The best photo editing apps in your mobile

At Hofmann we are aware that the mobile cannot take better photos than a camera and that the fewer retouches the photos have, the more real they are, however, sometimes a filter, a crop in the image, or a different frame can make our photos very pretty.

Today mobiles take amazing photos and also as we live glued to the mobile, we always have them at that perfect moment: a landscape, a hug from two brothers, a sunset, the worst gift in history…

Then, once the moment is captured, a few filters can be applied here and there, and we can even get to have photos. These are some photo editing apps that you can use to have better photos.

Pixlr – Free Photo Editor

This free application allows you to create collages with different formats, backgrounds, and spaces, create photos with double exposure, add different fonts to your images, as well as retouch lights, brightness, and colors.

Snapseed – Complete editing tool for iOS and Android

Snapseed is one of the most complete free photo editing apps on the market.

The filters are the most authentic and smooth so that your photos look like they have no retouching; It features saturated, vintage-looking, warm, black and white filters, and you can always calibrate the intensity of the filters.
