Best Free Image Editor for Android [1]
Introduction
As smartphones get bigger and better so do their inbuilt cameras and with the plethora of image editors available for Android there is now no need to transfer all those images or photos from your Android device to your PC if you wish to edit them.
Using one of these great freely available image editing apps, you should be able to quickly achieve pretty much any effect you desire as you do on desktop system, such as improving a photo by lightening, removing red eyes or something a little more fun like creating a pop-art collage out of selfies.

Lots of features, effects, tools etc, the most I've seen available in a free image editor app, plus most sharing options.
Can be fiddly to new users as effects and filters need to be applied separately from basic editing options.

Easy to use user-interface, lots of effects and image editing tools.
Lacking the social aspect that PicsArt has.

Edit photos before they are snapped with the camera; special effects, filters and tools.
Doesn't seem to have a simple 'undo changes' feature in the app.

Easy to use GUI, many editing tools, built-in camera function and fun to use.
Fewer built-in effects and borders than some other apps but more can be downloaded free.
