What you get on every ad
A score out of 100
One number for each asset, so everyone signs off against the same standard.

Scored across 200+ attributes in 10 categories, with an explanation for each.
The five changes that matter most
The summary lists the fixes that will move the score most, in order.
Eye-tracking heatmaps
See where attention goes first, and what is likely to be missed.
How it works
Upload the ad
An image, a PDF or a video, up to 30 MB. Images can be PNG, JPG, GIF, WEBP or BMP, and multi-page PDFs are scored page by page.
Pick the objective
The weighting follows it. A conversion ad is judged more on attention and the call to action; a brand ad more on memorability.
Fix, then rescore
Work through the top changes and check the new version before it goes to the client.
Most analyses take a couple of minutes.
For agencies
One colour scale for every client
Every ad gets a score out of 100, shown in colour. Creative Score sets default colours for each score range, and you can change them to match your team’s or client’s standards. Anything outside the colour range you want goes back to the designer with the list of fixes, before the client sees it.
Brand Settings and separate workspaces keep each client’s work apart, on every plan. Invite your team and freelancers to the same workspace.

Every score shows its working
Each asset is scored against 200+ attributes in 10 categories, from headline and copy to visuals, emotion and eye tracking. The attributes come from marketing and behavioural science research.
A high score means the asset follows patterns that research links to stronger results.
