From the title, you already know about our today’s topic. You guys also will agree with me that this topic should have held the most controversial topic of the year because there are tons of image editing app for Android in the Play Store. From all of them choosing top 10 is like searching a ring in the ocean. I agree that probably 80% of them are like garbage, it’s a little bit harsh but true, but as 70% smartphone user is in android the apps here is also huge. So the number of apps in 20% is not as low as it seems. So finding the top 10 was not easy at all.

Now come to the real story that you guys are here for. Nowadays phone companies are putting top-notch cameras into their phones. The pictures are also good with those cameras but still, sometime you may not like its brightness, contrast, orientation or, you may want to add something to make the photos look catchy. That’s when Photo editing apps come to your rescue. They pack a lot of features and are on par with lightweight desktop editors. Most social media apps already include editors in their interface but those are not enough. So third-party apps for image editing service is still necessary for us.

After doing a lot of digging, surveying and discussing with some professional designer from the future brand “Clipping World” I came up with these top 10 photo editing apps for android described below.

Note: This list isn’t in an order of preference; it’s a compilation of the best photo editing apps for Android. You’re advised to choose one as per your need.
