Hear from our Customers

Here’s a couple of reviews from our customers who have optimized their design review process using Approval Studio

Approval Studio has been a game changer for us at TrophySmack. We deal with a lot of custom designs, and before this, our proofing process invloved alot of back and forth emails, screenshots, and random apps. Now everything sits in one clean workflow. Creating a project by order number, uploading the design, and sharing proofs straight with the customer is fast and easy. The best part is getting feedback directly on the mockup instead of trying to decode what “move that thing a little to the left” means. It cut miscommunication, saved our design team time, and made the customer experience smoother. If you run a Shopify store with custom or print-on-demand items, this tool just makes life better.

Incorporating Approval Studio into our proofing process has made the company more organized and efficient. Our team has fewer emails and the job details are easy to find and track. In addition, we are printing fewer proofs, making us more “green”. Approval Studio team has been extremely flexible and listens to our input on the platform so that we get the most out of it.

We used to work in an old-fashioned style, sending all the info via email. Of course, some of my requests were missed and I had to repeat something again and again in every new iteration. With Approval Studio, the process has entirely changed, as all the comments are saved and I can easily track the changes with the help of built-in features, such as a comparison tool.

Frequently Asked Questions

Approval Studio is an online artwork approval and design review platform for creative teams, agencies, and studios. It replaces email-based feedback with a centralized workspace where clients and stakeholders can annotate files, compare versions, and formally approve artwork without creating an account or installing software

Approval Studio is built for creative teams, design agencies, in-house marketing departments, and studios that produce work requiring client or stakeholder sign-off. It’s used across packaging, branding, graphic design, and advertising by teams of any size that need a structured, traceable artwork approval process.

Upload your artwork file, share a review link with your client or stakeholders, and collect annotated feedback directly on the file. Reviewers approve or request changes with a single click, no account required. Every decision is timestamped and stored in a downloadable proof report.

No. Approval Studio generates a short review link that clients open in any browser, without registration or software installation. They annotate directly on the artwork, leave comments, and formally approve or request changes. Every action is recorded with their name and timestamp

Yes, on Pro plans and above. Approval Studio’s workflow automation chains sequential review stages (designer uploads, client reviews, manager approves) with automatic notifications at each step. This removes manual chasing and keeps artwork approvals moving without anyone having to follow up.

Yes. Approval Studio’s Pro plan is available as a free trial, no credit card required, no software to install. Teams wanting a guided walkthrough of the full Pro feature set, including workflow automation and integrations, can also book a free personal demo.
