The photo makes it possible to capture the most important moment. And if in the past photos were taken either as a souvenir or for commercial purposes, today, when everyone has phones with a camera, and almost everyone is registered on social networks, the photo has become a tool of self-expression. There are many examples of successful photographers who have an iPhone camera instead of a professional SLR camera, and an Instagram account instead of a column in a magazine or a corner in a photo gallery.
Surely we can say that the iPhone has one of the best phone cameras. And the owners of this smartphone know that the reason for high-quality images lies not only in the technical indicators of the camera, but also in photo editors, which can be downloaded to the App Store.

Very often, it is filters that help to transfer the atmosphere, the mood of the photograph. We have created a rating of the best photo editors for iPhone, with the help of which each user can add interesting, unusual effects to his photo, apply filters, change lighting or add shadows.
