How to Add Your VSCO Link to an Instagram Bio

To put your VSCO profile on Instagram, first get the address of your own VSCO profile. Then open your Instagram profile, choose Edit profile, find Links, and add the VSCO address as an external link. Save the change and open your Instagram profile as a visitor would to check the destination. The important detail is the complete address: VSCO says a profile link needs vsco.co/ before the username. For example, the format is https://vsco.co/yourusername, with your real VSCO username in place of the example.

This guide is about a VSCO profile, the public page that shows work you have posted to your VSCO Grid. It is not the link to a single image, a private Studio draft, or a separate VSCO Site. The steps below keep those destinations distinct so you can choose the one you actually want people to open.

Find and check your VSCO profile URL

Open the VSCO app while signed in to the account you want to share. VSCO's profile-sharing instructions say to tap your Profile icon and then Edit to find the profile web address and sharing options. Depending on your device's share menu, you may be able to copy the address directly or share it to another app and copy it from there. If the app shows only your username, construct the profile address as https://vsco.co/ followed immediately by that username. Do not include an @, spaces, or the words “yourusername” from the example.

Before editing Instagram, paste the address into your phone's browser. Check that it opens your VSCO profile, shows the username you intended, and leads to the work you are comfortable showing publicly. This quick check catches a mistyped username and the common mistake of pasting only the username into Instagram's URL field. If you have more than one VSCO account, confirm that you copied the profile for the right account.

You can also share an individual VSCO image, but that address is different from your profile address. If your aim is to let visitors browse your Grid, use the profile URL. If your aim is a specific project, decide whether that image, a Gallery, or a published VSCO Site is a better destination and label it honestly. This article does not assume that a profile link can stand in for those other kinds of pages.

Add the URL to Instagram's profile links

Use the Instagram app on the account whose profile you want to edit. Open your profile and tap Edit profile. Look for Links; within that section, choose the option to add an external link or website. Paste the full VSCO URL, add a short title such as “My VSCO photos” if Instagram offers a title field, and save. Instagram changes interface labels over time and may show different screens by device, so follow the equivalent profile-link controls if the wording on your screen differs.

Return to your Instagram profile after saving. Tap the displayed link or the group of links beneath your profile information. Confirm that the VSCO destination opens and that its username matches yours. It is useful to test from another signed-out browser session if you can: a link that works only because you are signed in may not show visitors what you expect. The test is about whether the URL resolves and displays the intended public content; it does not predict traffic or engagement.

Put the URL in Instagram's Links area rather than typing it only as plain text in the biography paragraph. The profile's link control is the place Instagram provides for an external destination. Your bio text can still explain what the link contains in ordinary language. For instance, “Recent photography on VSCO” tells visitors what they will find without promising a result.

Can you keep other Instagram profile links?

Yes, where the current profile-link feature is available. The inherited version of this article says Instagram allows only one profile link. That rule is outdated: Meta announced support for up to five Instagram profile links in 2023. You do not normally need to replace your website, shop, or another portfolio just to add VSCO, provided your account has an available link slot.

Review the list of destinations already on your profile before adding one. If the profile-link editor offers a title, name the VSCO destination so visitors can distinguish it from a website or contact page. If the editor offers an order control, place the destination you most want visitors to see where it makes sense for that profile. Then look at the saved profile itself, because the visitor-facing layout may show fewer details until someone taps the link group. These are presentation choices, not evidence that one order will produce more clicks.

If you have reached the number of links Instagram permits, remove or replace an outdated destination before adding a new one. A separate link page is an optional choice if you truly need to organize more destinations, but Instagram's native multiple-link feature means it is not required merely to show both a VSCO profile and another website. Choose the arrangement that accurately represents the destinations you maintain.

Fix a VSCO link that does not open correctly

First, inspect the URL itself. A working profile address should include the VSCO domain before your username, such as https://vsco.co/yourusername. VSCO specifically calls out the missing vsco.co/ prefix in its sharing help. Paste the address into a browser outside Instagram. If it fails there, correct it in VSCO or check your username before changing Instagram settings again.

If the browser opens the wrong VSCO account, compare the displayed VSCO username with the characters after vsco.co/ in your link. A copied image URL can also lead to one photo when you meant to show a whole profile. Return to your VSCO Profile icon and use the profile-sharing option rather than an image's share button.

If the URL works in a browser but does not appear on Instagram, revisit Edit profile → Links and check that you saved the change on the correct Instagram account. If you manage several accounts, switch to each profile deliberately; a link added to one profile will not automatically appear on another. If the editor shows an error, try pasting the full address again and follow any explanation Instagram gives. The precise error and its remedy depend on Instagram's current controls, so avoid assuming that a missing link is a VSCO outage.

If an old profile link continues to appear, open the saved Links list and edit or remove that entry, then check the public profile again. A username change on VSCO is another reason to retest a previously working address. Updating the Instagram link after a VSCO name change is safer than expecting an old username URL to continue working.

Check what sharing the profile reveals

A VSCO profile link is a public destination. VSCO says its Profile and Grid are public: there is no setting to hide the whole account or Grid. Making your Instagram account private does not change that VSCO setting. Putting that address on Instagram makes it easier for someone who views your Instagram profile to find the VSCO account, including the posts and profile details you have chosen to publish there. Review that page before you link it, especially if you use different names or identities on the two services.

VSCO distinguishes public Profile posts from work kept in Studio. According to the same VSCO privacy guide, imports in Studio stay private until you post them. If you want to show a smaller selection to a client or group instead of your public Grid, VSCO points to a Gallery or Space as a separate sharing option. Check the permissions of whichever destination you choose; a publicly shared profile URL is not a privacy control for the content behind it.

You can remove the Instagram link later through your profile's Links editor. That removes the pointer from your Instagram profile; it does not make already posted VSCO content private or erase copies of a URL someone may already have saved. Before you share, decide whether the public profile contains the work and personal details you want connected to this Instagram account.

Quick check before you finish

Confirm four things: the address contains vsco.co/ and your correct username; it opens the intended VSCO page in a browser; Instagram shows it in the profile's link area after you save; and the VSCO page contains only material you are comfortable connecting to your Instagram identity. If one check fails, fix that specific step rather than creating a second link to the same broken destination. The result you want is simple: a visitor can tap the Instagram profile link and reach the VSCO page you deliberately chose.
