Know exactly which version your client approved

Approval Portal gives each project one review link. Your client comments and approves in the browser, with no account to create — and the approval is recorded against that exact file, down to its checksum.

7-day trial. No card required to start.

The problem it solves

A client says "I approved that". You have four rounds of artwork, three email threads and a thumbnail that looks the same in all of them. Nobody is lying — there is just no record of which file the yes attached to.

This tool keeps that record. When someone approves, the approval is tied to one version's SHA-256 checksum. Upload a new version tomorrow and the old approval stays exactly where it was: it does not carry over, and the new version starts unapproved.

How it works

Upload a version. PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP or PDF, up to 25 MB. The file is checked to confirm it is what it claims to be.
Create a review link for your client, set to comment-only or allowed to approve, with an expiry date.
Send the link yourself. This product sends no email — more on that below.
They comment and approve in the browser. No account, no password, no software to install.
Export the record as CSV or JSON: who approved, which version, which file, which checksum, when.

Things worth knowing before you try it

Stated here rather than discovered in week two.

It sends no email. None at all. You copy the review link and send it from your own address, so your client hears from you rather than from software they have never heard of. It also means there are no automatic reminders or notifications.
Storage is not unlimited. 5 GB per agency, 25 MB per file.
It is not a video player. Files are stored and downloaded, not streamed or transcoded. For frame-accurate video notes, other tools do that better.
Forgotten passwords are reset by us, not by an automatic email, for the same reason as the first point.

The full list of limitations ships with the product.

Who it is for

Small design, video and marketing agencies who send work to clients for sign-off and want a record of it afterwards. If your clients already approve inside a tool you both like, you do not need this.
