Image Annotation and Commenting | ApproveLoop

IMAGE COMMENTING

Image annotation and commenting

Image commenting in ApproveLoop is a pin on the exact spot, shared through one private link. You upload a PNG, JPEG, or WebP file. Your client opens the link, clicks the image, and writes what should change. The note stays on that version.

This is not machine-learning dataset labeling, and ApproveLoop does not draw shapes, arrows, or freehand markup. It also does not open PDFs, video, or live websites.

What is the simplest way to comment on an image and ask a client to review it?

The simplest way is a numbered pin on the exact spot. In ApproveLoop you upload a PNG, JPEG, or WebP image and send one private link. Your client opens it in a browser, clicks the image, and writes the comment. The pin stays on that version, and you can reply in the same thread. That is client review, not a labeling tool for machine-learning datasets, and it does not draw shapes, arrows, or freehand marks.

From a vague note to a point on the image

Three steps replace a screenshot thread.

  1. 01

    Upload the still image

    Add a PNG, JPEG, or WebP export from your design tool. A drawing, a render, or a flat concept all work the same way.

  2. 02

    The client clicks the spot

    They open your private link and click the image. No account and no app. Submitting the comments counts as one revision round.

  3. 03

    Reply, then upload the next version

    Answer in the thread beside the pin. When the image changes, upload a new version. The first comment stays on the first version.

A pin, not drawn markup

A comment is a numbered pin on a point of the image, plus the words the client writes. ApproveLoop does not add boxes, arrows, or a pen. If you need those marks, make them in your design tool and upload the image. You can reply beside the pin.

The comment does not move

Comments stay on the version that was open. An approval is separate: it records that a named person accepted one version at a given time. Changing the image means a new version and a new review.

What you can comment on

Upload PNG, JPEG, or WebP still images. A drawing, a render, or a flat concept all work the same way. ApproveLoop does not open PDFs, video, 3D models, native design files, or a live website.

Included

  • A numbered pin on a point of the image
  • A reply in the same thread
  • The comment stored on that version

Not included

  • Drawn markup, shapes, or arrows
  • Dataset labeling for machine learning
  • PDF, video, and live websites

Use it when a client needs to show the detail they mean. Architects, interior designers, and 3D artists already review still images this way in ApproveLoop.

Questions about image commenting

  • Can clients draw on the image?

    No. They click a point and write a comment. ApproveLoop does not add freehand marks, shapes, or arrows.

  • Is this image annotation for machine learning?

    No. It is client review of a design image. It does not label datasets or train models.

  • Which files can I upload?

    PNG, JPEG, and WebP. Export the frame you want reviewed. PDF, video, and live web pages are not supported.

  • Do clients need an account?

    No. They use the private link in a browser. They do not install an app or create an account.
