Photo Proofing Tool for Photographers | Reviewer

Photo proofing without the headaches

You shot the session. You culled, edited, and exported the selects. Now comes the part every photographer dreads: getting the client to actually review them.

You email a gallery link or a zip file. The client opens it three days later. They reply with “I like IMG_4872 but can you brighten the one where I’m standing by the window? Not that window, the other one.” You spend twenty minutes figuring out which photo they mean. Then their partner chimes in with different picks, and suddenly you’re managing a spreadsheet of conflicting selections.

A photo proofing tool for photographers should make this simple. Reviewer does. Upload your photos, share a link, and let clients approve, reject, and annotate directly on the images.

How Reviewer works for photo proofing

Upload your gallery

Export your edited photos as JPG or PNG and upload them to Reviewer. Each image can be up to 20MB, so you can share full-resolution exports. Upload the whole gallery at once — it takes under 30 seconds.

Share the review link

Copy the unique URL and send it to your client. They open it in any browser. No app to download, no account to create. Their partner, their wedding planner, their art director — everyone can access the same link.

Clients select and annotate

In approval mode, clients go through each photo and approve or reject with a single click. Need more detailed feedback? They can pin annotations directly on the image — clicking on a face to say “brighten here” or pointing at a background element to say “can we crop this out?”

Deliver the finals

Once your client has made their selections, you have a clear, organized list. No more cross-referencing file numbers against email descriptions. Edit the approved photos and deliver.

Features photographers actually use

Approval mode for fast selects

This is the core of photo proofing. Clients see each image and tap approve or reject. You get a definitive list of selections — not a paragraph of “I think I like…” responses. It’s the simplest way to handle the image feedback process.

Pin annotations for edit requests

When a client wants retouching work, vague descriptions don’t cut it. “Fix my arm” could mean anything. With pin annotations, they click the exact spot on the photo and type their request. “Remove this blemish” is pinned to the blemish. “Brighten this area” is pinned to the area. Every edit request has visual context.

A/B comparison for variant picks

Shot the same pose from two angles? Delivered two different color grades? Upload both and let clients compare them side by side. They pick their preferred version from a visual grid instead of trying to describe the difference in words. This works just as well for logo design feedback as it does for photo selects.

Real photography workflows

Wedding proofing. Upload 200+ edited photos from the day. Share the link with the couple. They go through approval mode together, picking their favorites for the album. Their planner can review the same link separately. Everyone’s selections are visible in one place.

Product photography. Upload shots from a product shoot for the e-commerce team. They approve hero images, flag angles that need reshooting, and pin annotations on specific areas that need retouching. Read the design feedback guide for tips on structuring this kind of review.

Portrait retouching. Share a set of retouched portraits with your client. They pin annotations directly on areas they want adjusted — “soften this shadow,” “can we smooth this more,” “this one is perfect.” Every note is visual and specific.

Editorial reviews. Magazine or brand clients browse your gallery in-browser and make selections without downloading anything. Learn more about getting client feedback efficiently on creative projects.
