How does it work?

Here is a quick guide how to edit your pics with Snapseed:

  1. After opening an image, access tools and filters by tapping the pen in the top left corner to add and edit. 

  2. Apply the filters and tools you like.

  3. Save the image as a copy in your library and share it with the world.

 

Two useful tips for you:

  • Snapseed works in stacks so you can always go back and remove previously applied edits

  • Not sure if you are happy with the final result? Tap and hold the icon on the top right corner to compare your final version with the original
