“If you can find it, this is one of the best free photo editing apps on the Windows Store”
Aviary has an interesting history. Founded in 2007, the company aimed to supply photo editing for free. It popped up on the Flickr photo sharing website, allowing you to edit your uploaded photos and save them back to your photo stream. The company attracted a great deal of investment, and then in 2014 it was bought by industry giant Adobe, which has been busy integrating its tools into the Creative Cloud suite of applications. As it’s now part of Adobe’s software development kit, anyone can add its abilities to their programs.
There is a ‘pure’ form of Aviary, however, available both on the Windows Store and as a mobile app. Confusingly, it’s just called Photo Editor – the ‘powered by Aviary’ line only appears once the app is running – but it can be identified on the Store by the name of its developer: Aviary Inc. Let’s take a look…
Step-by-step Make your photos pop
1 Find the app
Due to its generic name, this isn’t the easiest app to find. Search for Photo Editor and it should be fairly high up in the results and can be recognised by its blue, pink and green icon. The developer is Aviary Inc, but searching the Store for ‘Aviary’ doesn’t get you anything. Once you manage to track it down on the Windows Store, click the blue button to install it.
