5 Apps To Create The Best Instagram Posts
Written by Trinity Duong
Instagram is a creative tool that we have at the touch of our fingers (literally) every single day. For most people, it can be the only form of creativity they encounter for weeks. We have access to posts by artists, musicians, photographers, small and big businesses as well as simple creators and influencers. This gives us insight into really ambitious and creative fields. Because of this, our knowledge along with our creativity will grow and it’s very easy to find harmonious inspiration in seconds.
But let’s go beyond Instagram. Let’s question what goes into it. How do creators curate their Instagram? What do they do in order to layout their photos in the same genre of colors? Why are we so drawn to it? How do I inspire others in the same fashion?
Here are 5 of the best apps to help you curate and edit your Instagram photos.
1) VSCO
All I can say about VSCO is it’s a classic. It’s definitely one of the first editing applications that most people download. It gives you access to numerous amounts of filters and allows you to create your own filters through tools such as saturation, highlights, skin tone, white balance… It’s also an application where you can connect with friends and have your future Instagram posts validated beforehand through favoriting and reposting images.
2) Unfold
Unfold is an incredible tool specifically for your Instagram stories. It gives you various templates to import your edited photos into to produce an aesthetically pleasing story. You have access to way more fonts, stickers and background colours then what Instagram provides. With this app, you can level up your Instagram stories and curate an extremely refined aesthetic not used by anyone else.
3) Glitché
Glitché is the ultimate tool to create cutting-edge photo and video artistry. It is number one in Photo and Video apps for 130 countries. Its outstanding visual effects include 3-D transformations, color distortion, VHS aesthetics, as well as digital glitches. It also provides additional face filters for the best Instagram stories. It has been used by notable creators such as Kylie Jenner, Gigi Hadid, Heron Preston, and many more. With this photo editing app, you will be able to create unique and rare designs that aren’t normally realized by others. Set yourself apart with Glitché!
4) Dazz Cam
Dazz Cam is an editing application that is basically any camera you want in your pocket. It’s specifically known for its incredible layouts that give a vintage and polaroid aesthetic. They are the most realistic film photography app constructed based on film proofs that restore the color, texture, and noise of film cameras from the 80s. If you don’t want to splurge on your own film camera this easy and accessible app is the way to go to get the same aesthetic.
5) UNUM
After all the creativity pours out from playing with the colors and design of specific photos, UNUM is an app you should turn to in order to create the perfect Instagram layout. By connecting your Instagram it allows you to plan and visualize content ahead of time. You can add potential new posts to the grid and see how it incorporates with the rest of your feed.
The creators of this app really value storytelling as an art and science and see beyond just creating. They believe in planning and strategic storyboarding in order to properly brand yourself and/or your business.
Instagram is the best way to showcase your creativity online. By using these apps not only can you define your individuality to users but you can also forge your own aesthetic and creations and harness a positive relationship with social media.
