Pretrained computer vision classifier

Identify composition quality with one API call.

A pretrained composition quality classifier that sorts an image into one of 8 categories — the quality of the composition in the image. Use the composition quality API immediately, no training required, then adapt it to your own data when you need more.

Call the composition quality API

Once you've added this classifier to your console, you get your own copy of it behind your own endpoint. Invoke it with any HTTP client:

curl

curl -X POST "https://www.nyckel.com/v1/functions/YOUR_FUNCTION_ID/invoke" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $NYCKEL_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"data": "https://example.com/photo.jpg"}'

Python

import requests

# Get an access token: https://www.nyckel.com/docs/api/overview/authentication/
token = "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"

response = requests.post(
    "https://www.nyckel.com/v1/functions/YOUR_FUNCTION_ID/invoke",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer " + token},
    json={"data": "https://example.com/photo.jpg"},
)
print(response.json())

Example response

{
  "labelName": "Adequate",
  "labelId": "label_...",
  "confidence": 0.92
}

Under the hood

Model type
Nyckel-trained

Trained on a Nyckel-curated dataset covering 8 composition quality categories, served on Nyckel's own infrastructure — your image stays on Nyckel.

Input
Image

Send an image URL or file to the invoke endpoint; the response is a label with a confidence score.

Make it yours
Adaptable

Clone it, then correct predictions and add your own samples in the console — Nyckel retrains automatically, turning this into a custom model tuned to your data.

More than a demo: this page is one of thousands of pretrained functions on Nyckel, an ML classification platform. You can invoke classifiers by API, review predictions, correct labels, collect samples from production traffic, and promote any pretrained function to a private custom model — without changing your integration.

Where teams use composition quality classification

E-commerce Product Validation

Online retailers can use the composition quality identifier to assess the quality of product images before they are uploaded to their platforms. This ensures that only high-quality images are displayed to customers, potentially increasing conversion rates and customer satisfaction.

Social Media Content Moderation

Social media platforms can implement this function to filter out low-quality or misleading images in user-generated content. By ensuring that only well-composed visuals are shared, platforms can enhance user engagement and maintain brand integrity.

Digital Marketing Campaigns

Marketers can utilize the identifier to evaluate images for advertisements, ensuring that only visually appealing content is used in campaigns. High-composition quality images can lead to better audience retention and higher click-through rates.

Automated Stock Photo Curation

Stock photo agencies can employ the composition quality identifier to automatically categorize and recommend images based on their visual appeal. This streamlines the selection process for users looking for high-quality images for various projects.

Real Estate Listings Enhancement

Real estate platforms can use the function to assess and improve the quality of listings that feature property images. By ensuring that only well-composed photos are highlighted, properties can attract more potential buyers and increase interest.

Graphic Design Quality Control

Graphic design software can integrate the identifier to offer suggestions for image improvement. This can help designers enhance their projects by identifying images needing adjustments in composition before finalizing their designs.

Online Art Marketplaces

Art galleries and marketplaces can utilize the composition quality identifier to curate art listings, ensuring that only high-quality images are presented. This not only improves the browsing experience for buyers but also enhances the perceived value of the artwork being sold.

Common questions

What's the difference between a zero-shot and a Nyckel-trained classifier?

A zero-shot classifier uses a large foundation model's general knowledge to pick between your labels — no task-specific training, so new or edited labels work immediately. A Nyckel-trained classifier has been trained on labeled examples and runs on Nyckel's own infrastructure, which typically makes it faster, cheaper per call, and more accurate on data that resembles its training set. The "Under the hood" section on this page shows which kind this classifier is, and any classifier can be adapted into a trained one by adding your own examples.

How do I know whether this will work for my application?

Honestly: we can't know in advance — it depends on your data stream and how closely it resembles what this classifier has seen. The reliable way to find out is to measure it on your own data: start invoking the classifier with real traffic, or upload and annotate a set of images in the console — make sure they look like your production data, not idealized examples. Nyckel's evaluation metrics then show you exactly how it performs on that data before you rely on it.

What happens when it makes a mistake?

No classifier is perfect, so Nyckel is built around the correction loop: invokes can be captured for review, you confirm or correct predictions in the console, and corrections become training data. Over time the model adapts to your data distribution — accuracy on your traffic improves with use rather than staying fixed.

Do I need training data to get started?

No. This composition quality classifier works out of the box — clone it into your console and you'll have your own API endpoint in under a minute. Training data only enters the picture when you want to adapt it: your corrected predictions and uploaded samples improve the model, and you can also edit the label set to match your needs.

What does it cost to try?

Trying the classifier on this page is free with no signup. Cloning it requires a free account, and the free tier covers your first API calls each month — see nyckel.com/pricing for current limits and paid tiers.

Ready to classify composition quality at scale?

Add this pretrained classifier to your Nyckel console — you'll get a live API endpoint in under a minute, and a path to a custom model when you need one.
