VSCO (/ˈvɪskoʊ/), formerly known as VSCO Cam, is a photography mobile app for iOS and Android devices. The app was created by Joel Flory and Greg Lutze.^[5][6][7] The VSCO app allows users to capture photos in the app and edit them, using preset filters and editing tools.^[8][9][10]

History[edit]

Visual Supply Company was founded by Joel Flory and Greg Lutze in California in 2011.^[7][11][8] VSCO was launched in 2012.^[12] It raised $40 million from investors in May 2014.^[13] In 2019, VSCO acquired Rylo, a video editing startup founded by the original developer of Instagram’s Hyperlapse.^[14] Visual Supply Company has locations in Oakland, California, where it is headquartered, and Chicago, Illinois.^[15][16] As of 2018, Visual Supply Company has $90 million in funding from investors and over 2 million paying members.^[17]

Usage[edit]

Users must sign up to get an account in order to use the app.^[3]

Photos can be taken or imported from the camera roll, as well as short videos or animated GIFs (known in the app as DSCO; iOS only).^[18] The user can edit their photos through various preset filters, or through the "toolkit" feature which allows finer adjustments to fade, clarity, skin tone, tint, sharpness, saturation, contrast, temperature, exposure, and other properties.^[19] Users have the option of posting their photos to their profile, where they can also add captions and hashtags. Photos can also be exported back into the camera roll or shared with other social networking services. The users also have an option to edit their own videos from their camera roll with the VSCO yearly membership, but they are not able to post camera roll videos to their account on VSCO.

In April 2018, VSCO reached to over 30 million users. ^[20]

JPEG and raw image files can be used.^[21]

"Hi, I accidentally deleted photos in my vsco library without exporting it to my camera roll. Can I still recover it?"

"I deleted by mistake vscocam...There is no way to recover my pictures, isn't it? I used to backup my iPhone on iTunes and iCloud, but I have no idea how to download the vsco backup file."

Tips for VSCO Photo Recovery

When deleting VSCO Cam, you will always receive a pop-up warning that it will delete all of VSCO Cam data, including the VSCO Cam library. At this moment, you should be aware that photos you were currently deleting will be permanently gone if you didn't export photos to camera roll, computer or a cloud service.

Apart from accidental deletion of VSCO images, there are other unexpected situations that you'll lose memories on VSCO, such as update or re-install VSCO app. With backups, VSCO photo recovery would be an easy task with some third-party iPhone photo recovery software. However, if you have never backed up VSCO photos, and photos are not yet moved from VSCO library to device or uploaded, only EaseUS MobiSaver could do some help. 

VSCO Recovery Tutorial: How to Restore Deleted Pictures from VSCO Library?

EaseUS MobiSaver enables VSCO recovery with three modes: recover from iOS device, iCloud backup & iTunes backup. The latter two options are perfect to choose when VSCO library data was automatically backed up. What if no backups at all? Do you still have a slight chance to restore deleted VSCO pictures? Basically, VSCO photos are taken from iPhone's camera roll, which means at least you can try to recover original pictures that were not edited on VSCO. As long as you can find the raw pictures with EaseUS iOS data recovery software, just re-edit on VSCO as you want.

Notice

Again, you can only use EaseUS MobiSaver for VSCO pictures recovery when VSCO app data was synced to iCloud or iTunes cloud storage.

To recover deleted photos from VSCOcam or VSCO library, follow the 3-step guide carefully:

Step 1. Choose a recovery mode depending on your own case and click "Scan" button. To restore VSCO library photos from iCloud backup, you'll be asked to enter your iCloud account and password to log in. 

Step 2. Wait patiently until EaseUS MobiSaver finished scanning iPhone device or iCloud/iTunes backup.

Step 3. After the scanning process, all lost and deleted files will be found and displayed. Click on "Photos/Videos" category, where you can preview all recoverable files. Select the deleted VSCO pictures and click "Recover" button.

Good luck if EaseUS MobiSaver found the disappeared photos on VSCO for you. The best way to prevent your precious memories from vanishing is always backup.

To backup VSCO in iCloud on your iOS device, please follow the steps listed below:

Step 1. Enable iCloud Drive by opening Settings -> iCloud -> iCloud Drive and tap on the slider to enable.

Step 2. In the iCloud Storage menu, tap on 'Manage Storage'.

Step 3. Under 'Backups' tap on your phone name.

Step 4. Under 'Choose Data to back up' be sure that the VSCO app slider is enabled.
