Aesthetic Editing Apps for Creating the Ultimate Instagram and TikTok Content
There are so many photo editing apps to help enhance the quality of your photos! It can be so hard to find which one works best for you! In this blog post, I’ll be sharing my fave photo and video editing apps.
one | tezza app
used for: instagram and tiktok
why I love this app:
wide range of aesthetically pleasing filters
can edit photos and videos
ability to copy & paste edits to multiple photos/videos (I’m a lazy editor so copying and pasting edits over to multiple photos is an absolute game changer)
simple, yet beautiful options for dust effects
effects option = variety of different frames to give your photos/videos a film or stop motion effect and vintage yellow subtitles
two | touch retouch
used for: instagram
why I love this app:
ability to efficiently remove unwanted objects or random things (e.g. telephone lines, random people in the background of your photo, camera dust, scratches etc.) in your photos with a quick click of a button
smoothing out scratches in backgrounds - I have found it to be pretty great for beginners for improving texture or swatch photos
easy to use, few buttons and straight to the point
three | prequel
used for: instagram and tiktok
why I love this app:
so many aesthetic filters and effects like VHS, grain, texture, sparkles, film and more! There are filters and effects for all sorts of photo/video edits!
for videos - intro and outro visual effects
ability to use basic editing functions like the exposure, saturation, highlights, shadows, temperature, blur, glow, etc.
if you want to step up your TikTok filter and effects game, then you might want to consider looking into and trying out prequel
