FAQ from VSCO

What makes VSCO different from other photo editors?

VSCO blends intuitive, film-rooted editing with purpose-built community infrastructure. Unlike standalone editors or social-first platforms, VSCO unifies high-fidelity creative tools, portfolio publishing, collaborative discovery, and professional pathways—all within one ethical, ad-free environment designed for long-term artistic growth.

What’s included in each VSCO membership tier?

VSCO offers three tiers: Starter (free), Plus ($2.50/month, billed annually), and Pro ($5.00/month, billed annually). Starter gives access to 15 presets and core editing; Plus unlocks all 200+ presets, video editing, Canvas, and Sites; Pro adds cloud sync, Client Galleries, Profile Insights, Adobe Lightroom integration, and priority support.

Is VSCO suitable for professional commercial work?

Absolutely. With Pro-tier features—including RAW export, client-facing galleries, custom domain portfolio sites, and direct brand collaboration via VSCO Hub—VSCO supports end-to-end professional workflows, from concept to commission to delivery.

Can I use VSCO for video editing on desktop?

Yes. The desktop app supports full video editing functionality—including timeline-based trimming, color grading, audio ducking, and effects—with parity across Plus and Pro plans. Desktop users benefit from larger canvas space, keyboard shortcuts, and faster rendering.

How does VSCO Hub help creators get hired?

VSCO Hub uses AI-powered matching to surface creators’ best work to brands actively seeking talent. It surfaces opportunities like sponsored challenges, campaign briefs, and direct hiring requests—while maintaining creator control over visibility, permissions, and compensation terms.

Do I need a subscription to use VSCO’s core editing tools?

No. The free Starter plan includes essential editing tools, 15 presets, and basic sharing—ideal for beginners and casual creators. Premium features unlock deeper creative control, cross-device continuity, and professional exposure—but the foundation of great editing is always accessible.
