VSCO alternative that copies any look
Duper is a VSCO alternative for iPhone and Android built around one job: copying a look you already found. Share an Instagram post, Reel or Pin, and Duper matches its colour, light and grain to each of your photos and videos. It is free to try, and Super Duper costs $39.99 a year.

Questions
Is Duper a good VSCO alternative?
Yes, if what you want from VSCO is the look you saw on someone's photo. Duper copies that look from the post itself and matches it to each of your photos and videos. If you want a full editor with HSL, dodge and burn, a RAW camera or a photo community, VSCO does more.
Can Duper copy a VSCO filter from someone's photo?
Yes. Share the post or a screenshot of it to Duper. Duper reads the look from the photo itself, so it works whatever app made it, a VSCO filter included. It copies the look, not the filter's name.
Is VSCO free?
VSCO has a free Starter plan with 15 presets. Pro costs $59.99 a year or $12.99 a month, and VSCO One costs $499.99 a year, according to vsco.co in November 2026. Duper is free with unlimited looks and previews and 3 saves a week, and Super Duper costs $39.99 a year.
Does Duper have its own filters like VSCO?
Duper's looks come from the posts you pick, so there is no pack to scroll through. For a ready-made start, try the free film and camera looks on a photo in your browser or download them as Lightroom presets.
Does Duper work on Android?
Yes. Duper is on Google Play with everything but the live camera, which is iPhone only. VSCO says its Pro and One plans are available on iOS and desktop only.
Can I take the look into Lightroom?
Yes. With Super Duper, any look you copy saves as a Lightroom preset, an .xmp file for desktop and a .dng file for the free Lightroom mobile app, along with a Fujifilm recipe.
Does Duper upload my photos?
No. Duper matches the look on your phone, and the photos and videos you edit stay there. Duper needs no account and no sign up.
