Don’t we all love Instagram because of its super-friendly interface? Oh, beyond that everything else is also supreme in this application. Every feature is designed with delicacy and hard work and it surely pays off. Whether it’s the IGTV or amazing filters you get for your feed and stories, Instagram tops all charts.

However, it’s the editing feature that deserves a bow. The most depressing thing about many other social platforms is that it doesn’t let you edit a post easily once you have posted it. And the problem is limited to what’s on the timeline. You don’t even get to delete the messages you have sent to other people.

But Instagram solves all such problems. It gives you the option of deleting the messages without notifying the receiver that you sent a message. And, hence, you are saved from embarrassment. This is why it is a convincing platform and is widely used across the world. It reached a peak in no time because of its second-to-none features and worthy editing options.

Post-editing in Instagram

Well, the videos you share online are hard to edit. But you can still trim a video, mute or unmute it, apply the desired filter to it, and make it a carousel post if you don’t want to leave anything out. You can do this before and after posting the video on Instagram and this is why it is loved by all. Everything is under your control all the time.

About the photos, you can also edit it before and after posting it on your feed or story. It is not a complex process at all. And you can easily do it whenever you want and however, you want. Even if it’s a year-old post, if you like to add or remove something in it, Instagram allows you to do it.

Before publishing

Instagram filters are among the best in the world. You don’t have to get another application for Instagram posts and that is why it competes with many other applications of diverse nature single-handedly and has the upper hand. If you haven’t yet posted a picture, you can edit using the app’s tools.

According to activeigdtocom the purpose of editing a picture is to make it more aesthetic, pleasing, and attractive. Secondly, a quality post gets you like and more likes mean more potential followers, hence, your way to fame. Once you have taken a shot, you can edit it by:

• Choosing an appropriate filter: filters like words provide a mood to the picture. Vintage filters suit best on close-ups and candid pictures. However, filters cannot be chosen instantly. You can try as many filters as you like and then choose the best one. You also get to choose how much of a filter you want to apply to a picture. And if you are bored with the repeated set of filters, you can change it all by managing the filters.
• Adjusting the visual quality: Like general photos, setting the contrast and brightness is the big thing. On Instagram, you can do it by clicking on the sun icon right at the top of every picture. It allows you to contour the picture and exposes the under-addressed aspects of a photo. The lux scale allows you to get to the desired contrast.
• Other features: when applying the filter, you may have noticed the edit option at the lower-right corner of the picture. Click it to adjust the alignment, saturation, and other small things. With this option, you get to customize your photo the way you want.
• Save and post: you can also create multi-framed photos on Instagram or can tweak many photos in one frame. At last, you save your work and post it on your feed.

Post-upload editing

If you have uploaded a picture or video and forgot to tag someone, or you want to change the caption of the post, don’t worry. Instagram has got your back and you can do it all in no time and one easy step. On your feed, select the picture you want to modify. Tap on the three vertically aligned dots. Once you do it, the picture appears along with the edit options. You can

• Add or remove tags of location and people
• Change the filter
• Add or edit the caption written; you can edit it completely including the font style and size.

Once done, click save and you have the modified post.
