Photo editing and social network, all in one
One the many useful features of modern smartphones, apart from their instant messaging capacities that allow us to be connected to friends and family 24/7, is definitely their photo cameras and the possibility to instantly capture any moment. Or isn't it one of the aspects you rate the most when it comes to choosing a new phone? Android phones are incorporating better and better cameras, to such an extent that digital cameras are almost in disuse. Why? Well, apart from being much more comfortable to carry around a single gadget in our pocket, we also have to point out the proliferation of photo editing applications of the likes of Photoshop, B612 or Aviary, which allow us to enhance and modify our pics straight from our phone before uploading them to our favorite social networks. And among the latter, we obviously need to point out PicsArt Photo Studio APK. Download PicsArt Photo Studio Android carry around a powerful photo enhancement tool in your pocket.
A powerful photo editor, collage creator and drawing tool.
PicsArt Photo Studio APK is a tool that goes way beyond the simple editing of photos with which we can edit pics, create collages, apply filters and effects or add stickers. What makes it different to other similar applications is its huge social component as it allows us to discover nearby users, follow other artists, take part in daily challenges and share all our creations online straight from the platform's own social network. As it says in its name, a real photo studio in the palm of our hand.
What Seffects will I find in PicsArt?
It might be easier to answer the question which effects and filters aren't available in this Android application that also has a free version for PCs equipped with Windows 8.1 and 10 (Windows 7 and Mac users aren't in luck this time around), as well as iPhone and iPad. Because the truth is that there are more than 1,000 different enhancements to be applied to turn your images into real works of art: blur effects, artistic effects, mirror effects, pixel-art effects, characterization effects, fisheye effects, spiral effects...

Which one's better? PicsArt, Snapseed, Instagram or Retrica?
As always when it comes to discussing whether one application is better than another, everything will depend on how we use it. Snapseed, for instance, is a very complete and professional editor but it may lack the vast amount of artistic effects present in PicsArt and neither does it put special emphasis on the social functions of the latter. Totally the opposite of Instagram that's mainly focused on applying filters and sharing images online but with fewer possibilities than the app we're reviewing today. With regards to Retrica, it's a great photo and video editor, with the capacity to create GIFs but that's also missing some more social functions. Are any of them better than the others? Only you can answer that question once you download PicsArt Photo Studio Android and put it up to the other alternatives.
