These Are The TikTok Editing Apps You’ve Been Seeing On Your “For You” Page

There is no good or bad time to jump on the TikTok bandwagon. Now that you are spending less time commuting, maybe get some cardio in while learning the Renegade. If you're at a loss for inventive ways to socialize, gather a group of friends to join TikTok and duet with each other.
Something that often goes unmentioned when we talk about TikTok is that many of these untouchable-cool teens with enviable feeds are actually quite transparent about the tools they use to craft their aspirational lives. One of the app's biggest hashtags is #Editing101 and has over 2 billion posts full of people demonstrating different editing techniques and exchanging tips. There, you can find tips on how to edit pictures on any given iPhone model, how to use things like Adobe Creative Suite (either for school or for fun), as well as advanced step-by-step tutorials.
Instagram took photo-sharing to a whole new level by offering a set of filters that inspired us to look at photo-sharing differently. And TikTok is no different, with editing features like Green Screen, Face Zoom, dueting, and sound borrowing all built into the app. But just as VSCO came in and offered Instagrammers an extended suite of features, a host of new editing apps are doing the same for TikTokers.
So here are a few of the editing apps you've likely seen on your ForYou page. It's worth noting that a lot of the major TikTokers do just fine with the in-app features, while others pull out the big guns like Adobe Creative Suite. These are just some fun ones to play around with.
Voloco
You know the infamous storytime TikTok about the girl that took off too much during a checkup? Almost as funny as the lack of communication that led to the nudity is the fact that she was sharing her story in a sing-talky way made all the more hilarious by an AutoTuned voice. If not, you're probably familiar with that whole genre of videos where users use the Green Screen effect to display lo-fi Facebook and Tumblr posts that say things like: "I hate when people leave their breath behind after talking to me...COME GET THIS SH*T" and then read them with a wavy voice that gets absurdly distorted as the posts get too funny to resist.
TikTok doesn't offer a similar feature, so if you want to hop on the trend, do as these creators did and download Voloco. For the effect used in Catalina's video, just download the app and toggle to video. Select "effects" on the right-hand side, choose "Big Chorus," and you're ready to record.
Available for free on the App Store and on Google Play.Dazz Cam
No other app is so aggressively promoting itself all over TikTok. It wouldn't be surprising to learn that Dazz Cam might've paid some TikTokers to promote the app, but the results speak for themselves.
While Dazz Cam is primarily a vintage-inspired photo-editing app, it's recently become famous for popularizing the "3-D image." Once you download the app, you select the camera icon that's to the right of the record button. Scroll through the Photo options and select the "D3D" camera. Take a picture like you normally would and voilá: a 3D image you can set to music on TikTok. Sadly, if your phone model only has a single camera lens, you will not be able to use the D3D camera.
While you get the hang of the 3-D image effect, you can rely on Dazz Cam's fun selection of filters that emulate 16mm cameras, 8mm, VHS for videos, and a similar variety of instant cameras. You can record in-app as well as upload images or videos from your library to edit.
Available for free on the App Store and Google Play.Glitchy
There is no shortage of love for the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s on TikTok, with hundreds of users committed to rescuing archival runway and MTV footage and editing it to synthy tracks. Then there are the kind of creative TikTokers who simply live as if they are in the 90s, there are those who cut together footage to recreate the vibes. Glitchy has a host of filters you can layer over a video to give it a VHS, "Trippy," or grainy feel. You can either record in-app or edit footage from your library.
Available for free on the App Store and on Google Play.KiraKira+
If you make a habit of finding new editing apps, you likely already have KiraKira on your phone. It has been made popular by fashion-world darlings like the Jenner sisters and a host of other supermodels. If you are on TikTok, you also probably already have KiraKira and use it to give your Instagram stories that extra sparkle.
A lot of popular TikToks will be shot in this app's camera, with a subtle glimmer. And you can count on at least half of the posts using Molina's "Hey Kids" or the #aesthetic hashtag rely on KiraKira to fall in with the aesthetic. But so do many straightforward videos looking to add a little visual interest.
KiraKira is easy to use: you can either record directly into the app (make sure you do so in the TikTok-friendly 9:16 aspect ratio) and swipe through the desired sparkle effects. Or, you can edit a post from your library, this is ideal if you want to layer it over effects from other apps.
Available for $0.99 on the App Store and on Google Play.
