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.

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.

This app has all the things you love about VSCO camera built into the app, and it’s light weight and fires up fast and ready to go. There’s only one request I have. Update the app so we can program the camera button to launch this app. IOS26 now allows the camera button to be mapped to a 3rd party app. Thanks!
Great start with some room for improvement

Can’t help but think this would be great if it were consolidated with the main VSCO app. But other than that I love being able to shoot with my favorite preset. I’d love the ability to add grain, adjust/lock ISO, and adjust/lock white balance. And on my wishlist would be the ability to do multiple exposures, slow shutter/light trails, and of course video. Also I think there’s a bug that I’ve reported — I’m not able to select a lens after tapping the lens option button, I just get a new focus point / exposure point.
A Major Game Changer

It works and doesn’t have all the bloat of other camera apps. I love that. VSCO has always tried to keep it clean and simple. I’ve had complaints in the past but not many. Have been creating with their apps for over a decade. It literally all just works lol
