Cheetah Mobile Introduces PhotoGrid Lite in India

The popular photo collage app PhotoGrid is getting a spinoff designed specifically for the India market. Cheetah Mobile Inc. has launched the lite version of its photo editing app, PhotoGrid. The app has its fundamental features that will serve as a perfect tool to fit the needs of Indian mobile users.

PhotoGrid Lite is available at the Google Play Store. The PhotoGrid app is a key product for Cheetah Mobile in India and India consistently ranks as one of the top 6 performing countries for the app in terms of both its daily install and monthly usage rates. It has amassed an astonishing number of installations, more than 4 million, in India in the past 12 months.

The key feature distinguishing PhotoGrid Lite from its full version is the application installation package has been reduced to 13MB from 34MB, making it an ideal fit for phones with less storage capacity, thereby making it run much faster, work efficiently and provide the best user experience.

PhotoGrid Lite is designed to bring a smoother, less-cluttered experience, with key highlights including the below:

• No network connection required when using the app;
• Extremely low battery consumption when running the app, making it one of the most energy-efficient mobile photo editors in the world;
• Access to features from the original PhotoGrid app most loved by Indian users.

“India is one of the top countries in the world with huge growth potential for both smartphone device penetration and 4G adoption,” said Jill Shih, VP of Product & User Experience at Cheetah Mobile. “We at Cheetah Mobile will continue to invest in launching accessible and useful products catered specifically for this market and are confident that the app will be a huge success in India.”

PhotoGrid Lite enables one to make personalized collage templates by selecting aspect ratios for photos, edit pictures with powerful editing tools with more than 300 templates with the ability to put up to 15 images together on the same collage. Users with a creative flair can personalize their photos with more than 200 poster templates; 500 stickers; 100 filters; and 400 backgrounds.

Fans of Instagram will be happy to know that the app also comes with full support for Instagram’s various supported aspect ratio cropping. PhotoGrid Lite aims to become a no-frills one-stop mobile photo editor catering to all of your needs.
