We’re all guilty of spending a little too much time editing that one photo or taking the same picture over and over again to make sure we get the best shot.
Although a lot of people don’t like Instagram and it can be misleading, it is still a great tool to showcase your life and be apart of other people’s lives. That being said, having the perfect Insta feed has become an obsession and hobby to lots of people! We can spend hours just scrolling through our feeds, and we all want an aesthetically pleasing grid. The challenge is achieving that.
Here are 5 apps that will help to amp up your Instagram and help you achieve your Instagram goals!
If you have an Instagram, you probably also have VSCO Cam. But for those of you who don’t, download it now! This is the easiest way to amp up your Instagram game with tons of fun filters and photo editing tools.
VSCO has lots of presets that can make your photos go from 0 to 100 in a matter of seconds. They’re also customizable, so your photos won’t look like everyone else’s. If filters and presets aren’t for you, there’s also the basic editing tools like brightness, contrast, and saturation to help boost your photo and make it look more professional and cleaned-up.
Lightroom is a must if you love taking serious photographs, but is also great for spicing up your fun pictures as well! This app is excellent if you prefer to custom-edit your pictures and want every option to do that.
Lightroom has tools such as healing, detail, optics, and geometry tools to help escalate your Instagram feed. If you like something, you’ve done to one of your photos you can save it as a preset to use on other images, making all pictures work together seamlessly and give you an impressive Instagram grid.
Pixaloop is a really fun and free app that allows you to animate still photos to make them look like they are moving. This app is great for landscape photos because you can animate the sky, water, the trees, literally anything you want and make the images have some dimension and give a little interest to an otherwise flat image.
You can also save your Pixloops as videos, GIFs, or live phone wallpapers so you can display them multiple ways!
