Adjust colors, remove unnecessary objects, add effects, filters and more - all right on your mobile device.

1. Google Photos

If you need to quickly tweak the brightness, crop or rotate an image, or draw something over it, Google Photos is enough. Preinstalled on most Android devices, this app is great for simple edits. In addition, "Google Photos" allows you to sync pictures between different devices for free.

2. Snapseed

This photo editor, also developed by Google, does a great job with both simple and fast processing and advanced editing. You can adjust colors, correct perspective, rotate and crop images, add text, make spot edits, and more. Another advantage of Snapseed is the complete absence of subscriptions and in-app purchases.

3. Photoshop Express

The mobile version of Photoshop is inferior in capabilities to its desktop counterpart. But well optimized for easy post processing on a small screen. In the arsenal of the application there are various effects, filters, as well as tools for working with proportions, dimensions and perspective. The program allows you to add decorations such as frames, stickers and custom text to your pictures. In addition, Photoshop Express boasts support for RAW formats.

4. Adobe Lightroom

Another Adobe application, Lightroom, offers a much more advanced editor with numerous settings for color, light, and other image parameters. With a $ 5 / month subscription, you'll also get pinpoint and perspective tools and RAW support. The subscription also includes a convenient cross-platform gallery with cloud storage for photos.

5. VSCO

The VSCO app has gained popularity thanks to a collection of really cool filters, albeit mostly paid ones. With their help, it is easy to transform even the most mediocre photo. The program also has a semblance of a social network, where users share their most successful shots, and curators constantly compose collections from which you can endlessly draw inspiration.

6. PicsArt

Multifunctional editor that can work with both photos and videos. Inside you will find tons of automated tools for retouching, cropping, rotating, reshaping images and creating collages. Plus, the editor has enough all kinds of decorative elements: templates, stickers, effects, filters, brushes and more. But to use them without restrictions, you need to subscribe. The cost is 299 rubles per month.

7. Pixlr

Pixlr combines basic photo correction capabilities with a rich set of different overlays, effects, templates and stickers. The app also has a handy collage maker. And the double exposure function allows you to blend multiple shots on the canvas, creating extraordinary photo mixes.
