Question 1

Is REVIEWR really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes — REVIEWR is free to use. Sign up and verify your email to get 2 fresh critiques every day, resetting at midnight UTC, plus free quests, community challenges, and the gallery. No subscription or payment method is required. Optional one-time critique packs are available if you need more.

Question 2

What is an AI photo critique?

Accepted Answer

An AI photo critique is instant, unbiased written feedback on your photograph — scored across composition, lighting, color, focus, story, and technical quality, with concrete suggestions to improve. No waiting for forums, no opinion bias, no judgment — just clear feedback you can act on in seconds.

Question 3

Are my photographs used to train an AI?

Accepted Answer

No — absolutely not. Your photos are never used to train any AI model. When you upload a photo, it is securely sent to the AI for real-time analysis only. Once your critique is generated, the AI provider does not retain your image. Your work remains yours.

Question 4

How does the AI critique work?

Accepted Answer

Our AI analyses your photograph across multiple dimensions — composition, lighting, color, storytelling, and technical execution. It provides a detailed breakdown with specific, actionable feedback tailored to your skill level and chosen focus area. Think of it as having a knowledgeable mentor available around the clock.

Question 5

Is the feedback actually useful, or is it generic?

Accepted Answer

Every critique is generated specifically for your image. The AI considers your stated skill level, preferred genre, and focus area to deliver feedback that is relevant and constructive. It highlights what you are doing well and where you can improve — no cookie-cutter responses.

Question 6

What file formats are supported?

Accepted Answer

We support JPEG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC formats. iPhone users can upload photos directly without converting them first. Images are scaled to a maximum of 2000px on the longest edge and saved in WebP format. EXIF metadata (camera settings like aperture, shutter speed, ISO) is extracted from your original file before compression and displayed with your critique. Your complete image is always preserved — no cropping is applied.

Question 7

How many critiques do I get?

Accepted Answer

REVIEWR is free to use. Every account gets 2 fresh critiques every day, resetting at midnight UTC without stacking. No subscription or payment method is required for your daily critiques. If you want more feedback, optional one-time critique packs are available. Quests and community challenges are free to enter, and crowned quest winners can earn extra critiques.

Question 8

What happens to my photos after I upload them?

Accepted Answer

Your photos are stored securely in your private account. They are only visible to you unless you choose to share them to the public Gallery. You can delete your photos and critiques at any time from your history.

Question 9

Can I share my critiques publicly?

Accepted Answer

Yes! After receiving a critique, you can share it to the community Gallery with a single click. You control whether the score is visible and can add a caption. Other photographers can like and comment on your posts.

Question 10

What is the XP and levelling system?

Accepted Answer

Every critique you receive earns you XP (experience points). As you accumulate XP, you level up and unlock achievements and badges. Completing quests and participating in challenges earns bonus XP. It is a way to track your growth as a photographer over time.

Question 11

Will REVIEWR stay free?

Accepted Answer

The current core offering includes 2 free critiques every day, with no subscription or payment method required. Optional one-time critique packs give you more feedback, and donations help cover running costs. We monitor usage and costs to keep REVIEWR sustainable and will be transparent about any future changes.

Question 12

Who is behind REVIEWR?

Accepted Answer

REVIEWR is built by photographers, for photographers. We are a small, independent team based in Germany, passionate about helping people improve their craft through accessible, honest feedback powered by the latest AI technology.
