How I Edit My Instagram Pictures

A new obsession for me is Instagram.  Although I haven’t been a very active user in the past, I’ve been posting more and more pictures lately, and have been really into using apps on my phone to add filters and other things to them to make them look ‘cool.’  A lot of people on YouTube make entire videos on how they edit their pictures, or ‘What’s on my Phone,’ so I thought I’d make a blog post specifically on how I edit my pics.

In no particular order, here is a list of the 7 applications that I use on my phone (all FREE) in order to get creative-looking pictures.

Instagram: While the actual app itself doesn’t allow for much of the editing that I like to do personally, I do like some of the filters it offers for pictures, particularly Hudson and Valencia.

Photo Grid: This is an app to create a photo collage.  It’s not my absolute favorite, but it does work.  It also has some other editing options for pictures as well.

PhotoWonder: I like this app for the ‘beautify’ section where you can adjust red eye and things like that.  This app also has some nice effects filters for the photo.

Pixlr-o-matic: This is definitely one of my most used apps.  It allows you to crop your picture to ‘square’ size, or Instagram size, provides you with tons of filters, gives you tons of great effects, and gives you photo frames.  My favorite part of it is the cropping ability and the photo filters.

PhotoFrame: This is another app that creates photo collages, but this app has much more options that the one previously mentioned.  It has options for 1-9 photos, which I love about it.  I’m not someone who constantly posts photo collages, but when I have made them, this app definitely produces the better ones for me.

Mirror Photo: This app is pretty basic.  You pick your photo, you crop it, and then you pick which way you want it mirrored.

BokehPic:  My other favorite photo editing app of the bunch, this app is just incredible when it comes to providing effects for pictures.  It has numerous categories of designs and tons of designs within those categories.  Then, you have the ability to move the placement of the design with your fingertip so that it isn’t covering your face or something along those lines.  The app literally enables you to personalize the photo to your liking.  If you’re looking for one app to do it all, I highly recommend this one!

So there you have it!  That is how I edit my Instagram pictures!  If you have any awesome apps that I should check out or must have, let me know in the comments below.  I’ve become something of an app junkie lately and would love checking out new things! 

Until next time,
