Snapseed is a complete photo editor developed by Google. No ads, just editing. == KEY FEATURES== • Over 25 tools and filters, including: Healing, brush, structure, HDR, perspective (see list below) • Opens JPG and RAW files • Save your personal looks and apply them to new photos later • Selective filter brush • All styles can be tweaked with fine, precise control == TOOLS, FILTERS AND FACE == • RAW develop – open and tweak native camera files; save non-destructively or export as JPG • Tune image – adjust exposure and colour automatically or manually with fine, precise control • Details – magically brings out surface structures in images • Crop – crop to standard sizes or freely • Rotate – rotate by 90° or straighten a skewed horizon • Perspective – fix skewed lines and perfect the geometry of horizons or buildings • White balance – adjust the colours so that the image looks more natural • Brush – selectively retouch exposure, saturation, brightness or warmth • Selective – the renown 'control point' technology: Position up to eight points on the image and assign enhancements; the algorithm does the rest magically • Healing – remove the uninvited neighbour from a group picture • Vignette – add a soft darkness around the corners like a beautiful, wide-aperture would do • Text – add both stylised or plain text (38 predefined styles) • Curves – have precise control over the brightness levels in your photos • Expand – increase the size of your canvas and fill up the new space in smart ways with content of your image • Lens Blur – add a beautiful bokeh to images (background softening), ideal for photographic portraits • Glamour glow – add a fine glow to images; great for fashion or portraits • Tonal contrast – boost details selectively in the shadows, midtones and highlights • HDR Scape – bring a stunning look to your images by creating the effect of multiple exposures • Drama – add a hint of doomsday to your images • Grunge – an edgy look with strong styles and texture overlays • Grainy film – get modern film looks with realistic grain • Vintage – the style of colour film photo from the 50s, 60s or 70s • Retrolux – go retro with light leaks, scratches, film styles • Noir – black and white film looks with realistic grain and the 'wash' effect • Black and white – classic black and white look straight out of the darkroom • Frames – add frames with adjustable size • Double exposure – blend two photos, choosing from blend modes that are inspired by shooting on film and by digital image processing • Face enhance – add focus to the eyes, add face-specific lighting or smoothen skin • Face pose – correct the pose of portraits based on three-dimensional models

Surprisingly Great

Scrolling through today’s App Store, it’s really hard to find photo editors that don’t have use a subscription model for income (though the majority are vastly overpriced). This app is completely free. Literally nothing is locked behind a paywall. It offers a wide selection of photo editing tools and is seriously performant. Being a constant Lightroom user, being able to make multiple masks and layers without any performance drop is incredible. I can’t say it enough.However, i rated this 4 stars instead of 5 because of it’s lack of a few specific tools or features - most notably, no HSL editing and, frustratingly, no undo button (at least not in masking mode). The lack of those two crucial features is basically Snapseed’s only downside for me. Everything else is genuinely excellent.

Aside from being free, I love the apps UI is touch optimised, I can swipe up and down to change between parameters within a tool, makes the interface a lot cleaner and easier to use and progressively learn, instead of bombarding me with a whole of tools.I do 90% of my edits in Affinity, but occasionally it’s nice to have a handy tool to import a photo to the photo and tweak it on the fly. I’m not really one to use a whole lot of preset filters and never buy those in app purchases, so having an app with intuitive tooling is really nice.One suggestion I will make is to have the photos extension so I can open a photo directly from the Photos edit menu and perform edits (in contrast, the import/export/save options are really the noticeably worst experience of the whole app)

I love Snapseed photo editing tool and use it constantly on both my iPhone and my iPad. It is not over complicated and is so easy to use. It can make almost any photo look great. This review would have certainly been a 5 star rating except that I have recently bought a new Apple Mac M1 and prior to purchasing the laptop I had read that Snapseed was available for Mac OS. I was so excited to be able to use Snapseed and be able to edit my photos on my Mac M1 laptop only to be bitterly disappointed that it is not available on Mac OS after all. Please tell me a Mac OS compatible version will be released soon. 🙏 No other editing app comes close to the usability of Snapseed, my favourite photo editing tool.

Great app but please support more cameras Raw files

This application is great. I have recently been testing Snapseed vs Lightroom CC and I believe Snapseed comes out on top because it has all the capabilities and functions that Lightroom currently lacks and can only be accessed in the desktop variant. I only have one criticism, please increase your support for other cameras raw files. I have a Fujifilm x70 that I’d love to use with this program to edit raw files but unfortunately it is not currently supported. The Fuji x100t is currently supported and has the same sensor and processor as the x70...

Get ready for more precise creative control. This update introduces two powerful ways to edit your photos: ◆ One-touch masking: Editing specific objects and regions in your photo got faster and more precise. Just tap on an object to instantly create a mask, then use the brush to fine-tune the area. All your adjustments will apply only where you want them. ◆ The new Colour tool: Take full control of the colours in your image. Select a colour – like the blue of the sky – and adjust its hue, saturation and luminance to get the exact look that you want. Enjoy the new, more precise way to edit! Team Snapseed
