Instagram has equipped us to form connections with fellow creative small business owners, clients, and friends. Aside from loving its’ ability to help us connect, it’s also so much fun to curate! There is something so fun about curating a feed with purpose — curating an online space for showcasing our work. Beyond your website, Instagram can be an extension of your brand and help your business to flourish. Today, we’re excited to share our 3 favorite Instagram photo editing apps!

3 Instagram Photo Editing Apps

1. PicTapGo – The best part of PicTapGo is that you are able to save ‘recipes’ so that in one quick press of a button, your photos are all edited in the same way. Of course, we like to personalize each one, because most likely, lighting was different at the time of each photo. But, overall, it’s easy and flexible to use.
2. VSCO – Many businesses use VSCO because of its flexibility, and many options for editing. We also like this app, because it keeps track of your edited photos within the app itself, so even if you don’t end up posting your photo on Instagram, you can still have a quick resource to access all your edited photos. Once you get the hang of it, VSCO is flexible, and has a ton of editing options!
3. AfterLight – While we don’t use this one as often, it’s still a good one that a lot of people like to use and swear by. What we like most about this app is the variety of filters! There is seriously something for everyone, whether you like naturally-edited photos, or something with a bit more interest. There are also custom shapes and hand-drawn wallpapers available! It’s definitely worth trying out for your business!
4. Lightroom Mobile – Lightroom Mobile is user-friendly, especially because many photographers offer Mobile Lightroom presets to use within the app, to help you create a specific style and aesthetic. While there are a variety of settings within Lightroom Mobile, if you use presets, editing your photography can be done seamlessly, with just a tap!
