11 best alternatives to Instagram

By

Instagram is pretty much the ideal application for those who like to take pictures, edit them with various filters and then share them with your friends. In addition to being completely free, the app acts as a true social network for those photos and still allows integration with other networks, such as Facebook. Even so, not everyone is content with the app, after all, many say that their filters only spoil the photos and that it does not offer many useful options for editing images. If you are also thinking about changing Instagram or just want to know about other options, just check our list with the 11 best alternatives to Instagram!

1. Snapseed

To begin with, we have Snapseed, one of the most popular photo apps used on Android devices and iPhones. To get an idea of its quality, the app was once considered one of the best in its class by specialized vehicles.

With it, you have dozens of editing options (which do not cause any image quality damage to your photos) that you would not easily find in other such applications. Snapseed also offers powerful image correction tools, more advanced settings, and various amazing effects and filters. Click here to download it on Android or here to download it on the iPhone.

2. Autodesk Pixlr

Another great free option to replace Instagram is Autodesk Pixlr – formerly called Pixlr-o-Matic – which is infinitely more complete than its competitor when it comes to effects, layering options, filters, frames and everything else you can imagine of a photography app.

You can take pictures directly with the app to edit them or choose an existing one in your gallery to apply the effects you prefer. You can share your images on Facebook, Flicker and even Dropbox if you want. To download the app on Android click here and to download it on the iPhone just click here.

3. Snapchat

The direct competitor of Instagram, obviously, is also one of the best alternatives to the relative social network of Facebook. The spontaneity of the publications – which last only 24 hours – and the large selection of filters, emojis and stickers make Snapchat very popular, to the point that Instagram itself launches Stories, which works similarly to the phantom social network. Check out our comparison between Instagram Stories and Snapchat in this text!

4. Hipstamatic

Unlike our beloved Instagram, Hipstamatic is not free and can only be found on the App Store for iPhones these days. Still, we can say that the price is relatively low for what app can offer its users.

It has a cool interface that mimics an old camera, perfect for those who love a more retro look in their images. Hipstamatic also offers several album options (some can be shared with your friends) and you can even apply effects even before taking a photo. This lets you know exactly how your image will look, giving you the chance to change the filter first. You can download the app through this link.

5. Camera +

Another paid and for now, only photo app available on the App Store for iPhones and iPads is Camera +, which gives you much more efficient and editing options than you can find in Apple’s native camera app.

Fortunately, it costs less than $ 2 and its functions and tools are worth the price. The cool thing is that Camera + helps you take good pictures right away, to minimize the need for editing, which obviously makes life easier for the user. Of course, there are various effects, filters, and ways to edit your image if you wish. To download the app, just click on this link.

6. Adobe Photoshop Express

You can not talk about photo editing apps without mentioning the world’s largest image editor, right? Photoshop also has its official version for mobile devices, be it for Android or Apple devices.

With this app, you have access to several legal filters, tools to correct images and many options to edit your photos in a simple and intuitive way. Although very good, this app does not offer as many options for those who want to enhance their images in the same way as some of the applications we mentioned here. You can download Photoshop on Android through this link or you can click here to download it on the iPhone.

7. WhatsApp Status

After the release of Instagram Stories, other services such as the WhatsApp messenger have also implemented instant publications that self-destruct within an hour. Before just one sentence, WhatsApp Status now can be a complete story, told through photos and videos made from the messenger himself. All that was left was the fixed posts and the flood of hashtags.

8. Flickr

Flickr is another of the applications that serve as alternatives to Instagram that we could not fail to mention in our list since it has always been one of the most popular image storage services on the internet. Nowadays, it is also possible to use your official app to take, edit and share images wherever you are.

It has many cool options for filters and effects and allows you to correct your photos with very advanced tools. In addition to being able to store everything on Flickr itself (which has more than 1TB of free storage), you can share your photos on Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr. Click here to download it on Android or this link to download it on your iPhone or iPad.

9. Facebook Messenger Day

Facebook invested so heavily in the Snapchat framework that even Messenger received an update called Facebook Messenger Day. The difference between it, Instagram Stories and WhatsApp Status are that this time, your stories are sent exclusively to one of your contacts or group conversations. Learn how to use it and start sending stories to your friends in this walkthrough!

10. EyeEm

How about a social network where your photos can be sold for websites to use? EyeEm is one of the alternatives to Instagram for anyone who is a fan of photography and wants to start working in the area. That is, in addition to social networking EyeEm works as a kind of digital marketplace for photographers and aspirants. It is available as an Android or iOS app, and can also be accessed by the browser.

11. Retrica

Retrica is a perfect application for your selfies, with a large selection of filters and stickers to apply on your cameras. One of the advantages is the ability to apply the filters before taking the photo, allowing you to evaluate whether the filter will look good without taking the picture. You can also create GIFs through the app, as well as share your creations on Instagram itself. Download Retrica for Android or iPhone.
