Editing a picture is a skill that takes practice. You want to get the perfect filter, brightness, and texture without ruining the image itself. It’s not an easy feat — especially for those of us who aren’t professional photographers.

But have no fear, these incredible editing apps are here! Make your next Instagram your best one yet after you use one of these beautiful filters. Each app is easy to use, boasts numerous filters, and is special in its own way. Find the best one for your feed and let the likes roll in.

This app is perfect for getting the picture perfect Instagram. Each filter was developed by a professional photographer and will help yours look just as nice (there’s a special filter recommendation feature). We love the easy user experience and the absence of stickers and other additions that tend to take away from a photo.


Fused (free for iOS and Windows)
Easy Tiger is known for its apps that can transform any picture or video you have saved on your camera roll. Our favorite is Fused — it takes two photos and fuses them together to create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that will guarantee likes on likes. Play around with this app and you’ll end up with a crazy cool creation every time.
