Ever Wanted to Make Your Photos Look More Professional? My favorite android image editors

My friend recently asked me for a recommendation on on an image editor for android. He wanted to primarily use for improving the looks of some of his photos.

I quickly tried several editors based on other reviews. And here is my conclusion.

  1. First off I tried Bonfire.

Pros
  • It has lots of great features and has nice sliders (friendly user interface) for adjusting lots of the filters
  • In my opinion has all you need for improving the look of your photos
  • Lots of effects
Cons
  • Once it came to saving photos I was disappointed. It doesn't save the image in the original resolution, but saves them based on your settings which you can set up to 6144x6144, but who wants to save there photos in higher resolution than the original.
 You can get it from playstore here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gogoinv.bonfire.android


  2. Next I tried Fotor

Pros
  • Like bonfire it has lots of filters and effects
  • All you need for improving your photos
Cons
  • The user interface isn't as friendly as bonfire's. It doesn't have sliders to adjust the filters.

  3. Finally I tried Snapseed. My favorite of them all

Pros
  • The best user interface in my opinion (No clutter at all).
  • Has all the filters you need to improve your photos
  • Plenty of effects
  • Can edit raw photos
Cons
  • May not have as many filters and effects as some other editors 
Get it form Google play here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.niksoftware.snapseed 


  4. An editor that I've used a lot before I tried new/different editors is the one called Image Editor

Pros
  • Supports layers
  • Multiple tabs/projects
  • Plenty of filters
  • Can do the usual canvas or free layer manipulation
Cons
  • For adjusting the filters it doesn't have the best interface (no sliders)
