Visual Feedback & Client Review Platform

What solution do we offer?

Contextual visual feedback, instantly filed into work you can execute.

Traditional feedback is broken: client requests get lost in 10-person email chains, vague bullet points, and screenshots with messy handwriting. Commently binds feedback to the exact pixel, frame, or page—and sorts it for you the second it's submitted.

Packaging design proof with pinned commentPin #1 · Logo adjustment

01. Pin it or box it in context

Clients click any spot or drag a box across an area. No more “look at the logo on slide 3, bottom-left” guesswork. The comment stays physically anchored to the exact artwork.

Auto-Triage Classifier

02. Automatic To-Dos & Questions

Every note is machine-classified into actionable edits (To-Dos) or clarifying inquiries (Questions). Designers get a clear checklist, not an unstructured wall of opinions.

Version Control

03. Versioned rounds that carry forward

When revisions are complete, lock Round 1 with a single click. Any remaining open items automatically carry over to Round 2 so nothing falls through the cracks or gets re-debated.

The Old Chaotic Way

High Friction
  • Feedback scattered across WhatsApp, Slack, and email
  • Clients drawing red arrows in MS Paint or Apple Notes
  • Confusion over which revision round is currently active
  • Hours wasted debating whether a comment was a change or a suggestion

With Commently

Effortless
  • One shared link with pinned visual context
  • Clients comment straight from browser with no account needed
  • Clear locked rounds that prevent scope creep and revision sprawl
  • Clean checklist of to-dos and questions ready for your team

David O'ConnorCreative Director, Studio Koto

“The automatic separation into to-dos and questions is pure genius. Before, we had to spend hours on Zoom clarifying what the client actually wanted changed. Now we just work down the list and hit resolve.”

Frequently Asked Questions

A few things worth knowing before you start.

Everything you need to know about sharing boards, client access, and reviewing creative proofs.

Do my clients need an account?

Not to look. They can view the board straight away in any browser without signing up. To leave comments, they can sign in quickly or leave feedback with just their name if you enable guest mode. Anything they've typed is preserved seamlessly.

What file formats can I review?

Images (PNG, JPG, WebP), multi-page PDFs, presentation slide decks (PPTX), and video. Multi-page documents open page-by-page. For live websites, you can upload page screenshots or screen recordings to collect pixel-accurate visual feedback.

Can I control what clients and guests can do?

Yes. Every link has granular permission levels: View-only, Comment-only, or full Contributor (which allows file uploads). Links can be password-protected, set to expire, or revoked instantly. Access is verified server-side on every request.
