Release 2026.03

OVERVIEW

In partnership with the University of Cambridge, we updated our RHINO scoring algorithm for 2026. This reflects real-world legibility with tighter tolerances for pass and fail.  

We have gathered user feedback following these changes and listened to your challenges. Hopefully, you see this reflected with the updates included in this release.

Our definition of success hasn’t changed:  

We continue to help YOU create best-in-class, glance-readable, mobile-ready hero images, PDP Carousel images and Retail media banners that let’s online shoppers quickly and comfortably read critical text.

What’s New?

Help Desk
Rhino now has an integrated help centre in place to provide a hub for help articles and FAQs as well as the ability to raise support issues and even request new features to be considered in our roadmap. You can access the help desk and context-specific articles from the new buttons at the top of the screen.

Pass Size Indicator
Rhino now displays the percentage (%) distance from the required font size to pass. This will help your team make informed design decisions and achieve the required standard which is to pass at AA. This feature is available when mousing (hovering) over the ❌ or ✅ symbols.

New Image Sizes

A 20mm North American (US and Canada) Hero image thumbnail size is also available in the drop-down parameters menu. This feature is for brands whose retailers have larger thumbnail image sizes.

PDP Gallery Carousel images can also now be tested using the 60mm (Full width Mobile) dropdown.

Single 'A' Accessibity

Cambridge Visual Clarity now includes Single A Accessibility (30%) alongside AA (50%) and AAA (70-80%) inclusion. 

Please note that new image sizes and the A level will not be available for images tested prior to this release.

Result Mapping

We now assign numbers to text results to make mapping results to the bounding boxes on the image easier. Hovering over the boxes will also now highlight the corresponding text on the image.

UI/UX Improvements

We have made several UI/UX improvements, including colouring the boxes on results based on the overall pass/fail rather than only APCA result and refreshing our PDF report layout.

Bug Fixes

• Resolved issues exporting to PDF
• Removed round corners on Thumbnail images to correctly see the full image
• Resolved overlapping image issue in Safari
• Addressed filter display issues
• Addressed Inconsistent Button Hover Styles
• Resolved an issue where in some cases Rhino was accidentally sampling nearby text or elements causing the text to be measured larger than it actually is.
