphone. No fancy DSLR or compact camera in sight, though I've got my eyes on an Olympus Pen (daydream alert!)

I spend hours and hours tinkering with editing because, let's be real, my pics need a lot of TLC. They're not exactly the best, but hey, they're the best for me. The secret? Two things: good lighting and the best photo apps!

Just thought I'd dish out a little treat for ya! 

Snapseed

Snapseed is my go-to photo editing app, no doubt about it. It's like my photo BFF. It's totally free, plus it comes with cool filters and awesome basic editing tools. There's this nifty brush tool too, where you can tweak things like exposure, saturation, temperature, and even do some dodging and burning. Super handy stuff!

I use Snapseed all the time, especially when I want to get that perfect white background in my photos. You know how lighting can be a bit tricky sometimes. Shoutout to the genius who created this app! If you're on the hunt for a simple editing app that pretty much has it all, give Snapseed a shot. 

VSCO

Personally, I like to do my first round of edits on Snapseed and then add the finishing touches with VSCO. Just so you know, I usually skip the filters AKA presets (although they're all pretty decent) because they can be a bit much. And I think, VSCO's sharpening and tint tools are pretty solid compared to other apps. Just my two cents!

Phonto

Phonto is my go-to whenever I want to jazz up my photos with some text. I've stuck with Phonto for years now – it's super handy. Even if you're just starting out, you won't struggle much with it. It's a breeze to use, and you'll catch on in no time. Plus, you can have your favorite fonts installed in the app – there are loads to choose from their own font library though, but I like just like to have more fonts from DaFont!
