Now that Instagram is shifting towards an algorithmic feed like Facebook, it’s even more important for you to create photos that stand out in the crowd. But as great as Instagram’s filters are, its editing features are not nearly as powerful as those in the best photo editing apps. Third-party apps for editing and creating videos and photos offer more precision and can improve the entire look of your posts. And beautifully edited photos can lead to more likes and more Instagram followers.

If you just upload different kinds of Instagram pictures and follow your friends and family members, then creating a large number of followers doesn’t matter. But if you promote your own business on Instagram, then it’s crucial to boost your page engagements and followers. For your website to gain credibility on social media, it should have good content and as far as Instagram is concerned, your pictures should be high quality.

Four of the best photo editing apps

Let’s check out few of the best photo editing apps to help you gain more Instagram followers — or more followers on any of your social pages.

Layout — collages appInstagram Layout collages app

Layout (pictured here and at top of page) is a useful and simple photo editor and collages app from Instagram that helps you combine photos to create collages in different combinations and styles. Probably the best thing about making collages is that you only need to upload one picture to Instagram, instead of a three or five or more. And since a photo can speak a thousand words, a collage can say even more than individual pictures could separately.

Boomerang — mini videos app

Do you like to see your Instagram followers always engaged with anything you post? If yes, then you might try Instagram’s Boomerang app. This app breaks up the monotonous flow of random posts, by shooting a series of 10 different photos and turning them into mini videos or animated GIFs. The increased engagement you’ll get from your Boomerang mini videos can be one of the most lucrative ways of luring people to your Instagram page and winning more Instagram followers.
