Design proofing software that gets faster every job.
The people you send proofs to come back from the last round, and the approval setup comes with them. Send the work, let the reminders run, and finish with a sign-off that has a name on it.

“What was their email again?”
yeses is design proofing software for the studio sending the same kind of work to the same people every week. Online proofing for designers usually breaks down at the second job rather than the first: most tools treat every one as if it were the first, with a blank form, a search through old email for three addresses, and an approval order somebody has to remember. The second job for a client should take less setup than the first, and the tenth should take almost none.
How it works
A proof, from a client you have worked with before.
- 01
Build the flow once per client
Who checks the work, in what order, and how long each of them gets. Saved and reused on the next job for that client.
- 02
Pick the reviewers from the last round
Everyone you have sent work to is offered back, most recent first. No searching an old thread for an address.
- 03
Send the proof
Images up to 25 MB and PDFs up to 50 MB. The client opens their own link with no account and no password to reset.
- 04
Get a decision, not a reply
Approve or request changes, recorded against the person and the version they saw. The chasing runs itself.
Features
Online proofing for graphic designers who ship every week.
The work of running a proof is mostly setup, and setup is the part that should not repeat. These are the three things yeses stops asking you for twice.
Flows
The approval order is a thing you save, not a thing you remember.
Stages, the reviewers in each one, and how long each stage has to respond. Build it once for a client and every later job for them starts from it. Editing a running review is allowed too, so adding the person everyone forgot does not mean starting the round again.
Clients
The client opens a link, not an account.
No sign-up, no password, nothing to install, and no seat consumed. They see the work at full size, pin a comment to the spot they mean, and approve or request changes. For a studio this is the difference between a client who responds and one who means to.
The record
Every round leaves something you can point at later.
Who approved, on which version, at what time. When a client says the logo was signed off two rounds ago, the answer is a record rather than a search through email. Requesting changes requires a comment, so a rejection always arrives with its reason.
Repeat work
A directory that knows who you actually ask.
Suggestions lead with whoever you sent to most recently, which is the difference between a list and something that knows you.
Everyone named as a reviewer is remembered, whether they were added when a flow was saved, dropped into a review already running, or picked up when somebody inserted a stage. All three count as having worked with that person, so the directory is not quietly missing the ones you added in a hurry.
Addresses that are not email-shaped are skipped rather than stored, because a typo is exactly the thing that should not be offered back to you next month. And a name replaces a blank one without ever overwriting a name you typed with a blank, so the label only improves.
Questions
Design proofing, answered.
Is this only for graphic designers?
No. Online proofing for creatives is the same loop whatever the discipline: a designer, an art director, or a small studio taking on brand work. What the page assumes is a pattern rather than a job title, which is the same clients coming back with the same kind of work.
Do I have to type the client's address on every job?
No. Everyone you have named as a reviewer is remembered and offered when you build the next flow, ordered by who you asked most recently rather than alphabetically. Addresses that are not email-shaped are never stored, so a typo is not offered back to you later.
Can I reuse the same approval setup on the next project?
Yes. A flow is the stages, the reviewers in each one, and how long each stage has to respond. Save it once for a client and the next job starts from it rather than from an empty form. How approval flows work.
How many jobs can I have open at the same time?
One on the free plan, five on Studio, twenty-five on Business, and blocks of five above that. Only active projects count: finalize one and the slot frees up, while the finished work stays readable forever. See the plans.
What can I send for proofing?
Images up to 25 MB and PDFs up to 50 MB. Comments pin to a point on an image, and PDF proofing works the same way page by page, so a pin carries the page it was left on and so a note about page four is not floating at the top of the file.
What happens if the client asks for changes after approving?
Send a new version. The round restarts from the first stage, because the work changed after everyone agreed. Earlier approvals stay in the timeline marked as given on a previous version rather than being deleted.
Do reviewers need a yeses account?
No. Each reviewer gets their own link and approves straight from it. No sign-up, no password. The link is what identifies them, so the decision is still recorded against a specific person. What that means for security.
How long do our review rounds actually spend waiting?
Longer than most teams guess, and the waiting is the part nobody plans for — the days between sending the work out and the last person replying. Put your own numbers in and see it per project. Try the revision cost calculator.
What does it cost?
There is a free plan, and it runs a whole review from start to finish: one project at a time, unlimited reviewers, the full decision record. Paid plans start at $63 a month billed annually, or $79 monthly, and buy volume rather than the basics. Every account opens with a 30-day trial of Business, takes no card, and never turns into a payment by itself. See the plans.
Set it up once, then stop setting it up.
Send this week's proof to the people you sent last week's to, and get a decision back with a name and a version attached.
