Toggle Dark Mode
When your regular iPhone editing tools and Instagram filters won’t cut it, you’ll want to check out these 7 photo editing apps to get the best effects and most helpful tools to really make your photos shine:
Polamatic
Polaroid cameras are making a comeback. And although our iPhones can’t yet print photos on their own, you can still give them a polaroid effect by using Polamatic. With a user friendly interface, real camera sounds, and a “shake or blow to develop” feature, Polamatic is the closest thing to having an actual polaroid camera. Get it here.
Picfx
With over 100 effects, Picfx is a strong contender for one of the most comprehensive photo apps. The effects are bundled into groupings like classic, vintage, grunge, light, urban, and more. Carefully layers these effects on top of one another with the plus or minus symbols to unique photo effects. You can also add photo filters like Sepia, Dark, Vintage and more with the paintbrush icon. Get it here.
Whitagram
Ever wonder how your friends are posting full photos to Instagram without having to succumb to the square crop feature? Whitagram is the answer. The free app allows you add a white background to both portrait and landscape photos. Whitagram also gives you access to the editing tools available in both Aviary and Camera+ (must have Camera+ installed to choose that function). Get it here.
Darkroom
Distributed by Bergen Co. and advertised as “creative control for you photos,” this powerful photo editor comes with cool features like custom filters, curves for custom tones, and easy sharing capabilities. Dubbed by The Verge as the “Best New App,” Darkroom has standard editing tools like fade and vignette in addition to an infinite history and autosave function. Get it here.
Snapseed
Made by Google, Snapseed is a photo editor with a lot of power. Retouch, edit, and adjust with this snappy app. Snapseed also comes with a host of effects and filters that can turn your photo vintage, grainy, black and white, and more.

Boasting over 400 effects, Pho.tolab is a photo editing app that has stylish frames, holiday e-card templates, photo montages and more right at your fingertips.
