Image Editor Lite app review: enhance your photos with a variety of effects, frames, stickers, and more

Reviews

Introduction

This app offers all of the basic functionality you would expect from an image editing suite but with a wonderfully easy-to-use interface enabling you to produce some spectacular results with even the lowest-quality images in just a matter of seconds.

I’m very happy with Image Editor Lite; it offers many features that other apps would have you pay for. I’m a little disappointed by the lack of sharing via social networking sites because I imagine that many users of this app would want it for that purpose, but other than that, this is a solid photo enhancement app that I think you’ll be very happy with.

Quick and Easy Photo Enhancement

You’ll find all of the usual features that you’d hope to find in an app like this, including adjustments to contrast, brightness, and color saturation, in addition to tools which you can use to manipulate your images further by cropping, straightening, and rotating them.

Sharpening and blurring tools come as standard, and you’ll also find some great cosmetic tools for removing redeye and blemishes, and even whitening teeth!

I’m particularly interested in these last few features because it’s not often that I come across a free photo editing app that has tools like this; they work very well and there’s practically no learning curve involved because everything is so self-explanatory.

 

Beyond this, there are loads of stickers to add to your images, including some funny items like fake moustaches and sunglasses which are perfect for sprucing up otherwise dull profile pictures.

One minor feature which I thought was a nice touch was the way that certain tools such as the frames and stickers are downloaded separately from within the app, so if you don’t want to use them they won’t need to take up any space on your device; the different is obviously quite negligible but I think this is better than having to download a big clunky app, most of which you may not even use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Full suite of image enhancement tools
  • Easily add stickers, text, and drawings to your images
  • Less common cosmetic tools such as teeth whitener and blemish remover
  • Very easy-to-use layout and user-interface

Cons

  • No in-app sharing of images via social networking sites or Cloud services

 

Final Words

This is an awesome app in my opinion; as I said before, there is a load of content here that you would ordinarily have to pay for with a lot of other similar apps, so I’m very impressed with what the developer has decided to include at no extra cost.

All the usual Instagram-style effects are here too, so you don’t need to worry about not being able to add sepia or grayscale filters to your self-shots if that’s what you want!

All in all, Image Editor Lite is only missing one thing, and that is sharing via Facebook and Twitter; if the developer would add Facebook integration at the very least, it would be very nice to see a tool which lets you change your profile picture and cover image, or at least upload your creations to your wall or your friends’ walls.
