    You don’t need us to explain Instagram filters to you. Anyone can throw one on their photo and call it good. But if you’re like us when it comes to your feed, anything less than polished and creative won’t cut it. Gone are the days when Instagram’s Valencia filter reigned supreme, so we’ve created custom filters to help you stand out in the noise. Our app features over 130 professional-grade photo filters, inspired by your fave influencers and photographers. Did we mention you can use them on video, too? Though our filters are as high-quality as they come, using them effectively isn’t always as simple as one click. Here are a few tricks we’ve found helpful to take your feed from run-of-the-mill to one-of-a-kind. You’ve probably seen this style of photo editing pop up on your Instagram feed. It’s trending among creatives and influencers, and for good reason! Layering photos adds interest and variety to your feed.
