I’ll be talking about the best apps to use for social media content creation if you’re really trying to up your content this year. I have another post detailing all the equipment and software I use for creating content across social media, my blog, and my YouTube channel.
PLANOLY: I still rock with this app and have found it to be very helpful when it comes to planning out my feed specifically on Instagram and with the additional of Reel covers.
LIGHTROOM: I would highly suggest Adobe Lightroom for your phone. It’s a great way to do more detailed edits and adjustments. Additionally, you can find Lightroom presets on ETSY for low costs!
TEZZA: This app is by the macro influencer, Tezza Barton, and has different vintage style edits (for both photos and videos). The premium subscription is $5.99/month.
RETOUCH: I use this app to help remove any unwanted things like wires or stray hairs out of my photos. It’s super easy to use and you do not need to be anywhere near a Photoshop extraordinaire in order to master this app.
SNAPSEED: This is a robust editing app for the phone that allows you to make fine tune adjustments to a photo, like expanding a certain section so that the overall photo fits within the parameters of the IG specs (using the Expand tool).
VIDEOLEAP: I use this app for editing my Reel and/or TikTok video footage. It’s easy to use and works really well for your editing needs. It has royalty free music on it as well. You can also add filters to your videos. I currently pay for the premium version to have access to all the available features.
CAPCUT: I like CapCut when I need some additional edits that VideoLeap doesn’t yet have. It’s also a great way to integrate trending TikTok sounds to videos (if that’s something you’re into)
CANVA: If you’re into making text posts, then Canva would be your best friend. There are so many templates to choose from and you can customize it to make it your own.
And that’s it folks. The best editing apps to use for social media content creation. I hope that this post is helpful!
Until next time…
