I love taking photos. And, even though, I don’t call myself a professional, I have had people comment and use my photos for professional use. People always ask me how I get such a good photo, but truth is taking a decent photo isn’t as hard as editing it is.
These 4 photo editing apps can make your favorite photos get noticed and look even more amazing, and did I mention, they’re all FREE!!
PicMonkey. PicMonkey is probably one of the more famous photo sites, but their app is somewhat on the newer side. The PickMonkey photo-editing app requires you to edit your photos, so it’s not as blogger-friendly as some other photo editing apps, but it’s still good. PicMonkey editing allows users to add text, drawings, and stickers and perform slight editing to their photos. The PicMonkey app is a fast and easy go-to app for quick photo edits.
Canva. Oh sweet, Canva! Canva is probably one of my favorite apps, and I’ve been using it since it was released. This app makes it easy to use predesigned templates to design pretty, professional-looking photos. Canva makes it easy to create an Instagram post and Facebook covers. While the actual app is not as good as the actual Canva website, it is still a great app for making quick photos.
Adobe Photoshop Apps. Adobe Photoshop is probably one of the biggest names in photo editing, so the fact that they offer free editing apps is a huge deal. Adobe has a variety of editing apps that are free on iPhones, but on Android, these apps cost a few dollars. Adobe Photoshop apps allow you to create beautiful, blemish-free photos and merge photos onto other photos. The possibilities with Adobe Photoshop apps are literally endless. Some of my favorite Photoshop apps are Lightroom and Photoshop Mix.
Typorama. This app is fairly new to me, but I have to admit, it’s my new favorite. Typorama makes it easy to create beautiful photos while doing minimal work. Typorama allows users to pull pictures directly from Pixabay via their app. Just select a photo, type some words, and let Typorama choose the layout. This app makes taking professional photos a breeze. And, for $5.99, users can unlock all available fonts and add their watermarks to their photos.
Those are some of my favorite photo editing apps, what are yours?

Thank you for the list! I use a lot of these–PicMonkey and Canva are my two top favorites at the moment. I’ve heard about Lightroom but haven’t tried it yet.
Thank you for sharing these great apps! Can’t wait to try them all and see. And those are free yayy! :D
You are right, editing can be much harder and should be very detailed in every aspect. Adobe photoshop app helps me a lot in it. I used more of the Lightroom because I am not so good in Lighting.
These are great recommendations. I have never used any adobe products on the phone and had never even heard of Typorama, gotta check them out.

Great list! PicMonkey is my absolute favorite. I use it for everything!
I’ve been using PicMonkey for years and I love it. Just started with Canva too and although it’s not very intuitive, I’m getting there. :)
Right now the only one I use is VSCO but I’m glad you made this list because it does have it’s limits!
PicMonkey and Photoshop are already my faves on desktop so it makes total sense that I should be using them on my phone as well!
I love using PicMonkey. But have never heard of the others, will definitely have to check them out. I also use FotoRus, it’s a great one for filtering out the haze in pics and making them look sharper! Thank you.
Love your picks! I use Canva religiously, it’s my absolute favorite! :)
I haven’t heard of VSCO, but I will have to check it out. And for me, using the apps on my phone is a timesaver! Thanks for stopping by.
I think Typorama is fairly new, but it’s amazing! And, Adobe on the phone is such a timesaver. Thanks for stopping by!
PicMonkey is pretty amazing, thanks for stopping by!
When I made the switch from PicMonkey to Canva, I had such a hard time with it, but now I can’t live without it! Thanks for visiting!
Thanks for the suggestion. I have heard of FotoRus, but I never tried it I. I’ll have to download that one now. Thanks for stopping by!
Glad you share this list, I haven’t tried picmonkey and it sounds great, I will check this out
I didn’t know PicMonkey could be used on the phone!! I love Photofy, it is perfect for everything I need.
PicMonkey is fairly new for the phone, but it’s so handy. I’ve never heard of Photofy, but thanks for the suggestion, I will have to check it out.
