Best apps for influencers – these are the best apps to download in 2020 for influencers. Get apps like Canva, Kinemaster, Lightroom to make your Social Media game strong.
Now that you are spending so much time at home and with your phone, apps are your favorite friends, right? As influencers and bloggers you are stuck to your phones constantly. A lot of work depends on the efficiency of the apps. So I thought I will share some of my favorite apps. These are some of the Best apps for Influencers. I use some of them regularly. These are probably the best apps to download in 2020 for Influencers.
Firstly, this is not a sponsored post. I really like them so I am recommending them.
How do I shoot my photos?
I like my Nikon D5300 but I happen to shoot only food photos on them that goes in TwinklingtinaCooks. For my Instagram I am mostly using iPhone7 or Vivo V15 Pro. I have a Sony point and shoot that I hardly use (I don’t like that camera; I don’t know why I bought it).
5 Best apps for Influencers
#1 Kinemaster
Platform: iOS/Android
What can You do: Video Editing
Cost: Monthly & Yearly Subscription
If you are into Videos on Instagram or YouTube and you like using your phone for shooting and editing – get this app called Kinemaster. It is super easy to use. You can edit a full YouTube video on your phone and add effects and text and everything. I have a paid version of it so I can render the video without watermark. It costs 1299/- INR for a year which I think is a pretty decent amount.
You can export in 4K, use layers, blend videos and do almost anything. I kind of do all Instagram Videos on this.
#2 SnapSeed
Platform: iOS/Android
What can You do: Photo Editing
Cost: Free
Well, none of the images that go on Instagram are original/ raw images. Everything is edited and it’s okay. Snapseed is an app by Google and is free of cost. You can correct the lighting, add portrait effects, retouch photos, and much more. It is super easy to watermark your photos. This is one of the best apps for influencers. You can use this easily even if you don’t have much of photo editing skills.
Pro Tip: You should watermark your photos – cleverly so that your name/ handle is incorporated in the photo and not in any corner. You don’t want people to copy your photo.
Why I like it so much – You can save your favorite effects and then apply it to new images in one click!
This photo has been shot on Vivo V 15 and edited and watermarked using Snapseed App
#3 Canva
Platform: iOS/Android
What can You do: Graphic Designing
Cost: Free
You must be living in a cave if you have not heard about Canva. It is super easy to create amazing graphics for your social media, blog and even YouTube on Canva. I mostly edit my photos for blog on Photoshop (because I am a Graphic Designer) but sometimes I just like how convenient Canva is. It has something for almost everything you need. Make a Free account with your email id or sign up with Facebook and you are good to go. The Free version is more than you need. There are many graphic designing apps available these days. Canva is one of the
#4 Story Chic
Platform: iOS/Android
What can You do: Graphic Designing
Cost: Free, you can make purchases for different layouts
I absolutely love IG stories. I do a lot of things on stories. It is so fuss-free. I like to add animations, music in my stories. Story Chic is an amazing app with many free layouts. It is a very good story making app that I have grown to love.
#5 Adobe Lightroom for Mobile
Platform: iOS/Android
What can You do: Photo Retouching
Cost: Free
Ever wonder how some Instagrammers have their themes looking so bright and crisp? All hail the Daddy of Photo Editing Software – Adobe Lightroom. Adobe has some of the best software for photo and video editing and I am a total fan of Lightroom and Photoshop.
If you don’t know your workaround on Lightroom – don’t worry. Adobe Lightroom for Mobile and Tablets is a free app that can be used to create and add amazing filters. You can capture, edit, catalog and do much more. You actually don’t need to upgrade to use premium features if you are using for social media only.
Get adobe lightroom presets and simple copy and paste the settings and all your photos can have the amazing effects!!! You can use them for blogs, for Instagram. You can also create your own presets.
So there goes my recommendation for the best apps to download in 2020 for influencers. If you want to know about more best apps for influencers or tutorials on Lightroom or Photoshop, let me know in the comments below.
Now tell me, what are your favorite apps that you are using regularly now.
P.S. None of these are Chinese Apps – so you can download without a guilt!

I wasn’t familiar with some of these so thanks for the valuable recommendations! I need to start playing with them and decide which to use for upcoming photos.
I use a couple of these already, but I’m always on the lookout for more apps to help me in my business. I’ll have to give these a look.
Great apps. I love using canva for my website design. Thanks for sharing
good choices. i really like using canva and adobe photoshop on my iphone.
I have canva pro and love it. And I have been wanting to look into Adobe Lightroom and Snapseed. I really love the watermark idea!
These are some good suggestions and I love that most are free. I have a rule that I don’t pay more than .99 for an app 😂. For the Kinemaster is that $1299 or $12.99? I love my Canva! I would be lost without. Really .
Its 1299 INR, its is about $17.5 I like Canva too.
I adore Canva! It’s such a helpful tool. I’ll have to check out your other suggestions, thank you!
Canva is great I use it a lot one of my favorite is called Over for post editing
This is very helpful, thanks. I use mainly my laptop but it’s always good to know what works!
Canva is my favorite of all the apps here! It’s really helpful

You’re right! these are some great apps for influenzers. I already used some of you shared, and I really love it.
Thanks for sharing these fantastic apps. I am not great at photo or video editing, especially when it comes to using my phone so I have a lot of practicing to do. I mostly use photos almost as they are for my Instagram and blog – part of the reason is that I am not keen to get into editing but also because I like my photos to be as real as possible. One app that I use a lot of is Canva – I do have the Pro version and I love using it.
Snapseed sounds interesting though, is it easy to use?
This is such a crisp and wow list. Wasn’t aware of a few ones n I’m definitely gonna try my hands on them ! N yea , you are in a cave, if you haven’t heard of Canva 🙂 dats soo apt ! I absolutely love Canva and just cannot do with this app !
This is the first time I heard about SnapSeed. I usually use KineMaster and Canva. So nice!
I never heard of Snapseed but I think it’s exactly what I need! Thank you so much

Although I consider myself being a journalist and not an influencer, these apps are certainly very interesting.

I use Canva all the time. It’s so useful! I find it easier to change text on my computer, but since I take my photos with my phone, I add the photos with the iPhone app.
Thanks for sharing these . I have used some before ..some not but always great to learn from experts like you. I have been using power director and vsco extensively but shall chek these for sure
oh okay. i havent tried any of the above as i use imovie on mobile and premier on laptop. i do a lot of video editing so will check literoom on the mobile if it doesnt consume a lot of memory.
I’m a big fan of CANVA, been using it for my work and for my personal stuff too. I think having these kind of free resources makes our life more easier.
I have used all these apps except Story Chic. Will try that now based on your recommendation.
This was really a great post Tina! I love using free apps and really need to download Adobe Lightroom.
I do use canvas and lightroom for creating different pictures. Never tried story chic one will try this time for sure.

These are some great suggestions for app. I seriously didn’t know some of them. I will definitely try lightroom and kinemaster
Kinemaster and canva i am familiar with. Rest i will check as the look great help in terms of creating content as well as editing.
Influencers need a number of apps for work and pictures and videos are quite important. I use Canva extensively. Tried Snapseed but don’t have a grasp on it still. Good recommendations.
I’ve been using canva and snapseed from the list. Have not used the kinemaster and Adobe one. Would like to try them out
This is a very useful post. I have used a few of these. Canva is my all-time favourite and I also used a free version of kinemaster. These apps make your task easy.
