VSCO Capture App Now Lets You Edit Before You Shoot

iPhone photography just got a serious upgrade with the launch of the VSCO Capture app. Designed to give users more creative control, Capture introduces real-time filters and manual settings that let you fine-tune your shot before you even press the shutter. Whether you're adjusting exposure or choosing a preset, this new tool eliminates the need to edit after the fact, putting all the power in your hands before the image is captured. For creators who rely on iPhone photography, VSCO Capture app might just be the perfect addition to your creative toolkit.

Explore 58 Real-Time Filters in the VSCO Capture App

One of the biggest draws of the VSCO Capture app is its impressive suite of 58 real-time presets. Instead of applying filters after a photo is taken, users can now preview and shoot with them live. The app also includes advanced manual settings—adjust shutter speed, tweak exposure, and add cinematic effects like bloom or halation, all while framing your shot. This real-time functionality is a game changer for mobile photographers who want professional-grade images without relying on third-party editors post-capture.

RAW and ProRAW Shooting Come Standard

For serious photographers, the ability to shoot in RAW and Apple’s ProRAW format adds significant appeal to the VSCO Capture app. These formats retain much more image data, making them perfect for heavy post-processing or professional use. The app also seamlessly integrates with the original VSCO editor, letting users move from camera to edit suite without missing a beat. Compared to other apps like Halide, Capture strikes a balance between ease of use and advanced functionality, making it accessible for both casual users and photography enthusiasts.

VSCO Capture App Is Now Free to Download

After a successful limited launch in Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand, VSCO Capture app is now available for free on the App Store. This release marks VSCO's latest step in becoming more than just a post-processing app—it's evolving into a full mobile photography platform. With user-friendly tools and professional features built in, Capture empowers iPhone photographers to elevate their visuals instantly. If you're looking to shoot smarter, faster, and more creatively, this app is worth downloading today.
