Here is the “PSD”, using which you can make instagram effect by doing nothing !

Lets see how to use it:

Conclusion

All these methods are simple and easy but InstantRetro has a drawback, that it is a very slow tool and can take over 25 seconds to apply one effect !

Adobe Photoshop is the best way, as you can adjust the curves and levels, which you cannot do in other two methods.But, not everyone can afford it, its too expensive ($699).

So, Pixlr-O-Matic is the best method toAdd Instagram Effects To Your Photos, which is easy to use, fast and free.
