Best Apps To Make Your Photos And Videos Wonderful On Instagram

You want to gain followers and engagement in an organic way, what is clear is that this is the network in which an image is worth a thousand words. If you want to be successful on Instagram, the quality of your photos and videos is of the utmost importance. And although this network offers a few built-in options for editing photos, videos, and Stories, the truth is that the most demanding users fall short.

Adobe Lightroom CC

Adobe is the leading platform when it comes to photo editing and manipulation. With its application, Adobe Lightroom CC, you can use a lot of advanced tools to achieve just the effect you are looking for.

 For example, you can fine-tune color and exposure, use one-touch editing capabilities, correct perspective, and more. A perfect option to improve your photography skills and become an expert.

Afterlight Photo Editor

They say that the secret to taking good pictures is knowing how to use light, and this application helps you control it perfectly.

With Afterlight, you have more than 50 filters and adjustable textures to improve the color and temperature of your photos. You also have a great function to control the intensity of the flash, so you don’t have to worry about taking burnt photos or having to correct red eyes afterward.

VSCO

VSCO is one of the most complete options to edit and retouch your photos on Instagram. It has more than 100 options especially designed for photos taken with the mobile phone. For example, you can improve a lot of technical aspects like cropping, saturation, exposure, focus, temperature, or contrast.

But what makes VSCO truly special is its community. You can create a profile in the app and share your creations with other users to get inspired and inspire others

Photoshop Express

Black

We could say that Black is the opposite application to the previous one since it focuses exclusively on creating good black and white photos.

An amazing application to give your photos artistic effects and make them look like a drawing or a painting. Plus, it has advanced effects like masking parts of an image, double exposure, and more.

Foodie

No matter how delicious a food is, without the right tools to portray it, it will most likely end up looking like cat food. Foodie solves this problem through 24 filters specialized in gastronomic creations and personalized suggestions to make your photo want to lick the screen.

Mextures

If textures are your thing, be sure to take a look at this application. Mextures has more than 200 formulas to edit images in one click, created by professional photographers. For example, you can imitate the grain of the film or the effect of dust.

The  GIF takes decades to fascinate the entire Internet. And with this application, you can use them very easily in your videos on Instagram.

Boomerang’s main function is to shoot a “blast” of 10 photos and turn them into a short mini-video that moves from side to side. You can share the result directly on Instagram or save it on your reel for another time.
