Tired of basic filters that make everything look… meh? You’re not alone. The days of “Valencia” and “X-Pro II” are long gone. If you want your photos to actually stand out — like scroll-stopping, jaw-dropping, how-did-you-do-that kind of stand out — you need something a little spicier.
We’re talking next-level filters. The kind that don’t just edit your photos — they transform them into something artistic, hypnotic, or flat-out trippy.
Here are two must-try apps for creatives, aesthetes, and anyone who’s ever said “this would look cooler if it glowed.”
🌈 Kaleidoscope: Prism & Lens 3D
Let’s start with a camera app that doesn’t just filter — it performs. With over 2500 real-time visual effects (no post-editing needed), this app turns your camera into a portal of fractals, neon symmetry, liquid distortion, and prism bursts.
You move your phone — the lens reacts. It’s like filming with a magic mirror.
Perfect for:
- Selfies that look like they belong in a music video
- Reels and TikToks that mesmerize
- Turning your cat into kaleidoscopic art

🎨 Drawing Pad 3D
Okay, this one’s a wild card — but hear us out.
It’s not just for sketching. With Drawing Pad 3D, you can load your favorite photo and draw directly on it with glowing pens, textured brushes, and mandala symmetry. Want to give your latte a neon halo? Go for it. Outline your sunset? Yes please.
It turns any image into an interactive canvas — and you don’t need a single drop of artistic skill to make it cool.

Whether you’re turning your dog into digital art or crafting an aesthetic selfie that makes your feed pop, these two apps are your secret creative weapons.
Now go melt some pixels.
