Adjust film preset strength
Edit film character
Unlike a single-look filter, Film X presets are built on a physical model of real film behavior. Character captures the full range of each film's personality, from subtle shifts in tone to more expressive interpretations. Explore the nuanced unpredictability that defines real analog film by adjusting the film filter’s character slider.
Adjust film filter warmth
Warmth lets you fine-tune the color balance of your film emulation, just as a lab technician would during the scanning process. Whether you're looking for a golden hour film filter or leaning into cooler tones, this control preserves the film-like realism of your picture while leaving room for creative customization.
Batch edit with film filters on desktop
Apply film filters to multiple images at once with the VSCO desktop online photo editor for Mac and Windows PC. Select images in bulk and add a film filter to create a consistent film emulation through batch editing.
