Keep reading for more of the best Instagram editing apps for this new year 2022.
11. Prequel
If you’re looking for artsy effects, this is the app for you: it’s free and gives you tons of fun photo presets for both photos and videos.
This app provides you with everything from moody film noir-style effects to adorable stickers (this preset is titled “Cutie”).
Prequel Premium is $6.49/ week (that comes out to around $340/ year). And you will have access to all effects and filters, advanced editing tools, a retouch toolkit, and weekly app updates.
12. PicCollage
PicCollage is a collage-making app that’s very simple to use (though be warned, the free version does stamp a small watermark onto your final edit).
A multitude of grids and templates are available in various shapes and sizes in this app. You can change the brightness/contrast/etc in each individual image in the grid.
PicCollage VIP costs $48/ year. It earns you watermark-less collages and unlocks exclusive fonts, features, and stickers.
13. Instasize
Instasize is free and provides the same kinds of filters and editing tools that other apps do. However, one of its most special features is resizing images specifically for Instagram.
Before the editing process begins, you choose the best size dimensions for the photo (a square post, landscape, Instagram story, etc.) to make sure that none of your hard work gets cut off once the image is published.
Instasize Premium is $5 a month and unlocks extra photo editing tools and filters.
14. Bazaart
If your Stories are feeling boring, Bazaart is the app to turn to.
This app provides you with many easy-to-use graphics and templates for eye-catching content and has dedicated categories for advertising, sales, invitations, and seasonal celebrations for your brand.
You can edit videos in this app, too.
Bazaart Premium is $12.49 monthly and unlocks more features and content, including a background remover and repair function.
15. Fotor
Fotor’s features include retouching, a collage tool, cropping, resizing, adding text, and a pretty fun background remover.
The paid version (Fotor Pro) offers you advanced editing features, effects, and no ads, plus the ability to sync across multiple devices for $50 a year.
16. Filto
Filto specializes in filters (surprise surprise!) and also offers stickers, text, and canvas adjustments.
The free version does put a small watermark on your finished photos—to remove that and unlock all filters, upgrade to pro for $48/ year.
6 of the best Instagram video editing apps
From basic clip trimming to cool transitions and music, here are the top 6 apps that can transform videos into engaging and compelling content.
17. Capcut
Capcut is a video editing app that has features like splitting clips, reordering videos, adding overlays and text, as well as effects, filters, and a music library.
The app has an intuitive user interface and makes assembling clips easy. Best of all, it’s totally free.
18. Splice
When you first download Splice, you can choose your video editing experience (choices range from “None” to “Advanced”).
You can also share information about what kinds of videos you want to create and what you hope your audience will get from them—this information helps the app suggest different templates and effects.
Splice’s video features provide both basic and advanced editing tools, speed effects, overlays, and 4K exports.
The app is free to download, and the Pro version ($12.49/month) has an animated photo feature, music, and captions.
19. KineMaster
The KineMaster app features video editing with multiple layers, chroma-key, speed control, reverse, and more.
There’s also a huge stock of stickers, music, and effects (over 2,000 items).
Note: Kinemaster only displays in landscape mode, which is better for video editing, anyway.
The free version of KineMaster has ads and puts a watermark on your videos. For an ad- and watermark-free experience, upgrade for $5.49/ month.
20. InShot
InShot’s video features have clip trimming and merging, filters, text, music, speed adjustments and cropping.
The app also has a library of clips that you can use for intros, outros, and transitions.
InShot Pro ($18.49 a year or a one-time purchase of $48) comes with more transitions, effects, and stickers. The Pro version is also ad-free and won’t watermark your final project.
21. Vimeo Create
The Vimeo Create app is a very basic video editing app for beginners—you can assemble photos and videos into a template and include text, but you can’t trim, cut or merge your video footage on the mobile app.
The free app can be used to create videos that are a maximum of 30 seconds long, and they export with a watermark like the one below.
The Pro version grants you access to 60-second videos, custom brand assets, a library of stock images, and watermark-free downloads — all for $33 a month.
22. Picsart
This user-friendly video editor includes tools for trimming, splitting, and adjusting the speed of your clips.
It’s a photo editor, too, and it comes with artsy templates for giving images an extra creative kick.
The paid version of the app removes the watermark from downloads and gives you access to more photo editing features (like freeze and reverse functions) for $77 a year.
Now, you have great Instagram photos and videos ready to post. Don’t forget to write great captions for engaging more audiences on Instagram.
