When we first started VSCO back in 2011, our goal was clear: to create a space where creativity could thrive, unbound by limitations. We wanted a platform that didn’t just edit photos and videos but elevated them-a place where every creator, from hobbyists to professionals, could find tools, inspiration, and a community that speaks their language.
Our Mission: Empower Every Creator
At VSCO, we believe creativity is deeply personal. That’s why we built an app that does more than apply filters—it empowers you to tell your story. From the very first preset to our latest AI-powered tools, every feature we develop is designed to amplify your creative vision.
