CLIENT APPROVAL
Client approval software
Client approval software is a shared place to send the work and keep the decision with the file the client saw. ApproveLoop is one private link. The client opens it in a browser, pins a change or approves that version, and does not create an account. Email can deliver a file. It does not record which version was accepted, or keep later comments on that same file.
This is not invoicing, a document library, or a legal signature. Uploads are PNG, JPEG, or WebP.
Free plan: $0. One active project, no credit card.

What is client approval software, and when is it preferable to email?
It is software for sharing visual work and recording a client’s decision on one version. It is preferable to email when a thread of attachments makes it unclear which file was approved. In ApproveLoop the client opens one private link, pins a change or approves that version, and does not create an account. The approval stores their name, the version number, and the time, and it stays on that version. Use email when a short note is enough and you do not need that record.
How a client approves the work
The client sees the images you shared and leaves a decision on the version in front of them.
-
01
Send one private link
The review is the link. Send it when a version is ready. Your client does not create an account.
-
02
They comment, or they approve
They click a point to request a change, or they approve that version. Submitting comments counts as one revision round.
-
03
The record stays on that version
ApproveLoop stores their name, the version number, and the time on that image. A new upload does not inherit the approval.
Changes and approval in the same link
A pin is a request for a change. Approval is the decision to accept that version. The client does both through the same private link, on a phone or a computer. ApproveLoop does not invoice them or store a document library.
The approved file stays identifiable
Email can send the next attachment without showing which earlier file was accepted. ApproveLoop keeps each upload as its own version. Comments and the approval stay on the version the client saw.
What the client can approve
Share PNG, JPEG, or WebP images. The client reviews those stills in the browser. ApproveLoop does not open PDFs, video, 3D models, native design files, or a live website.

Studios that need a client’s yes on a still image without making the client learn a new tool. Architects, interior designers, and 3D artists use the same link.
Questions about client approval
Do clients need an account?
No. They open your private link in a browser, on a phone or a computer. They do not install an app or create an account.
Is it better than email for every project?
Use it when you need a record of which version was accepted. A short email is enough when you do not need that record and the thread will not bury the file.
Is the approval a contract?
No. An approval 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.
Which files can the client approve?
PNG, JPEG, and WebP still images. PDF, video, live websites, and native design files are not supported.
