Snapseed provides an array of advanced editing tools in a much more simplified format compared to professional editing software with the exact same functionality.

Personally, when I am on the go and I don't have my laptop around and I need to make a few intense corrections then I look up to this application as it is very quick, reliable and highly efficient!
It already is highly efficient in the free version but the paid version provides you with numerous different stickers, effects, strokes and much more which would really help you uplift the quality of your image.
3. ADOBE SPARK

5. ADOBE RUSH
Adobe Rush is the 3rd application by Adobe which is on this list and there is a reason why it is so good! Adobe rush is a much simpler version of Adobe Premiere which is a professional video editing software used by the leading filmmakers and videographers of the industry. Adobe rush packs a powerful punch with its extremely user-friendly and simple layout and all the tools needed to make a simple video. It does not have fancy features like keyframes, colour correction and audio design but if you are someone who is just starting to learn and want to produce simple content for their platform then this is for you!
This application also acts as a bridge for someone who wants to edit high quality videos on more complex video editing software like premiere pro but does not know how to, can use this application to learn the basics which would help in understanding the working of premiere pro must more faster and easier.
BONUS
Here are some of my bonus applications I use occasionally to edit my images which also rank high up in my editing list:-
Picsart is a very strongly recommended application for editing on your mobile phone because it packs in a fantastic layout which will be a perfect way to dive into the complex world of Post-processing and editing. Adding to that it also has the best of both worlds that is a few features of photoshop and a few from lightroom.
The only reason it does not come onto my top list is because there have been multiple instances when I have edited the entire image and then the app crashes all the hard work goes down, which slows down my working speed. That's the only drawback which made it rank 6 on my list.
Apart from these, there are a lot of applications you could try out and start editing immediately, I have tried numerous mobile editing applications in search to find a perfect one to serve my needs and to help me make my workflow process much smoother! These applications have worked absolutely flawlessly for me and have proved to be of great use when I am on the move or just lazy.
This wraps it up for now guys, I hope you enjoyed reading this blog and learnt something valuable from it. I will be coming up with more such blogs very soon! so stay tuned. Thank you!
