If you're looking for a robust image and video editing platform that works on mobile devices, ImageChef is well worth a look. While it would be impossible to pack all the features of a professional photo editing suite like Adobe Photoshop onto a phone ImageChef offers an impressive if stripped down alternative. ImageChef won't meet the needs of photo editing professionals, but it's a powerful enough tool for casual users who want to add some cool effects to their photos, and it's packed with one of the densest feature sets in its class.

The biggest selling point for ImageChef may well be its ease of use. Where more traditional photo editing apps require you to create effects yourself, ImageChef comes with a number of cool templates built right in so that you can create appealing image alterations with just a couple of taps. Popular templates offered right out of the box include picture frames, wanted posters, and billboards, but that doesn't even scratch the surface of what ImageChef has to offer. They take an open source approach to templates and effects, and that means that their online marketplace is filled with free collages and animated frames that you can use to customize the look of your photos. While finding an effect that suits you may take some time, the sheer breadth of the options on display here means that there's likely an option available that suits your needs perfectly. If you're looking to create dynamic and varied collages, many of these frames support the option to combine as many as four different photos into a single image.

In addition to the photo and image templates, ImageChef also comes packed with a number of different text templates. If you're tired of your boring old text messages on social media, you can use these to create a distinct look that's sure to draw the eyes of your followers. ImageChef comes naturally packaged with 40 different text templates, and new ones are added every week, so the sky's the limit on how you can customize text-based messaging. Even cooler is the addition of visual poetry templates. These take text customization to the next level by transforming your words into a number of different shapes. Users can customize both the color and the style of these visual poems.

While ImageChef isn't a fully featured photo editing suite, it does offer some basic options for positioning and resizing your text and images. These include both stickers and blocks of text, and you have three different animation styles for when you're trying to make stickers move. ImageChef also doubles as a social media platform in its own right, letting you browse you friends' altered images in a smartly designed feed.
