Sharing photos on social media and your website is currently the most important part of any creator's life and journey, and the right photo editing software may elevate your photos to a whole new level.


As a result, we have chosen a few editing tools beside Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop to edit the photographs on desktop and mobile devices.


I) Snapseed ( Overall Rating : 9/10 )



  • Of the most popular mobile apps among photographers. Users of both Android and iOS devices can easily download Snapseed.

  • Snapseed is quite simple to use, and the application's capabilities and clarity are both simple and fantastic. It's all in one photo editing apps for both experts and amateur photographers and people of all ages can use it.

Here are some of the application's benefits and drawbacks.


Pro's:

  1. Snapseed comes with a few built-in presets that can be used to alter a photo without doing any further manual effort.

  2. Snapseed gives you complete control over the image and allows you to edit Raw files.

  3. Unlike Lightroom/Photoshop, it does not require any in-app purchases and is free to use.

  4. Second, there aren't any in-app advertisements, and won't interfere with your job in any manner.

Con's:

  1. The built-in presets are pretty generic and not at all like those in Lightroom or Photoshop. Therefore, most photographers opt to work manually rather than using presets and then save the manual effort as a preset.

  2. Snapseed is a relatively sophisticated program that can be challenging for beginners.

  3. Videos cannot be changed with Snapseed, which is solely a photo-editing application.


II) VSCO ( Overall Rating : 8.5/10 )



  • The popular VSCO app, a creation of the Visual Company, is also in the works. Another popular usage for it is by photographers who want to add filters and emoticons to their images. VSCO is easily downloaded by both Android and iOS users, however iOS users are more favored by the software.

The following are some Pro's and Con's of the application.


Pro's:

  1. Just like any other editing tool, VSCO lets you experiment with sharpness, brightness, and other variables related to photo editing.

  2. Editors have a clear and well-defined user interface.

  3. The application offers suggestions based on the actions taken within the app.

  4. The editor can enhance his or her photographs using free filters that are provided.

  5. VSCO has its own community of creators, including photographers, videographers, and others, and all of them are able to follow and post photographs/videos on the platform.

  6. VSCO also enables users to edit videos in the best way possible.


Con's :

  1. The application offers a large number of premium filters. In-app purchases are thus available. Although the application is completely free to download.

  2. It can only be downloaded using a mobile device; a desktop or laptop cannot download it.


III) Pics Art ( Overall Rating : 7.5/10 )



  • An extremely popular app that has been on everyone's phone for a very long time, even before Snapseed entered the scene, and many creators used to edit photographs only using this app. However, since the release of numerous apps like Snapseed, VSCO, Lightroom, and many more, the app has been in its twilight years.


The following are some Pro's and Con's of the application.


Pro's:

  1. Users of mobile devices (IOS and Android) and desktop/laptop computers (Windows and MAC) can download the app.

  2. The editor's user interface is clear and simple to use.

  3. To stylize the photographs without doing any additional manual work, there is a big collection of filters and built-in presets.

  4. Collage creating is another option.

  5. Images can be easily and instantly shared on social media.


Con's :

  1. There are in-app purchases available and many filters are paid.

  2. The application occasionally operates slowly and crashes.
