About VSCO
VSCO is the go-to app for creators who want that coveted film-look aesthetic. With over 200 presets inspired by classic film stocks like Kodak Portra and Fuji Superia, VSCO transforms ordinary phone photos into something that feels artistically intentional.
Beyond presets, VSCO offers advanced editing tools including HSL color adjustments, split toning, grain, and film fade effects. Video editing lets you apply the same presets and adjustments to your clips. Montage creates multi-clip stories with transitions.
The VSCO community is a curated, ad-free space for sharing creative work — more focused on artistry than likes and followers. Discover photography from creators worldwide and build a visual journal of your best work.

User Reviews
VSCO presets are in a league of their own. That warm film look is so hard to replicate manually, but VSCO nails it every time. My Instagram aesthetic is entirely thanks to VSCO editing. The community is a nice change from the chaos of social media.
Worth the subscription for the presets alone. I save my favorite editing recipes and apply them in seconds. The video editing with the same presets keeps my content visually consistent across photos and reels.
