5 Best Black and White Photo Editing Apps for Android
Black and white photos hold a special place on social media. Monochrome photography is a trend that is expected to last. There are black and white photo editing apps available on Google Play Store. We have selected some of the best apps that will enhance your monochrome game.
1. Hypocam
Hypocam is an excellent Android app for black and white photography. It allows you to edit photos from your camera roll and shoot directly from the app. One of its best features is real-time control of exposure and color tone, enabling you to achieve the desired black and white tone while taking the photo. Alternatively, you can take a photo and then edit it using the available filters and edit settings. This free mobile app offers 7 filters to choose from, and additional filters can be purchased through in-app purchases. The filters provide various tones to enhance your photos. In addition, the app includes a built-in news feed with various sections to keep you updated and entertained with the latest news and some of the best black and white photographs.
Hypocam has a sleek and user-friendly UI. All buttons are front and center. However, the app could improve by naming the filters and edit options for better understanding.
2. BlackCam: Black and White Camera
If you want to enhance your black and white photos, BlackCam is the app for you. It offers adjustable filters to refine your photos. You can choose from filters like Classic, Vintage, Noir, Hard Boiled, Light, Shadow, and Dark. BlackCam also has presets available for in-app purchase.
In addition to the filters, you can also play with a cool set of color filters. The editing tools in the app allow you to adjust brightness, contrast, exposure, vignette, and more. The app can take a snap by adjusting the effects in real time, and it has a simple and user-friendly UI.
3. Photo Editor – Black and White
When you open the Photo Editor – Black and White app, you will see the camera and gallery options. You can take a snapshot or edit existing photos from the camera roll. There are five tabs to edit your photos: Manual Adjustments, Professional Lenses, Monochromatic Filters, Texture, and Frames. The Monochromatic filters provide a retro effect to your photos, which I particularly like.
Photo Editor- Black and White offers a complete range of classic editing tools like color balance, crop, rotation, and more. It allows you to adjust brightness, contrast, color temperature, saturation, exposure, and sharpen and blur photos with a swipe. This Android app is wholesome and meets all your needs.
4. Color Pop Effects: Black & White Photo Editor
Color Pop Effects is an cool Android app that transforms your image into black and white and allows you to add color to a specific portion of the image using your finger. For instance, if you’re next to a car and wearing a red dress, you can color the dress while leaving the rest of the photo in black and white.
It takes time to figure out the steps when you open the app. When coloring, the app allows zooming to stay within the lines and avoid coloring outside of them. The effect is best when your photo has bright colors, making specific objects stand out.
5. Dramatic Black & White
Dramatic Black and White is a paid Android app that costs Rs.130. It offers a customizable UI, editing options, and presets.
You can adjust the tint, add film grain, use color filters to enhance greyscale images. The app lets you customize controls, spotlight size, and intensity.
The Ellipse spotlight tool sets up a light source on your subject. It also supports custom presets.
Black and white photos are more dramatic and intense than colored ones. Try these Android apps to add drama to your photos. Do you use any other black and white photography app? Let us know in the comments below.
