VSCO

VSCO is free to download on both iOS and Android and offers a basic selection of free photo editing tools and presets. However, to access the full library of film simulation presets and advanced editing features, users must subscribe to VSCO Membership. The membership provides a 7-day free trial before charging an annual or monthly fee.

VSCO is primarily known for its high-quality film simulation presets that emulate classic analog film stocks, such as Kodak Portra and Ilford. Photographers use the app for its granular control over color grading, exposure, and grain. The aesthetic of VSCO edits heavily influenced the "VSCO girl" trend on social media in the late 2010s.

While you can export photos directly to social media apps like Instagram, VSCO is not primarily a social network itself, despite having its own internal community feed. Most users edit their photos within VSCO, save them to their camera roll, and then manually upload them to Instagram. VSCO's environment is distinctly less about social metrics, as it hides view counts and likes.

Yes, VSCO Membership includes the ability to edit and apply presets to short videos. Users can adjust contrast, saturation, and apply film-like grain to mobile video clips. However, it is a mobile-focused tool and lacks the advanced multi-track timeline features found in professional video editing software like Premiere Pro.
