About this app

Snap a photo of any artwork or photograph and get an instant AI-powered critique. Artsplainer analyses composition, technique, colour, mood, and more — helping artists and photographers of all levels understand and improve their work.

Four analysis depths

Quick Review (1 credit)
A fast overview covering style, period, and one key observation. Perfect for a second opinion while browsing a gallery.

In-Depth Critique (3 credits)
Covers technique, mood, influences, and similar artists. Ideal for understanding what makes a piece work.

Detailed Analysis (5 credits)
A comprehensive breakdown with improvement suggestions. Great for artists looking to develop their skills.

Competition Judge (2 credits)
A scored critique modelled on photography competition judging. Get a percentage score with detailed feedback on technical execution, composition, and artistic merit. Used by photography clubs for practice and competitions.

2. Optionally add a title for context

Companion app and plugins

Analyse images directly from your desktop workflow. The free companion app for Windows connects to your phone account, and plugins for Adobe Lightroom Classic and Photoshop let you send images for analysis with one click.

For photography clubs

Artsplainer offers group features for photography clubs and art societies. Members get discounted credits, and clubs can use the Competition Judge tier for scored critiques in competitions. Club administrators get a dedicated portal to manage members and view results.

Privacy first

Your images are processed and immediately discarded — we never store them. No tracking, no ads, no account required to start. You get 50 free credits when you first open the app.
