Advanced image understanding, as an API

A cloud service that looks at your images and returns rich, per-image intelligence in seconds — the building blocks for any product that needs to understand photos. Powered by vision-language models and image embeddings, it goes beyond labels to read aesthetics, people, framing, and how images relate. Your app sends photos; the API streams back structured results as each one finishes.

Early access — available to design partners

The problem

Understanding photos by hand doesn’t scale

Whether you’re building a photobook, curating a gallery, moderating uploads, or organizing a media library, the hard part is the same: judging what each image shows and how good it is. Doing that by hand across hundreds or thousands of images is slow, inconsistent, and doesn’t scale.

What it sees

Every photo, understood

Aesthetic quality

A score for how visually strong each photo is — so the best shots surface first.

Faces

Where people are in the frame — the anchors of any personal photobook.

Region of interest

The part of the image that matters most — for smart, subject-aware cropping.

Framing / zoom

Close-up, mid, or wide — so layouts mix shot types naturally.

Visual similarity

A fingerprint of each photo — to group related shots and skip near-duplicates.

Why teams build on it

Made to ship

Streamed results

Submit a batch and get an immediate acknowledgment; results stream back over a real-time channel as each photo is analyzed, so you never poll for status.

Parallel processing

Photos in a batch are processed in parallel, so a 10-photo batch and a 500-photo batch return on a similar timeline.

Fully managed cloud service

The analysis runs on our infrastructure — there are no models to host, no GPUs to provision, and nothing to keep updated on your side.

Simple to integrate

One REST call to submit, one real-time subscription to receive. No ML expertise required on your side.

Vision-language models + embeddings

Vision-language models read image content and quality; image embeddings turn every photo into a vector for similarity and near-duplicate detection.

Built for a real workload

The analysis pipeline was first built to power automatic photobook design, so it is shaped around real, unsorted camera rolls rather than clean benchmark sets.

How it fits

The perception layer for your product

The API’s structured, per-image output plugs straight into whatever you’re building — auto-layout and smart cropping for a photobook, ranking and filtering for a gallery, safety checks for user uploads, or organization for a media library. You get clean signals; your product decides what to do with them.

Data handling

Where your images go

Processed, then discarded. You send images to the cloud API; they are analyzed, the results are returned, and the images are not retained after analysis.

Hosted in Switzerland and the EU. The cloud service runs in Swiss and EU regions.
