Instagram is a free photo-sharing app with which users can apply photo effects like retro and vintage filters, frames, and colors; then they can share the photos on different social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Flickr. Here we will discover the best alternative Instagram app for your PC and mobile.
Instagram was initially designed for the iPhone and is now available for its iPad and iPod siblings running iOS 3.0.2 or higher and can be downloaded from the App Store and its website. An Android version was released in early April 2012 and is available for download from Google Play.
But, what happens if we want to use other applications with similar functions? Exist? The answer is undoubtedly yes, and not only alternatives in the form of mobile applications, but we also find the best alternative app to Instagram that we can download and install on our computer.
Alternative Instagram App: Top 6 Suggestions
Below are 6 top suggestions for an alternative Instagram app for your PC and mobile.
1. Pixlr-o-Matic
With more than 100 filters, 280 compositions and 200 different frames, Pixlr-o-matic allows us to give up to five million different finishes to our images. This complete application will allow us to edit our photos with great detail. Its social component allows us to share our creations on social networks and services such as Facebook, Dropbox, Flickr or by email. Its multiple photo editing options make Pixlr-o-matic one of the best free Android apps with a PC version.
2.StreamZoo
Although somewhat more limited than the previous one in terms of the possibility of combining filters, frames and image formats, Streamzoo has the incentive to work perfectly as a photography social network in an autonomous way, including #hashtags and @users. This point is crucial because it led Instagram to success, at least before Facebook bought it and changed its user policy. The social network created by Zuckerberg is one of the many where we can show our creations on Streamzoo, such as Twitter, Google+, Tumblr or Flickr.
