Snapseed
Turn your iPhone and iPad photos into works of art, with a tap. Go black and white, grunge, 1950s/’60s or classic ’70s vintage — even create depth of field and add drama with different effects. You can also rotate your photo 90 degrees, crop it or add a border. And then share it on Facebook, Flickr and Twitter. Or just take another photo, and have fun doing it all over again.
