VSCO is a creative channel. We build creative tools, spaces, and connections driven by self-expression. Our mission is to help everybody fall in love with their own creativity.

In 2011, we set out to create a photo and video editing app that combines premium quality editing filters and tools, thoughtful curation, and a diverse community for creative professionals like ourselves.

From day one, our mission has been to nurture creativity so you can make it.

Along the way, we’ve built a vibrant platform of creators around the world who continue to inspire us and our evolution.

Listening to their stories has helped us focus on three key elements: a creator-first editing experience with optionality and control; more ways to connect with other creators; and a transparent way to support themselves and the work they appreciate.

The way we express ourselves creatively is always changing. Whether we’re on a shoot, experimenting for the next one, or simply capturing life, we’re here to hone our craft, expand our perspective, and tell better stories. We’re here to grow.

We believe you are too. You’re our inspiration. We believe that with the right creative tools, inspiring resources, and a supportive community, you can do anything. We’re investing in you. Join us.

Our Product

Community: VSCO is a creative channel. We build creative tools, spaces, and connections driven by self-expression. Our mission is to help everybody fall in love with their own creativity.

Design: When it comes to design, we aren’t interested in the status quo. We push boundaries in order to create compelling experiences.
