WEBSITES LIKE INSTAGRAM: If I say that Instagram brought photo sharing where it stands and took it to the next level, it won’t be a wrong statement. Instagram offers more than that, filters, effects and many other features that make Instagram such a hit. But if you don’t like Instagram then what alternative do you have.
Instagram also adds community flavor to photo sharing which is its stand out feature. New features are also added regularly. Although, there are many websites like Instagram many people don’t know about them. But wait before you go for any the website, wouldn’t it be good to export all your photos from Instagram.
Here is a list of some of the best websites like Instagram.
SNAPSPEED
One of the best apps for people who like to tinker with their images is Snapspeed. It gives you access to some advanced filters and photo editing options for free. The mobile application has also gained a lot of popularity and it is one of the best photo editing apps out there. Photo corrections, brilliant editing features, and adjustment on a portion of an image can also be applied using this app.
PIXLR-O-MATIC
Pixlr-o-Matic beats Instagram and other photo sharing and editing apps hands down with the number of filters, effects, border and much more. It also provides photo sharing options to its users so they can easily share photos to their favorite sites in just a click. It is also free and a professional editing tool for casual photographers.
You can also give Pixlr Express Plus a try which is also a fantastic photo editing option with many filters and effects. Both are made by Auto Desk who are looking to give Adobe a run for their money. It has already created a splash in the industry and trying to expand its portfolio which will threaten Adobe domination over the market.
FLICKR
Last but certainly not least is Flickr. The popularity of Flickr dropped as competition increased but after it was acquired by Yahoo recently, it came back on the right track of success. Whopping free cloud storage space is enough to save your lifetime photos for free and you can access it from anywhere. There are editing and sharing options available for the users.
It has a simple and elegant interface and the app also offers few filters. You can also add a caption to your images. This app is more focused on social sharing instead of editing and effects.
If you want a convenient way to store your photos in the cloud and share them instantly on the social network websites, then Flickr is the best choice. If you are looking for some impressive editing options, it is better to look at other alternatives because you are not going to find them on Flickr.
ADOBE PHOTOSHOP EXPRESS
How can you leave out Adobe out of the equation when you are talking about photo editing and effects? Adobe has dominated the industry for decades now with its brilliant image editing software for desktop. Adobe Photoshop has set the standard for image editing software and many tried to dethrone Adobe but it still rules supreme over image editing industry.
Continuing the good work, Adobe has launched a brilliant photo editing app for free which tries to do the same on mobile devices as Adobe Photoshop did on the desktop and it has pretty much succeeded in achieving the goal. There is a brilliant auto-fix feature for corrections. You won’t get many filters to play with and advance options that other similar apps offer. It is best for you touching up your photos.
Most of you might be a bit surprised to see twitter at the top of the list of websites like Instagram. It might look strange to many readers but the truth is that twitter comes very close to Instagram in filters and surpasses Instagram with its social networking community. It is one of the best Instagram alternatives. Twitter iPhone app tried to add similar filters and photo features as on Instagram.

This website is more like Instagram, having all the features such as photo effects, nappy photo shootings and all the lovely, cool filter which can be applied on photos. This Instagram alternative also has caption features before sharing your photos. Thus enabling the users to give a caption to photos before they are shared on Twitter, Facebook, and other platforms.

Once you join their app, you can have a look at the map, showing you people near you, sharing their photos and stuff.

I would really like to recommend this app as an alternative to Instagram. Hipster app is available both at the android store and apple store.
