Mark the exact spot
Use pins, regions, arrows, and freehand drawing to make visual feedback precise.
Design review and annotation
Keep feedback attached to the work.
From a brand concept to a video cut, copy draft, or budget, collect precise feedback inside the task. Pin a spot, comment at a timestamp, or highlight text and cells so everyone knows what needs to change.

Online proofing, in context
Point to the exact change. Keep the whole project close.
Cinch brings visual proofing into project management, so a comment never loses the client, file, task, or deadline around it.
Highlight text and cells
Select text in DOCX or TXT files, or highlight a cell range in XLSX and CSV spreadsheets.
Comment at the right moment
Leave timestamped comments on audio and visual markups on video frames.
Review pages and slides
Keep feedback tied to the right PDF page or PowerPoint slide, with PPTX previews inside Cinch.
From proof to approval
A review flow clients can understand.
Feedback stays simple for the person giving it and useful for the person doing the revision.
Share the project
Invite a client or collaborator into the project or organization that already contains the work.
Mark the exact spot
Open the attachment and mark a spot, choose a moment, or highlight text or cells. The file determines the tools available.
Resolve the revision
Track open and resolved markups so it is clear what still needs attention before the work moves forward.
Feedback without the inbox archaeology
The proof, task, discussion, owner, and due date stay connected. Nobody has to match a screenshot in an email thread to the right version of a file.
- Visual comments live inside the task tracking the revision
- Markup counts make unfinished review work visible
- Resolved feedback stays available as project history
Built for creative handoffs
Use the same workspace to move from a first concept through client notes and production-ready work, without adding a separate proofing subscription.
- Review brand concepts, presentation slides, video cuts, and audio
- Highlight copy in documents and figures in spreadsheets
- Move directly from feedback to the next task or deadline

The rest of the project stays close.

ExploreCommon questions
A few useful details.
What can I annotate in Cinch?
Review images, multipage PDFs, PPTX slides, browser-playable video and audio, DOCX and TXT documents, and XLSX and CSV spreadsheets.
Which markup tools are available?
Images, PDFs, slides, and video support pins, regions, arrows, and freehand drawing. Video markups and audio comments attach to a timestamp. Documents and spreadsheets use text or cell highlights.
Do all uploaded formats support browser review?
Some formats need conversion: export legacy DOC, PPT, and Apple iWork files to PDF or DOCX, and binary XLS workbooks to XLSX or CSV. Audio and video playback depends on browser support; unsupported files can still be downloaded.
Can feedback be marked complete?
Yes. Markups can be resolved while remaining part of the project history.
Does review happen in a separate proofing tool?
No. Review lives in the Cinch task and project that are already tracking the work.
