The wildly popular photo sharing app called Instagram lets you instantly upload and share your photographs with your friends and family. But few people know that Instagram, by itself, is not such a magical app as it appears to be. It suffers from several drawbacks. For example, it allows the user to upload only one picture at a time, does not give the option of captioning a photo, restricts the photo size to only a square shaped image etc. To counter these problems, we have discovered some new simple apps which will make your Instagram experience all the more better and will allow you to make your pictures even more beautiful by applying suitable filters.
Photogrid
One major drawback of Instagram is that it allows users to upload only one photo at a time. This not only wastes a lot of time of the users but is also a huge inconvenience. The Photogrid app gives a solution to this problem. It lets you create photo albums and select up to 15 photographs at a time to be placed in a grid. The photos in the grid can then be rearranged and put in different layouts before saving the whole portfolio and uploading it.
Phonto
Certain photographs require a caption or some text to make them even more memorable, especially when you want to tell a story through the photos. The Phonto app comes in handy as it gives the option of inserting text in the photos, that too in a variety of font styles and colours!
Instasize
Want to upload a big group photograph and Instagram is forcing you to crop someone off because their photo format just doesn’t allow that big an image? Well, face this harassing situation no more with the Instasize app which automatically sizes the photo to fit into the size designated by Instagram, without cropping anyone off! It also offers several other enhancements such as filters, borders and shadings which will only improve the quality of the pictures.
Flipagram
Many users don’t like to make a collage or a photo album. They would rather like the photos to be played in sequence. Well, through Flipagram you can now create a slideshow video of a selected group of photos. What is truly a stroke of genius is that you can also add a music track to the video which can include any one of the several songs which Flipagram has to offer.
Snapseed
Although Instagram has a lot of photo editing options, sometimes they just might not be enough for some users. For such users who want their picture to be absolutely perfect, Snapseed is the app to go for. This app lets you edit your pictures to such an extent that no matter how bad a camera you had used to take the photo, the end result makes the photo look like a professional photograph. Snapseed can alter the brightness, contrast and saturation level of any photograph to give you some really high quality photos to be shared through Instagram.
