FOR GRAPHIC DESIGNERS
Graphic design client portal
A freelance graphic designer can manage feedback and sign-off by sending image concepts instead of a thread of attachments. ApproveLoop reviews PNG, JPEG, and WebP files: a logo board, a visual identity flat-lay, or another still concept. The client pins a comment and either requests a change or approves that version.
ApproveLoop does not open Illustrator, InDesign, PDF, or other source files, and it does not edit the artwork. An approval is not a legal signature.
Free plan: $0. One active project, no credit card.

EXAMPLE
A logo board, then a simpler mark
Fictional identity board, shown to illustrate a review. Not a customer’s work.
Client Simplify the mark, and use a deeper green.
How should a freelance graphic designer manage client feedback and sign-off?
Send image concepts instead of a thread of attachments. Upload a PNG, JPEG, or WebP logo board or identity flat-lay, share one private link, and let the client pin a comment on the mark or the color. They can request a change or approve that version. ApproveLoop stores the approval on that image. It does not open Illustrator, InDesign, PDF, or other source files.
From a concept board to a recorded decision
The client reacts to the image, and you keep the decision with that version.
-
01
Upload the board
Export the logo board or identity concept as a PNG, JPEG, or WebP image and upload it.
-
02
The client comments on the concept
They open the private link and click the mark, a swatch, or another detail. Submitting those comments counts as one revision round.
-
03
Revise, or record the sign-off
Upload the next direction as a new version, or record approval on the version they accepted. The approval stays on that image.
Feedback on the board, not inside the source file
The client clicks the mark, a color, or another part of the board and writes the change. You reply in the thread. ApproveLoop does not edit the vector artwork. You make the next direction in your own tool and upload it as a new image.
The approved image stays identifiable
Each upload is a version of an image, not a version of the source file. Comments and the approval stay on the image the client saw. A new direction is a new version.
Image concepts, not source files
Review PNG, JPEG, and WebP images of logo boards, identity flat-lays, and other still concepts. ApproveLoop does not edit vectors, open native design files, or proof a live website.
Included
- Logo and identity boards exported as images
- A pin on the mark, a color, or another detail

Not included

Freelance graphic designers and small studios who present logos and visual identities as images and need a comment on a specific part of the board.
Questions from graphic designers
Can I upload an Illustrator file?
No. Export a PNG, JPEG, or WebP image of the concept. ApproveLoop does not open Illustrator, InDesign, PDF, or other source files.
How do I show more than one direction?
Upload each concept as its own image, or as its own version. Comments stay on the image the client was looking at, so a later direction does not inherit the earlier pins.
Is approval a contract?
No. It records that a named person accepted a specific image version at a given time. It is not an electronic signature and it does not replace your contract.
Do clients need an account?
No. They open the private link in a browser, pin a comment, and can approve that version without signing up.
