Upload the brochure spread, the packaging flat or the logo board. Your client pins the bleed, the barcode, the Pantone reference, the kerning, straight on the artwork. Rounds, a locked record and a sign-off with a name and a time, before anything goes to press.
A marked-up PDF from Acrobat, if you are lucky. More often a phone photo of a printout with pen on it, or an email that says "the blue bit on the second page". Then a call to find the blue bit, and a print run that waits on the answer.
Print has always had a proofing discipline. The tools just never caught up with it online without an enterprise price tag.
Multi-page PDFs keep their page numbers. Pins land on the page and the spot.
Flats and dielines. The barcode on the seam, the panel that folds behind, the bleed that is not quite there.
The reversed mark, the app icon, the letter-spacing on the wordmark.
Anything that exports as an image or a PDF. Files up to 8 GB.
Same client folder, same pins, same sign-off.
Round 1 of 2, feedback due Thursday.
The client and the printer can both look, no accounts.
Every comment sits on the artwork with the reviewer's name. Attach a reference file to a comment if it helps, up to 25 MB.
Upload the revised artwork. Unresolved comments carry forward. Compare shows both versions side by side.
The client approves the exact file, name and time recorded, feedback locked. That is your release to print.
Both. It started with websites and reviews any image, PDF or video the same way. Studios that do print and digital keep everything for a client under one folder.
Yes. Share the review link. They can see the pins, the rounds and the approval without an account.
No. Everything happens in the browser.
Yes. Compare shows round one beside round two, on Studio and Agency.
HopBack shows the artwork as uploaded, in the browser. It is for catching content, layout and specification issues before the proof, not for color-managed soft proofing.
PNG, JPG, GIF, SVG, WebP, PDF, and MP4, MOV or WebM video, up to 8 GB per file.
