Best Free Photo Editing Apps for iPhone and Android

Faceapp

Faceapp has become one of the most popular photo editor application in a short period of time. The app comes with many great features that allow you to change your style and the way you look. It’s not just about the filter, but some more great things that the app can do.

Faceapp is probably the best app so far that detects your face and allows to make you look older and younger. It seems someone has finally programmed Face Detection feature correctly. However, the app only changes your face. So if you are young and want to make yourself look older using the app that means just your face will look older and not the other parts of your body. You get to use just a few features for free that also applies Watermark on the picture. If you want to unlock all the features, you will have to subscribe to its premium subscription. So it’s going to an ongoing monthly/yearly expenditure that also makes FaceTime one of the most expensive app. You can still enjoy free trial and test of the features.
