How to Get Your VSCO Link and Share Your Profile
VSCO has quietly become one of the most popular platforms for photographers, creatives, and anyone who wants a cleaner, more curated visual identity online. One of its most useful features is the shareable profile link — a direct URL that lets anyone view your VSCO portfolio without needing an account themselves. If you're trying to share your work, add it to a bio, or send it to a potential client, knowing how to find and use your VSCO link is essential.
What Is a VSCO Link?
Your VSCO link is a public URL that points directly to your VSCO profile. It typically follows this format:
vsco.co/yourusername/images Anyone with that link can browse your published images, even if they don't have a VSCO account. This makes it genuinely useful as a portfolio link — lightweight, visual, and no login required on the viewer's end.
It's worth distinguishing between a few different link types you might encounter on VSCO:
| Link Type | What It Points To |
|---|---|
| Profile link | Your main VSCO gallery page |
| Individual image link | A single photo you've published |
| Journal link | A specific VSCO Journal post |
| Collection link | A curated set of images (if applicable to your account tier) |
For most people asking how to get their VSCO link, the profile link is what they're after.
How to Find Your VSCO Profile Link on Mobile 📱
The VSCO app is where most users spend their time, and finding your link here is straightforward:
- Open the VSCO app and make sure you're logged in.
- Tap your profile icon in the bottom navigation bar.
- Tap the three-dot menu (⋯) or the settings icon near your profile header.
- Look for a "Share Profile" option — this will either copy your link directly or open a share sheet.
- From the share sheet, you can copy the URL, send it via message, or paste it into a bio.
On some versions of the app, you may also see your profile URL displayed directly on your profile page. The exact placement can vary slightly depending on your iOS or Android version and which version of the VSCO app you're running, since the interface has been updated several times.
If the share option isn't immediately visible, go to Settings → Account and look for your username — from there you can manually construct your link using the vsco.co/yourusername format.
How to Find Your VSCO Link on Desktop
If you're using VSCO through a web browser:
- Go to vsco.co and log into your account.
- Click your profile avatar or username to navigate to your profile page.
- Look at the address bar — the URL displayed there is your VSCO profile link.
- Copy it directly from the browser's address bar.
This is often the fastest method if you're already on a computer and need the link to paste somewhere quickly — a resume, a portfolio site, a Linktree, or an email signature.
Making Sure Your Profile Is Public
Before sharing your link, there's one important variable: your privacy settings. VSCO allows users to set their profiles to private, which means your link will technically work, but viewers will be prompted to request access rather than see your images freely.
To check this:
- In the app, go to Profile → Settings → Privacy
- Confirm that your profile visibility is set to Public if you want anyone with the link to view your work without friction
A private profile link still functions as a link — it just creates a gate. Whether that's what you want depends entirely on your use case.
Sharing Individual Image Links
Sometimes you don't want to share your entire profile — you want to point someone to one specific photo. VSCO supports this too.
- Open any published image on your profile.
- Tap the share icon (usually an arrow or three dots).
- Select "Copy Link" or "Share" to get that image's direct URL.
Individual image URLs follow a format like vsco.co/yourusername/media/[image-id]. These are useful for embedding in mood boards, referencing in creative briefs, or sending to collaborators.
VSCO Links and the Free vs. Member Tier
🎯 One thing that affects how your link behaves for viewers: the VSCO membership tier associated with your account influences what content you can publish and how your profile is presented. However, the core profile link itself — the vsco.co/yourusername URL — works regardless of whether you're on a free or paid plan.
What may differ is how much content is visible at that link, how your profile page is laid out, and whether features like Journals or collections are populated. A viewer clicking your link will see whatever you've published and made visible under your current account settings.
Where People Typically Use Their VSCO Link
Understanding the context helps you decide exactly which link format to use:
- Instagram bio — the profile link works well here since it's short and clean
- LinkedIn or resume — useful for creatives establishing a visual portfolio
- Email signature — adds a portfolio reference without requiring a dedicated website
- Linktree or similar bio link tools — VSCO links integrate cleanly alongside other social profiles
- Direct client outreach — sharing a specific image or your full gallery depending on relevance
Each of these contexts has slightly different expectations. A direct client might benefit more from a curated individual image link, while a general bio might call for the full profile URL.
What Shapes Your Experience with VSCO Links
The way your VSCO link performs and what it displays comes down to a handful of personal factors: how much content you've published, whether your profile is public, which account tier you're on, and how you've organized your images. Two people sharing their VSCO links can have very different viewer experiences depending on those variables — and the right link to share in any given moment depends on your own profile setup and what you're trying to communicate.
