Our Verdict

Very close to being a challenger to some of the more accepted photo-editing apps out there, Photoleap doesn’t take itself too seriously when it comes to playing around with AI features, but this is to be commended, and luckily it has the power and ability to edit photos well if more traditional demands are asked of it.

For

  • Integrates AI in an easy-to-use, easy-to-understand way
  • Powerful standard photo editing available
  • Good social templates for content creators

Against

  • Not all AI results work well
  • It could be trying to do too much
  • A bit gimmicky
