What is Filtergram?
Filtergram is a mobile photo and video editing application launched in 2014. It gained popularity for its unique filters and creative editing tools that allowed users to transform their photos and videos into artistic creations.
Some key features of Filtergram include:
- An extensive library of filters ranging from vintage films looks to futuristic effects
- Overlays like light leaks, textures, and patterns to enhance visual style
- Advanced editing tools like curves, hue/saturation, and selective color adjustment
- Cropping and straightening
- Text with a variety of fonts, colors, and drop shadows
- Frames and borders
- Image blending for double exposures
Filtergram set itself apart from other editing apps by making the creative process intuitive and enjoyable for users of all levels. Its interface was clean and user-friendly. Additionally, it had a built-in camera feature so you could capture and edit new photos or videos all within the app.
While the app is no longer available, it played a key role in popularizing mobile photo/video editing and inspiring much of the effects and filters we see across editing apps today.
