Design review for agencies

Client feedback, pinned exactly where it belongs.

Upload your screens, send the client one link, and they pin comments straight onto the design. You see every open thread, every new version and every approval in one place — no more screenshots with red arrows.

Clients need no account.

The problem

Feedback scattered across e-mails, calls and chat is feedback you lose.

"The menu sits a bit high and I'm not sure about the blue button." Which button? Which version? Was it fixed? Pinfolio turns every remark into a thread attached to one point on one version of one screen.

Without Pinfolio

  • Designs exported and attached to e-mails, round after round.
  • Notes transcribed by hand from calls and chat messages.
  • Screenshots with red arrows — and guessing what they point at.
  • No clear record of what is done, what is open and what was signed off.

With Pinfolio

  • One link and one password per project — the client just opens it.
  • Comments pinned to an exact point, with an optional drawn stroke or area.
  • Open and resolved threads counted for you in the administration.
  • Approvals that carry the client's name, the time and the exact version.
How it works

From upload to sign-off in four steps.

  1. Create a project and upload screens

    One project per client engagement. Each screen — "Homepage", "Contact" — gets its first version from a PNG, JPEG or WebP image. Long pages are fine.

  2. Send the client one link

    The project has its own address and password. The client enters the password and their name — no registration, no account to create.

  3. The client pins comments and you reply

    They click a spot on the design, write a note and optionally draw on it. You get an e-mail, reply in the thread and mark it resolved when it is done.

  4. Upload a new version, get it approved

    Upload v2 and carry the open threads over. The old version stays as a read-only record. When the client is happy, they approve — with their name and the time.

Features

Everything an agency needs to run a design review — nothing it doesn't.

Pinned comments and drawings

Every thread points at an exact spot, marked with a numbered disc. Clients can add a freehand stroke or shade an area in the colour they choose.

Versions with full history

A screen is a name, a version is an image. Every round keeps its comments, so feedback never points at a picture that no longer exists.

Carry open threads over

Move unresolved comments onto the new version in one click. The copies stay linked — resolve one and it is resolved everywhere.

Approvals you can point to

The client signs off a specific version, with their name and a timestamp. A new version starts unapproved, and a withdrawn approval is e-mailed to you.

E-mail notifications

A mail for every new client comment, approval and withdrawn approval, sent to the address you choose.

Team and roles

Invite colleagues with a seven-day link. Owners manage the team, branding and domains; members work on projects and feedback.

Your brand, your address

Every agency gets its own subdomain on day one. Add your colour, logo, favicon and sender name — and on the Agency plan, your own verified domain.

Public portfolio

Each designer can publish a portfolio page with projects they pick, in their own order and under a public title — or the agency can switch portfolios off.

AI assistants, read-only

Connect an AI coding assistant over MCP. It can read the open threads and see annotated close-ups of each comment — and change nothing.

For your clients

Nothing to install, nothing to sign up for.

Your client opens a link in any browser. The review page wears your brand, not ours.

  • A password and a name — that's it.The name sticks to every comment and approval they leave in the project.
  • Any modern browser.Desktop or phone — the client just follows the link.
  • Private by default.Review pages are kept out of search engines, and one password covers only one project.
For your developers

Let the assistant read what the client asked for.

A per-agency token gives an MCP client read access to projects, screens and feedback.

Plans

Three plans. The core review flow is in every one of them.

Projects, screens, versions, pinned comments, approvals, invitations, the portfolio and the MCP token are included on Free too. The plans differ in team size, project count and branding.

Agencies are set up by the operator of the installation — there is no self-service sign-up, and a plan change is a request rather than a button. Details in Plans and limits.

Good to know

What Pinfolio deliberately does not do.

So nothing surprises you halfway through a project.

Static images only

PNG, JPEG and WebP. No live HTML prototypes, iframes or Figma links.

No client accounts

A password always covers one project; there is no client dashboard across projects.

E-mail only

Notifications go by e-mail — no Slack, webhooks or browser push.

No self sign-up

The operator creates your agency and changes its plan for you.
