The time has come for a topic that we think interests many: how to edit images on smartphone? We dealt with this topic marginally when we proposed some alternatives to Photoshop. In that case we mainly focused on the characteristics of the product Adobe and then find applications that behaved in a more or less similar way.
In that case, in fact, we had also given priority to applications that allowed you to open and modify files with the extension .PSD, with today's article we are not interested in the comparison with Adobe Photoshop and we are talking exclusively about applications for editing images on smartphones. As often happens we will mainly talk about applications for Android. This is because in the meantime there is application development Open source much more active. And then for a much more banal reason: at the moment we don't have collaborators who use Apple products and we can't test certain applications.
Edit images on smartphone
Now let's see what we found. In the meantime, let's start by telling you that some applications that back up photos, such as Body, they also allow you to make small changes to photos.
Pocket Paint
Open source
It's one of the applications Open source more complete for Android: there are several tools for editing images. It is in fact possible to paint with the brush by changing size and color, erase parts of images or draw lines and shapes on it. You can use advanced tools such as “fill” or insert text. It is obviously also possible to rotate and transform the image and there are also many other useful tools such as the stamp, the pipette or watercolor.
Phimp.me
Open source
Another interesting alternative for editing photographs that can also be used as a camera. You can make some changes such as adding filters or frames as well as obviously the classic rotation and transformation. Unfortunately the application has not been updated for a while and may have some bugs, however if you want to test it it is still available.
Simple Gallery Pro
Open source
This application is part of the legendary suite Simple Mobile Tools which, as you may already know, is famous for producing simple but decidedly effective and well-functioning applications. You can crop photographs, flip them and make small adjustments with the brush. There are also several filters!
Litrato
Open source
This is also an excellent application for making small changes to your photographs: you can rotate them, cut them, turn them and change their brightness and contrast. It is also possible to add text but one of its peculiarities are the filters: it is in fact possible to add different filters on the photographs.
Unfortunately it can only be downloaded on IzzyOnDroid or by directly taking the installation file from GitHub.
Image Resizer
Open source
A very simple application for quickly and hassle-free resizing of images. You can resize them both individually and multiple images at once. It's truly a great tool to keep on your smartphone for any occasion.
•PrivacyBlur
Open source
This is an old acquaintance of ours, if you remember well, in fact we also have them dedicated an article. It is a very interesting application as it allows you to pixelate parts of photographs: you can therefore use it to obscure people's faces before uploading photos online or to hide objects or other parts of the photograph.
It works very well and is really very simple to use.
LLCrop (loss less)
Open source
If your goal is just to crop a piece of photo then this is probably the simplest, fastest and most practical application. All you can do is crop a piece of photo, the crop will then be saved without losing any quality. They are also preserved i image metadata.
PhotoAffix BETA
Open source
If your need is to put together multiple images to make interesting collages then you might be interested in PhotoAffix BETA. Unfortunately the project seems a bit abandoned having been in beta for 3 years and not receiving updates since 2020. If you still want to try it we'll leave you the links.
Perspective
Open source
A decidedly niche application but we highlight it because it can always be useful on some occasions. Perspective in fact, it allows you to change the perspective of your photographs (even with an automatic function). For now it is only available on IzzyOnDroid.
