Though it received heat over its shocking terms of service, Instagram remains one of the most used photo-sharing services.

The app brings several custom designed image filters and borders for free.

Users can also add the Tilt-Shift and Depth of Field effects to images to make them more interesting.

Instagram has a large community of professional and amateur users who love each other's work.

You can also connect with your favourite celebs and leave a comment on their official Instagram pages.

The user interface has been tweaked recently to make it lighter and easy on the eyes as well as simple to use.

Images can be shared on Facebook though unfortunately, not on Twitter.

With Instgram, you can discover amazing photos and connect with people across the globe.

Try out the photo sharing madness of millions by downloading Instagram from Google Play store.

Autodesk's Pixlr-O-Matic adds a large bunch of filters to the standard camera app.

This app packs more than 100 effects, 280 overlays and about 200 different borders -- yes, all of them in one single app.

Just open any image from your phone's gallery and you can start playing around with the different effects and overlays.

The app also has a Randomizer button that will apply different effects, overlays and borders -- all with a single tap.

Once done, you can share your final image over Facebook and see what your friends say about it.

With EyeEm, you can apply real-time photo filters.

After capturing a photo you can share it over different social networks.

Like many other apps even EyeEm suffers from a basic limitation -- you cannot make an image private or reject a friend request.

Other than that, EyeEm offers a beautiful and easy user interface.

There isn't a large number of fancy image filters, effects and borders but it does offer good enough options that make your images look more realistic.
