Visual Hierarchy Analysis Tools for Designers
Validate your design decisions with instant AI analysis. See what users will notice before a single line of code is written.
Why Visual Hierarchy Matters in Designers
As a designer, you understand visual hierarchy intuitively—but explaining and validating those decisions to stakeholders is another challenge entirely. BlurTest gives you objective data to support your design choices. Instead of debating opinions, show exactly what captures attention and how the eye flows through your designs. Whether you're presenting to clients, collaborating with developers, or refining your own work, BlurTest provides the validation you need.

Visual Hierarchy Best Practices for Designers
Expert tips to optimize your designs
1Test early and often
Don't wait until the design is 'finished' to test. Early testing catches hierarchy issues before they're expensive to fix.
2Compare variations side-by-side
When exploring options, test multiple variations to see which creates the clearest visual hierarchy.
3Document your analysis
Save BlurTest results as part of your design documentation. It helps explain decisions months later.
4Use blur view in client presentations
The blur view is immediately intuitive to non-designers. Use it to explain hierarchy to clients and stakeholders.
5Test across device sizes
Visual hierarchy can change dramatically between desktop and mobile. Test both to ensure your design works everywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about visual hierarchy in designers
How does BlurTest help with stakeholder buy-in?
BlurTest provides objective data that removes subjectivity from design discussions. Instead of 'I think the CTA should be bigger,' you can show 'The CTA currently ranks 4th in visual prominence—here's how it looks when we adjust it.' Data-driven discussions lead to faster decisions.
Can I use BlurTest with Figma designs?
Yes. Export your Figma frames as PNG or JPG and upload them directly to BlurTest. Many designers integrate this into their workflow, testing key screens before handoff.
How is this different from just squinting at my screen?
The blur test technique is valuable, but BlurTest adds quantitative analysis—attention heatmaps, prominence scores, visual flow paths, and actionable recommendations. Plus, you can share results with others who might not have the same trained eye.
Should I test every screen I design?
Focus on high-impact screens: landing pages, key conversion points, onboarding flows, and anywhere users make important decisions. These are where hierarchy matters most for business outcomes.
How can I use BlurTest to improve my design skills?
Use BlurTest as a learning tool. Test your designs, then study successful designs from companies you admire. Over time, you'll develop stronger intuition for what creates effective visual hierarchy.
