Client Proofing Studio · Est. 2026
A calm, elegant home for client approval. Share galleries, collect favorites and comments, and close each project with a timestamped sign-off — without the clutter of generic tools.
Free while in beta · Invite-only for early studios
How it works
Drag in a folder of proofs. We render crisp thumbnails and a distraction-free full-size view — watermark-optional, with a passcode if you want one.
Your client sees a branded, password-protected gallery with your masthead — not ours. No accounts. No app downloads.
Clients favorite, comment, and submit their picks. You get a single clean list — plus a timestamped contact-sheet PDF and a ZIP of the approved frames.
Features
Your logo and accent color on every gallery. Clients feel your studio, not our software.
Clients mark keepers with a tap and leave notes on individual frames — nothing gets lost in email.
Every submission generates a timestamped PDF of the client's picks and comments for your records.
Each gallery gets a private URL, with an optional passcode and expiry date — no client accounts required.
Once selections are in, download a single ZIP of just the approved frames and get to work.
Turn on a text watermark per project to deter screenshots before the client has committed.
A client proofing studio should feel like the rest of your studio — quiet, refined, considered.
Pricing
ProofingDesk is invite-only for a small group of early studios. We'll announce pricing before anything changes — and early members will get looked after.

FAQ
No. Clients open a private link, optionally with a passcode. No app, no signup — just a clean gallery.
JPEG and PNG images, plus GIF, WebP, and SVG. Video proofs in MP4, MOV, WebM, M4V, and Ogg.
You can also upload straight from your card in RAW — Canon (CR2, CR3), Nikon (NEF, NRW), Sony (ARW, SR2), Adobe (DNG), Fujifilm (RAF), Olympus (ORF), Panasonic (RW2), Pentax (PEF), and Samsung (SRW). On arrival we extract the camera's embedded full-size JPEG preview and store only that — your RAW never touches our disk. In practice a 40 MB CR2 becomes a ≈500 KB JPEG that's still plenty sharp for client review, so a full wedding card dump fits comfortably inside your quota. Each uploaded photo shows a small RAW badge in your dashboard; hover it to see the original RAW size next to the stored JPEG size.
Every upload — RAW or JPEG — gets a fast thumbnail and a 1600 px web preview generated automatically.
Every free account includes 2 GB of storage for your original photos and videos — plenty for dozens of client galleries. Individual files cap at 50 MB, and each upload batch at 500 MB. If you're approaching the limit, archive finished projects or reach out and we'll raise it.
Clients favorite the frames they want, leave comments if they like, and press Submit. You get an email notification, a contact-sheet PDF of their picks and notes, and a ZIP of the approved images — all with a timestamp on record.
Yes. Set your logo and accent color in the dashboard and every client gallery picks them up automatically. Each project can also carry its own passcode, watermark, and expiry date.
