Photoleap review
A mobile-first editor combining generative tools, layered editing, and image animation.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Photoleap is a mobile photo-editing and image-creation app from Lightricks Ltd. for creators, social-media users, and casual editors. It combines standard editing tools with AI image generation, object replacement, background generation, photo enhancement, upscaling, uncropping, removal tools, artistic effects, text, collages, animation, and image-to-video creation. The app supports iOS and Android, offers free access, and includes optional paid features or memberships.
Its editing range is broader than a basic filter app. Users can work with layers and blending modes, masking and selection tools, tonal adjustments, filters, effects, and RAW photos alongside generative tools. That combination suits users who want to move between conventional editing and prompt-based changes in one mobile workflow. The feature set also covers both still-image refinement and motion-oriented output through photo animation and image-to-video creation. Photoleap is focused on mobile creation, so it is a stronger fit for phone- and tablet-based editing than for desktop-centered production or large collections of images.
The published membership options include a Monthly membership at $11.99 per month, a Yearly membership at $5.99 per month billed annually, and a One-time membership at $279.99. A seven-day free trial is also available, alongside the free plan. The Yearly membership offers the lower monthly equivalent, while the One-time membership provides one-time access. Photoleap should appeal to mobile creators who value generative editing, layers, RAW support, and animation in one app. Users seeking desktop software or a workflow centered on batch editing should consider a different type of editor.
