VSCO
An app that gives your photos a film look with one-tap presets.
What VSCO does
VSCO is a photo and video editor known for its film-inspired presets. The free Starter plan gives you 15 presets and basic editing. Pro adds 200+ presets, batch editing and the AI Lab for cleanup and upscaling, for $59.99 a year after a 7-day trial.
VSCO is known for a soft, filmy look, and its presets are the main reason to open it. You pick a look, dial the strength up or down, then fine-tune exposure, color and grain until it feels right.
The free plan is fairly small: 15 presets and the basic tools. Pro opens the full library of 200+ presets, batch editing for up to 100 photos at once and the AI Lab, which can remove distractions, upscale and repair photos from a prompt. There's also a collage maker, video editing and a place to share your work with other photographers.
VSCO is best when you want a consistent style across your photos without fiddling much. If you never plan to pay, you'll hit the edges of the free plan quickly. If you want a strong film look and like browsing other people's work for ideas, it's worth trying the Pro trial.
