12 VSCO Filters Settings That Will Help You Get The Perfect Instagram Feed

Instagram is one of the most popular social media platforms in recent years, boasting a total figure of 1 billion users worldwide. With Instagram, we post all sorts of content — from blurry selfies and overly-filtered group photos to strategically curated outfit photos and brilliantly photoshopped pictures.

After years of using Instagram, we have come to realise that this image-heavy platform works well with multiple third-party applications, with one of them being the ever-so-popular VSCO Cam. This premium photo-editing app brings you a variety of filters along with some fool-proof editing tools.

Ask around and you'll find that the majority uses this premium third-party app. But why do their photos look so much better than yours? If you've always wanted a curated feed with a standardised filter, this post is for you. In this post, we have collected 12 such filter settings you can try on your photos.
