Android users have a wealth of photo editing options at their fingertips, thanks to the app store’s ever-growing selection of photo editing apps. Whether you’re looking to fix a mistake or add some extra pizzazz to your photos, there are plenty of ways to edit and crop photos on Android. To start editing your photos, open the app that you want to use for photo editing and select a photo from your gallery. If the photo is in a album or collection, you can select it from there as well. Once the photo is selected, look for the “edit” button in the bottom left corner of the screen. This will take you to a screen where you can do things like adjust brightness and contrast, change filters, add text or stickers, and more. If you want to crop your photo, tap on the “crop” button in the bottom right corner of the screen and choose how much space you want to remove from either side of the image. You can also adjust how much space is left at the top and bottom of the image. Once you’ve finished editing your photo, tap on “save” in the top right corner of the screen and choose where you want to save it. You can also share your edited photos with friends via email or social media using built-in sharing features on most apps. ..
Editing or cropping a photo may seem like a pretty simple thing to do, but if you don’t know where to look, it can be frustrating. We’ll show you how to use the easiest photo editor for Android.
Google Photos is a very popular application that comes pre-installed on many Android smartphones and tablets. You don’t have to utilize Google’s cloud backup in order to use the app as a basic photo gallery, although many choose to do so. It also has some of the easiest and best photo-editing tools.

First, open the Google Photos app, or install it from the Google Play Store on your Android device.
If you’re opening the app for the first time, you’ll be asked whether you want to use the cloud “Back Up & Sync” feature. This is not required to use Google Photos, so you can skip it if you’d like.
You can also “Skip” through the tutorial.
To get started, select a photo. Device folders can be found on the “Library” tab.
With the photo open, tap the “Edit” button.
The first thing you’ll see is a number of suggested edits that you can make. These are typically things like a catch-all “Enhance” option, or color temperature adjustments. Just tap one to apply it.
Along the bottom is a row of tabs with different tools. The next one is “Crop,” with a various number of crop options (as shown below). Simply drag the handles to crop the photo to how you’d like it.
The next tab is “Adjust.” This is where you’ll find a bunch of professional editing tools—things like brightness, contrast, white point, saturation, skin tone, and more. Select a tool to adjust it.
Next up is “Filters,” which should be familiar to you if you’ve used Instagram. These are presets that change up the look of the photo pretty drastically with one tap.
Lastly, the “More” tab has additional apps that may be available on your device. “Markup” can be used to draw on the photo. I have Snapseed installed, so that is listed here as well.
When you’re done editing and cropping your photo, tap the “Save” or “Save Copy” button in the bottom-right corner.
That’s it! Google Photos is a very powerful photo-editing app, but it can be simple, too. It’s convenient to use if you need to do some quick cropping.
