Small businesses usually don’t have the financial strength to buy industry leading photo editing software. However, that does not mean that the startups have lesser avenues to get photos and images processed for their websites, social media platforms, or offline media. Apps like Hippo Pics offer these businesses a great opportunity to get photos and images edited by the pros without having to spend a buck! Instagram, as a social media platform, is already one of the sought after marketing channels. Offering this new app is only going to increase its usefulness for businesses.

 

How does the app work?

As it is mentioned before, right now the app is only available on iOS, and it connects the user to the best Instagram editors. If you want your images and photos to be edited in a particular style, all you have to do is provide your input, and the editors will get the job done! You can also browse through the creations and collection of other users’ to get tips and inspirations. You can start viewing the works of Hippo’s best editors soon after downloading the app. To see how much they have improved the original image, all you have to do is tap and hold the image, and both the photos will appear on screen. This way you will get to see the different stages of the editing process.

 

However, Hippo Pics have strict guidelines on what sort of photos you can get them to edit. For example, the expert editors do not accept blurry food photos or selfies, and the app also has a zero tolerance policy against stolen images/photos. So, think twice before passing off some other user’s clicks as your own. To get the best editing work, you have to submit the very best unedited photo. Creative portraits, landscapes and architecture photography get the expert editors’ creative juices flowing! You can find more information on photo submission guidelines on the app’s Instagram page.
