What AI model does REVIEWR use?

REVIEWR uses Google's Gemini 3.1 Pro for primary photo critiques and re-critiques, with Gemini 3.1 Flash for follow-up questions and portfolio analysis.

Is there a paid tier?

Not at the moment. REVIEWR is free for everyone while the team monitors usage. Optional support or membership tiers may be introduced later, but the core service will remain free.

What is an AI photo critique?

An AI photo critique is instant, unbiased written feedback on your photograph — scored across composition, lighting, creativity, color and tone, story and mood, 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.

Is REVIEWR better than posting my photo to a forum or Reddit for critique?

It is faster and more consistent. Forums and subreddits are free but you wait hours for replies, the answers contradict each other, and much of the feedback is about gear or personal taste rather than the photograph. REVIEWR returns a critique in under a minute, privately, using the same published rubric for every photo, so scores are comparable over time and every point comes with written reasoning.

Technical Quality — 10% of your score

Technical quality: the smallest category, and that is deliberate

Technical quality is only 10% of your score. Sharpness matters, but a razor-sharp photo of a boring subject should never outrank a slightly soft photo with a real idea — so the rubric weights it accordingly.

What REVIEWR grades here

Focus placement and critical sharpness where it counts
Noise handling relative to the shooting conditions
Artefacts: halos, banding, over-sharpening, heavy-handed denoise
Lens handling — distortion, fringing, flare control

What strong work looks like

Focus lands on the thing the photo is about
Grain reads as texture, not as mush
Edits hold up at 100% without visible processing artefacts

What costs you points

Sharpening applied globally until edges glow
Focus on the nearest eyelash instead of the eye
Chasing perfect pixels while ignoring the other 90% of the score

This week's drill

Open your last ten photos at 100% and mark exactly where focus landed on each. If more than two missed the intended point, your focus mode is the problem, not your lens.
