PicSpeak is an AI photo critique tool that scores your photos across composition, lighting, color, impact, and technique, and provides actionable improvement suggestions to help you improve your photography.

Guests can critique 3 photos per day (30/month) for free with no sign-up. Free accounts get 60/month, and Pro accounts have unlimited critiques with permanent history and priority processing.

What image formats does PicSpeak support?

PicSpeak supports JPG, PNG, and WebP formats, up to 20 MB per file. Images are automatically compressed on upload — no manual resizing needed.

How does AI photo critique work?

Upload a photo and PicSpeak's AI evaluates five dimensions: composition, lighting, color, impact, and technique. Each dimension receives an individual score along with written analysis and concrete improvement suggestions.

Are my uploaded photos kept private?

Uploaded photos are used only for AI analysis and are never shared publicly with other users. Guest analysis results are not retained long-term, and all storage is encrypted.
