- There is no way to directly connect
Instagram andVSCO , the popular social-photo apps, through either platform. - However, you can link your VSCO account in your Instagram profile bio and achieve essentially the same effect.
- VSCO is an app that can be used to edit and enhance photos with a number of easy-to-use filters and editing tools.
VSCO — pronounced "viss-coh" — is a platform primarily intended for serious photographers and photo editing.
As such, there is less social media emphasis on the VSCO app experience compared to the user experience of other photo platforms like mobile-first Instagram.
But both sites often and understandably have crossover in their user base. So having a way to link the two platforms for posting and sharing, in the way you might Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, and Instagram isn't an unusual request. It's just that it's not possible yet, at least not through a tool on the platforms themselves.
There is however a workaround. If you want to share your professional-quality photo work with a larger social media audience, the best way to do it is by linking VSCO and Instagram through your own profile.
Here's how to do it.
