Google launched Snapseed for Android – Photo Editing & Sharing App

Google launched Snapseed for Android, a content sharing app having Instagram like functions. Users can edit images and share the same via Google+ or other social networks.

The Snapseed application, adjudged as the best iPad app last year, is now made available for free on both iOS and Android platforms. Snapseed, developed by Nik Software, has been brought by Google.

With the app, users can do basic adjustments like tune, straighten and crop, add creative filters like drama, black and white, and vintage that you can apply individually or in combination to images.
