Editing can be a daunting task, especially when the content is in need of being spiced up. I've created a list of my favorite apps/software/websites (whatever you want to call them) for graphic and photo editing. They've saved my life as a content creator and I'm sure anyone could benefit from a solid edit.
CANVA
Canva has it all. Templates, stock photos, graphics and even classes. Plus, with a membership it can help you schedule your post, let you add other people to your account, and keep all your brand assets conveniently in one place. Even without a membership it offers a bunch of free templates unlocked for anyone to use.
Canva is great because it's a quick and easy way to spice up an instagram story, help keep posts consistent with brand colors and offers you inspiration from thousands of other creators on the site.

ADOBE
I use Adobe Fresco to create the backdrops for my instagram collages. I also use it to make png icons and sketch. Sure, there's probably an easier way to create a background for collages but I enjoy taking the time to create these myself on Fresco. I'd recommend the app to anyone who sketches, draws, or does graphic design.
Once I've got that backdrop done I drop it into Adobe Photoshop and slice it up, creating different boxes for each of the posts. Once I'm in photoshop I can layer my photos, add on text, and layer my photos and icons. Photoshop is also amazing for any extreme photo edit needs- ie. removing your cat licking his butt in the back of your selfie.

PICSART
If you haven't heard of PicsArt you're probably living on mars, a male, or just not into editing at ALL. I feel like this is the go-to app for anyone wanting a quick and easy photo edit. Within seconds you can fix the light, get rid of a blemish, and add a cool mask with some stickers. It's also cool to check out other peoples edit and see what they've created to spark your own inspiration.
PicsArt offers both free and paid plans. Pro tip: screenshot on your device after applying a layer that is costly- sure it will be lower quality but it won't break the bank!

OTHER APPS I LOVE
Procreate- A wonderful app for graphic designing, sketching, and creating backdrops for photos. It has a lot of digital brushes you can work with easily on an iPad with your pen, and many more available for download free.
Adobe Premiere Pro- This is my favorite video editing "app"- It just will always have a special place in my heart. Adobe even offers classes to get you started and have you editing like a pro in no time!
PicFX - This is a great app for anyone who wants a simple, aesthetic filter over their photos. It's easy to edit with their simple slider, and quick exports. This app can make any photo look fancy and impressive. For example, below is a picture of my floor with a filter from PicFX and I think it could pass for a "good photo"(if I cropped out my foot).
