Prevue · Image ranking
Know which creative deserves to reach the client
For image-makers and creative teams. Blind-rank the shortlist with your own people before it goes out — no hierarchy bias, no thread full of opinions, no outside panel seeing unreleased work.
Prevue works like an eye exam for your images: two at a time, quick gut call, next pair. Your choices build a tournament bracket where the strongest work keeps advancing — and the final order tells you how settled each position is. On your own, it is the same thing with one person in the room.
3 free sessions · Up to 20 images each · No credit card required
For the 30 or so images you have narrowed to — not the two thousand you shot, rendered, or generated. Bring the ones you are stuck on.

The top three separated cleanly. Images 04 and 05 kept trading places right to the end, so the ranking says they are too close to call instead of picking one for you.
The shortlist is where the argument happens
Twelve concepts and everyone likes a different one. Six opinions in a thread, one of them from whoever runs the room. The version that ships is often the one somebody defended most recently — and a week later nobody can reconstruct why it won.
Prevue takes the names off. Everyone judges the same pairs without knowing whose work is whose, and nobody judges their own. What comes back is an order with its confidence attached, and a record of how it got there.
How it works
From a shortlist you cannot split to a ranked set. A 20-image set settles in roughly 60–80 calls — four to eight minutes.
Drop in the shortlist
Drag in the images you cannot choose between — the near-duplicates, the two edits of the same shot, the three that are all fine. PNG, JPEG, or WebP, up to 25 MB each. Your originals stay in your account and are never exposed to evaluators.
Compare side-by-side
See two at a time and pick the stronger one. Fast, intuitive decisions — most evaluators choose in under 3 seconds. No rating scales, no calibration.
Get the set in order
Every head-to-head feeds the ranking, like a tournament bracket where the strongest work keeps advancing. You see which images win — and which positions are still too close to call.
Built for creative professionals
Everything you need to make data-backed image decisions.
Your team judges the work, not the person who made it
Everyone judges the same pairs without seeing whose image is whose, and nobody judges their own upload. Seniority stops being a variable. What comes back is an order nobody has to relitigate — and a PDF you can put in front of a client.
Know when to stop looking
Every image gets a score, and the ranking shows which positions have settled and which are still too close to call. You stop when the order stops moving, not when you get tired of looking.
Get outside eyes without showing your work around
The Current is a community evaluation pool where verified evaluators across the platform rank your images. Diverse feedback beyond your own team — on watermarked copies, never your originals.
Evaluators never touch your raw files
Server-side watermarking, signed URLs that expire in 15 minutes, and separate storage for originals. What an evaluator loads is a watermarked copy that stops working in a quarter of an hour.
Proven methodology, applied to images
Prevue ranks the way a tournament does — every matchup counts. The method underneath is a Bradley-Terry model, the standard way of turning “A beat B” results into a ranking.
- The eye-doctor method: which looks better — one, or two?
- A Bradley-Terry model turns those calls into an order, the same method used to rank teams from head-to-head results
- Nobody judges their own work, and no evaluator sees whose image they are ranking
- Smart matchups put your toughest calls — the near-duplicates — head-to-head first
- Quality checks quietly verify evaluators are paying attention
The model: Bradley & Terry (1952), “Rank Analysis of Incomplete Block Designs”, Biometrika. Prevue runs it through the open-source openskill library.
The three things people ask first
The rest are on the pricing page.
Can evaluators download or steal my images?
No. Every image shown during evaluation is composited with a diagonal watermark pattern on the server — it cannot be removed with browser tools. Image URLs expire after 15 minutes and cannot be reused. Your unwatermarked originals are stored separately and only accessible to you.
How many comparisons does it take to get reliable rankings?
For a typical 20-image session, roughly 60-80 comparisons produce statistically stable results — about 4-8 minutes of active evaluation. The system shows you confidence scores in real-time so you know exactly when rankings are reliable.
Is there a refund policy?
Yes. If you are not satisfied, contact us within 14 days of your first payment for a full refund. Annual plans are prorated if cancelled after the first 14 days.
