Loom Records It.
FileFeedback Reviews It.
Loom is an excellent screen recorder and async communication tool. But it was never designed for collecting structured creative feedback and client approvals. That's what FileFeedback is built for.
FileFeedback
Structured review and approval workflows
Pinpoint Annotations
Click exactly where on a frame or image the feedback applies. No ambiguity.
Version Tracking
Upload revised files and keep each round of feedback cleanly separated.
Formal Approvals
Track when a version was reviewed and approved — with a clear record.
All Creative Asset Types
Videos, PDFs, and images reviewed through one consistent workflow.
Loom
Screen recording and async video communication
Screen Recording First
Primarily designed for recording and sharing your screen, not reviewing client files.
No Annotation on Client Assets
You cannot annotate a client's video or PDF with precise, pinpoint feedback.
No Version Management
Not designed for comparing v1 and v2 of the same creative deliverable.
No Approval Workflow
Comments exist but there's no structured approval record for completed reviews.
The difference between recording and reviewing
Loom is a communication tool. FileFeedback is an approval tool. Both have their place — but only one is built for getting sign-off on creative work.
Precise, actionable feedback
A Loom video walkthrough is great for explaining context. But reviewers clicking on the exact frame where a title needs to move is the feedback an editor can actually use.
Clear approval records
When a client approves a video or PDF in FileFeedback, that approval is recorded. No more 'I never said that was final' conversations three weeks later.
Review what clients send back
FileFeedback lets clients annotate your actual deliverables. Loom is for you to record videos — not for clients to annotate the assets you created.
Common questions
Can I use Loom and FileFeedback together?
Absolutely. Many teams use Loom to record a walkthrough explaining a design decision, then share the actual file in FileFeedback for annotated feedback. They complement each other well.
How is FileFeedback different from just sharing a Loom link with a client?
When you share a Loom link, clients can watch it and leave text comments. With FileFeedback, clients can annotate the actual file — clicking the exact frame, the exact pixel — and you have a version-controlled record of every piece of feedback.
Does FileFeedback support video files like Loom does?
FileFeedback plays video files with timestamped, frame-accurate commenting. The key difference is that clients are annotating your deliverable, not recording a response video.
Do my clients need a Loom account to review in FileFeedback?
No — FileFeedback is a separate tool. Clients visit a review link you send, see the file, and leave comments. No Loom account, no FileFeedback account needed on their side.
