For product and e-commerce photographers
Client approval for product photographers.
“The blue one, third angle, the label’s a bit crooked.” There are four blues and six angles of each.
Product jobs are dozens of near-identical frames, and your client has to say which one. Here each photo can carry its file name under it, so “4471, angle 3” means one photo, and your client pins the note on the label itself.

What your client does on the link.
Your client watches
Your client opens the link on a phone or a computer and watches the film, with the photos right beside it. No account, no app to install.
Your client points at what to change
Your client pauses and types, and the note sticks to that second of the film. On a photo or a PDF page, your client taps the exact spot, and can draw on it.
Your client approves
When it’s right, your client presses Approve and confirms once. The watermark comes off. On a job with photos and film, your client can approve each one separately.
Your client downloads the finals
The full-size files open for download on the same link, one by one or all at once. You don’t send anything new.
One photo out of two hundred.
File names under the photos
Turn on File names, and each photo shows its name under it on your client’s page. Name your files by product and angle, and your client’s note can say exactly which one.
A pin on the label
Your client taps the dust spot, the crooked label or the wrong shade and types. The circle stays where your client tapped.
Folders by product line
Split the job into folders by product or by collection, so the buyer for one line doesn’t scroll through the other.
Approve the set, then download it.
Your client presses Approve once the set is right, and the watermark comes off. The photos download at full size or as a smaller copy for screens. If the shoot had a product film too, your client can approve the photos while the film is still in review.
Color on someone else’s screen.
Most client screens aren’t calibrated, so a color note can be about the screen and not the photo. When a note says the red looks off, ask which device your client is looking on before you change the file. The note carries your client’s name, so you know who to ask.
Short films from the same shoot.
Spins, short ads and social cuts sit on the same page as the stills, and notes on them keep their second.
Questions.
Can my client tell me which photo by its file name?
Yes. Turn on File names for the project and each photo shows its name under it on your client’s page. A photo you’ve replaced shows its round as well, like v2.
Can my client pick favorites?
Yes. Your client hearts the photos they want, and you see those favorites in the project.
Can my client download web-size files?
Yes. Your client chooses full size or a smaller copy for screens, for one photo or the whole set.
Does my client need an account?
No. Your client opens the link in any browser, on a phone or a computer, and types a name the first time they leave a note. There’s nothing to sign up for and no app to install.
What does it cost?
There’s a free plan with 5 GB of room and 1 hour of video, no card needed. Solo is $20 a month with 1 TB and 15 hours of video, and Studio is $59 a month for a team. Every feature is on every plan.
