About this app
A filter app at first, VSCO has grown into a photography platform: editing, presets, batch processing, video tools, a community and a professional profile. It's aimed at serious hobbyists and working photographers who care about a consistent look across their work. The preset library runs to over 200 looks, including Film X presets modelled on Kodak, Fuji and Agfa stocks, and Recipes save your own combinations for reuse. Batch editing applies one edit to up to 100 photos at once. Advanced tools include Split Tone, HSL, Grain and Dodge & Burn, and the AI Lab removes distractions, upscales and repairs photos from a text prompt. Video gets the same presets plus trim, crop, speed control and colour grading, and a collage maker handles stills and video montage. VSCO Spaces are shared galleries for feedback and collaboration. The full preset library needs a VSCO Membership, and the AI Lab is part of the higher VSCO Pro tier.
VSCO: Photo & Video Editor: the full guide
What the app is
VSCO started as a filter app and has become something closer to a photography platform: 200-plus presets including Film X looks that imitate Kodak, Fuji and Agfa film, batch editing for up to 100 photos, video tools, a community and a profile for working photographers.
Recipes save your own combinations, the deeper tools cover split toning, HSL, grain and dodging and burning, and an AI Lab takes a text prompt to remove distractions, upscale or repair. Spaces are group galleries where other members critique your work. The full preset library needs a Membership; the AI Lab sits in the higher Pro tier.
How it works day to day
A shoot comes back, you edit one frame properly, save the look as a Recipe, and batch it across the other ninety-nine. That's the core loop for anyone shooting regularly. Film X presets give a stock-emulation starting point, and the HSL and split tone tools handle the finishing. Video gets the same preset, trimmed and graded to match.
The community side is where it differs from a pure editor: post to a Space, get feedback from other photographers, and keep a profile that works as a portfolio.
Why people look for it
The film emulation, which has a reputation among people who care about how Kodak Portra or Fuji stocks render. Batch editing to 100 photos is the practical reason working photographers keep it. The community is a quieter draw than it was, but Spaces give it a purpose beyond editing. The brand name itself still carries weight in the Photography category.
Look and feel
Expect restraint. VSCO's house style has always been minimal, and the five screenshots on the page should show an editing view dominated by the photo with a strip of tools beneath, plus the community feed. With over 200 presets, browsing them is a big part of the interface. The 12+ rating reflects the community content rather than the tools.
