Free PDF Proofing for Brochures, Decks and Print
Drop a PDF, send one review link, and get comments pinned to the exact spot on each page. Then work through them as a to-do list — tick each one off, search them, export them — and publish the corrected PDF as the next version of the same link.
A document, not a pile of attachments.
Reads like the document
One page at a time with thumbnails, arrow-key paging and the page's real size in millimetres. Search finds words in the page text as well as in the comments.
Comments on the spot
A pin, a box or an arrow on the page, a note under it, and replies in a thread. Reviewers type a name and start — no sign-up on their side.
A to-do list for you
Comments are grouped by page. Tick each one off as you fix it, or clear the lot with All done. A progress line shows what is left; export it all as CSV.
Rounds, not re-sends
Publish the corrected PDF as a new version of the same link. Reviewers compare rounds, with an overlay view that makes a moved line stand out.
Drop, share, tick off.
Drop the PDF
Open PDF Proofing and drop a PDF — or JPG, PNG and WebP proofs. Each page, up to 40 per PDF, is drawn in your browser and becomes a page of the reader.
Send one link
Create the review link and send it. Comments and approvals show on the link (PRO accounts also get an email), and every comment has its own link you can point a colleague at.
Work the list
Open the comments page by page, tick them off as you fix them, and publish the corrected PDF as the next version. Export the list as CSV if your tracker lives elsewhere.
Made for documents, not squeezed into an ad tool.
Nothing uploaded until you share
The PDF is opened and drawn in your browser. Only creating a link uploads the pages, and you can take a link down any time. PRO adds an optional passcode.
PDFs or images
A brochure as a PDF, or a flyer and a print ad as JPG, PNG or WebP — images become the pages of one document, in file-name order. Several PDFs? Each is its own document on the board.
Your name on the link
On a white-label plan review links are served from your own domain with your logo — the reviewer never sees us.

Proof, preview and deliver in one studio.
Put a campaign's ads on an Ad Preview board, mark up single creatives in Creative Review, compare retouched images with Before & After, and deliver the final files with Send Files.
Your domain on every client link.
Clients open your proofs on preview.your-agency.com — your name in the address bar, not ours. It comes with the Agency pack: your own domain with a subdomain for each client, unlimited hosted links and +50 GB storage, for $30 a month.
- Set up in minutes — you add one DNS record (a CNAME), we email you when it is live
- 10 client subdomains included, like acme.your-agency.com
- Links you have already sent keep working
