About

Approval Studio is purpose-built online proofing software for creative teams managing artwork and packaging design approval. Invite external reviewers via a shareable link with no account needed on their end. Review artwork with precision using 5 annotation shapes, live in-tool discussions, a built-in barcode reader, color separation, and 4 version comparison modes. Get all the tools that matter when a label error costs more than a revision round. Manage your team's efficiency with Approval Studio's project management layer. Assign and track tasks, organize projects and assets, store reference documents alongside assets, and get a full timestamped audit trail on every action across every project. Integrate with the tools that support your design review process: Adobe Creative Cloud, Shopify, Slack, and Zapier. Build custom approval workflows with API access and native MCP support.

About

You upload and share - your clients comment and approve. It's easy to save time. Upload your new design directly to WebProof with the free WebProof InDesign Plugin, without the need to produce a PDF. Client's or internal proofreaders receive a link to view the project online. Text edits are suggested directly on the artwork or document. Super-fast overview, even if you work with many projects at once. With one glance you can see which jobs need action and which have been approved - without opening a single document! Companies use this view on a large central monitor with live updates, enabling everyone to follow the progress of the work.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I pretty much enjoyed how flexible and versatile Approval Studio is. One of the features that we use daily is four comparison modes. The differences between 2 artwork versions are found automatically, and we don't need to go from one asset to another constantly. What else made Approval Studio stand out for us was multi-language interface as we work with many foreign clients, and we also use live discussions a lot. Also, their customer support service has always been helpful.

Cons

  • Even though they have Adobe & Slack integrations, it would be great to have more. For example, it would help to have integrated cloud storages like Google Drive, Dropbox instead of just adding links to project references.
