But you can tune the image to your liking. I found the effects and filters in Snapseed to work very well, though some make photos look too dramatic by default. The interface is extremely minimalistic while you're editing, helping you maximize your view of the photo. Tools are laid out in a grid and it's easy to understand what each of them does. Everything is logically laid out and easy to use. You'll be swiping left and right to control the strength of your edits. Snapseed was built from the ground up as a mobile product. It's a nice feature that can help you perfect your photo before sharing on social media. If you don't like how your edits turned out, you can undo the changes or go back to the original photo.įor more advanced users, there's a spot removal brush to help you remove small blemishes from your photos. If you're planning to work with photos in any capacity on your Android, or want to have it just in case, you won't go wrong with an install.All edits are non-destructive, so you don't have to worry about losing the original photo. Snapseed can be found on the Play Store for free, and offers functionality that's worth much more. However, I can say I'm thankful for the 'compare' feature, as it beats having to undo your work to see how much it's changed. By tucking different options away in a vertical swipe menu, it can be difficult to remember what's available especially with oodles of UI space on the button bar, it seems like a waste not to use it. Some minor complaints can be levied at the minimalist nature of the UI, and the reliance on gestures to get things done. You won't find that problem here, unless you're choosing filters that specifically changes what's in focus and what isn't. As any user of that service will tell you, the more you edit, the more the quality degrades sharply.

It also does so without any loss of quality, which is another big improvement over Instagram. While it's not an incredibly fine editing software, Snapseed allows for a greater amount of time and effort to be put into a picture's presentation before it's shared.
