How freelance designers use Reviewer to streamline client approvals and eliminate revision chaos.

Clients take weeks to respond to design emails
Share a review link instead of email attachments. Clients open it instantly and leave feedback in minutes, not days.
Shareable review linksFeedback arrives as vague one-liners
Pin annotations force clients to point at exactly what they mean. 'Make it pop' becomes 'change this heading color.'
Pin annotationsYou lose track of which version was approved
Each review session has a clear approve/reject status per asset. No more confusion about which file is final.
Approval workflowsHow it works
- 1
Export and upload your designs
Export your mockups as PNG or JPG. Upload them to Reviewer — each file up to 20MB.
- 2
Share the review link with your client
Copy the unique review URL and send it to your client. They don't need to create an account.
- 3
Client leaves pinned feedback
Your client opens the link, sees the designs, and drops comments directly on the elements they want changed.
- 4
Make revisions and re-upload
Address the feedback, upload the revised version, and share a new review link for the next round.
Why freelancers love Reviewer
As a freelance designer, your time is your product. Every hour spent chasing vague feedback or untangling email threads is an hour you’re not designing — or billing.
Reviewer eliminates the back-and-forth. You upload your work, share a link, and get structured feedback pinned to the exact pixels your client is talking about.
No more email attachment chaos
Email is where design feedback goes to die. Attachments get lost, replies split into threads, and you end up with five different versions of “final” scattered across your inbox.
With Reviewer, there’s one link per review. All feedback lives in one place. You can see every comment in context, approve or reject assets, and move to the next round.
Perfect for multi-concept presentations
Working on brand identity? Upload 3 logo directions and let your client compare them in A/B comparison mode. They pick favorites from a grid instead of writing paragraphs about what they “kind of like.”
Pairs with any design tool
Reviewer works with exported files — PNG, JPG, WebP, or GIF. Whether you design in Figma, Sketch, Photoshop, or Canva, just export and upload. The feedback tool is separate from the design tool, so there’s no plugin to install or workflow to change.
Get started
Upload your first design and share a review link with your client in under 30 seconds. It’s free — no signup required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do my clients need to install anything?
No. Clients click the review link and leave feedback in their browser. No downloads, no accounts, no app to learn.
Can I use Reviewer for logo projects?
Yes. Upload logo concepts as PNG files. Use A/B comparison mode to let clients pick their preferred direction from a side-by-side grid.
How many revision rounds should I include in my scope?
Two to three rounds is standard. Set this expectation upfront and use Reviewer's review links to keep each round organized and trackable.
