Filestage overview

What is Filestage?

Filestage is the online proofing software for brands and agencies. It replaces the chaos of email reviews with a step-by-step approval process. This makes sure all assets go through the right people while speeding up the journey from v1 to approval.

In 2025, we’re helping our users cut feedback costs and further accelerate approvals with AI. Around 50% of creative reviews involve checking assets against brand guidelines and industry regulations. So we’re training our AI assistants to handle this, making them the first line of defense in a faster and more automated approval process.

Here’s what you can expect by switching from email reviews to Filestage:

• Reduce the risk of reputational damage – Adopt a standardized process to make sure every asset goes through the necessary stakeholders before you put it in front of your customers.

• Free up your staff to focus on more impactful work – By making feedback faster, your team can swap time spent reviewing files for strategic priorities like innovation, growth, and customer satisfaction.

• Beat competitors to market when it matters most – Filestage automates communications and admin tasks. This cuts delivery times for campaigns and product launches so you can maximize their impact in the market.
