VSCO has widely released its camera app for the iPhone. The app, called Capture, lets you switch between VSCO’s filters and make adjustments before snapping a photo or recording a video.

VSCO has become known for the array of filters available within its photo and video editing platform, but with Capture, you can control its effects in real-time. The app comes with 58 real-time VSCO presets, while offering manual controls that let you control shutter speed, apply a bloom or halation effect, adjust exposure, and more.

You can also choose to shoot photos in RAW and ProRAW, as well as transfer photos to VSCO’s main image editing app for access to more tools. Halide offers a similar iPhone app that gives users more control over their camera, and also includes a feature that strips photos of AI processing.

VSCO first started testing Capture in Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand in June, but now it’s officially available to download for free on the App Store.
