drafty

Your client got the PDF. You got a three-sentence email.

Drop a PDF into Drafty, share the link. Your client clicks the exact paragraph or graphic and leaves a note pinned right there — no Acrobat, no account, no downloaded file bouncing back over email.

"Can we make this section shorter?" — pinned to the exact paragraph, not buried in a reply-all.

The feedback you're getting today

Scattered across chat — every note a guess at which version, which element.

saw the landing page, looks great 🙌
can you make the logo bigger though
which one — header or footer?
this one
that's the old version 😅 are you on the link I sent, or a screenshot?
…the screenshot

Every message here is a comment that belonged on the artifact. In Drafty they tap the exact spot and the note pins there — threaded, on one link that's always the current version. No “which one,” no screenshots, no “FINAL.html.”

How it works

01

Drop the PDF, share one link

Upload the PDF to Drafty — a proposal, a brief, a presentation deck. You get a link. Send it however you like: email, iMessage, Slack. The client clicks it in their browser.

02

They click the exact spot

No Adobe account, no downloaded file, no scanned printout. The client hovers the paragraph they mean, clicks once, and types. The note pins to that exact line — not the whole page.

03

Every comment lands in one thread

All their notes appear in one place, anchored to the exact spot in the document. Reply, resolve, and push a new version on the same link when you're done.

Why people switch

The old way
  • Client emails "page 4 — the bit with the icons" and you spend ten minutes guessing
  • Client won't create an Adobe account just to leave two comments
  • Version three lives in their Downloads folder; you're on version five
With Drafty
  • Element-anchored comments on the PDFEach note pins to the exact graphic, heading, or paragraph — no guessing
  • Guest commenting on a shared linkThey annotate in one click, on any device, with no account
  • One live link, always the current docEveryone sees the same version — no re-emailing files

Who it's for

Freelance designer

Send the brand proposal as a Drafty link. The client annotates the exact page — not a scanned printout with handwriting you can't read.

Solo consultant

Share the strategy doc with the stakeholder. They leave notes on the exact section, you resolve each one and push a clean version on the same link.

Indie builder

Drop the product spec in a thread. Early readers annotate the exact requirement — no Notion account, no Google Docs login.

Questions

Can my client annotate a PDF without Adobe Acrobat?
Yes. Drafty renders the PDF in the browser — your client clicks the exact spot and leaves a note, no Acrobat, no Reader, no plugin.
Do reviewers need an account to leave comments?
No. They open the link and comment as a guest. No signup, no login. Works on any browser including mobile Safari.
How do I share a PDF for annotation without emailing the file?
Upload it to Drafty and send the link. Reviewers annotate in the browser — no file attachment, no version bouncing back over email.
Can multiple people annotate the same PDF at once?
Yes. Everyone uses the same link. Each person's comments are anchored to their exact spot, visible to every reviewer in one thread.
How do I keep all PDF comments in one place?
Because everyone annotates the same shared link (not their own downloaded copy), every note lands in one thread — anchored to the document, not scattered across email.
What kinds of documents can I share for annotation?
PDFs, primarily — proposals, briefs, presentations, contracts. Drafty also works on live websites and design files if you need feedback beyond documents.
