FREE CAMERA APP
VSCO Capture is made for shooting in the moment. Choose from 50+ live presets inspired by retro, contemporary, and vintage film looks. Apply real-time effects as you shoot, and easily toggle between automatic and manual settings. You can even shoot in RAW for more flexibility when editing later in the VSCO app.
LIVE CAMERA FILTERS
Shoot with over 50 preset filters that let you define your style before you press the shutter. From analog classics and black-and-white to retro film and photographer-inspired looks, each preset is designed to help you see and customize your aesthetic in the moment — no editing required.
REAL-TIME PHOTO EFFECTS
Shape light as you shoot. Add live Bloom and Halation photo effects to soften highlights, lift glow, and bring a cinematic, film-inspired character to your photos. Dial in intensity, size, and range in real time, so what you see on screen is exactly what you capture.
VIDEO WITH LIVE PRESETS
Shoot video in your style. Apply your favorite VSCO presets in real time to capture motion with the same look you trust for photos. With 50+ iconic presets, create a consistent aesthetic, frame by frame.

EASY MANUAL CONTROLS
Dial in your look with intuitive manual controls. Toggle flash modes, adjust exposure, ISO, and white balance, and change your shutter speed with a UI that’s made for in-the-moment shooting. Easily capture long exposures with blur or recreate the look of a disposable camera with a pop of flash. Whether you're going full manual or letting auto do the work, you control your unique aesthetic.

I love the app when it works. Not sure if it’s the iOS or the app specifically but it’s been crashing and freezing constantly. The team has been responsive and I hope this gets resolved. I really enjoy using it for my work but it’s just not reliable.
File corrupt

This app keeps hanging my iPhone and ended up corrupting all the files in my gallery
Have to pay anyways

What’s the point of making a whole separate app with every vsco filter for free, IF YOU CANT EXPORT IT WITHOUT PAYING FOR PREMIUM??? At that point I’d just upload my video to the regular VSCO app and pay. Some filters are free but not all and it won’t tell you until you’ve already taken the picture. I can’t even save it, all I can do is look at it in my gallery on the vsco capture app
All in one shooting & editing!

loved using this app on my trips while traveling. I found that the picture is clear and crisp, and the app provides you with filters that you can use anytime you’d like. I highly recommend using.
Fuji-style experience on iOS!
