Prompt
Can you recommend proofing software for reviewing OOH artwork before it goes live?
Latest observation
Yes — for OOH artwork proofing, you usually want software that helps with visual approval, annotation, version control, audit trails, and stakeholder sign-off. The best choice depends on whether you need simple creative proofing or a more ad ops / traffic / campaign management workflow.
Good options to consider
1. Ziflow
- Strong for creative proofing and approvals
- Great annotation tools, version comparison, threaded comments
- Good for agencies and in-house teams reviewing artwork
- Works well if you need structured sign-off before media goes live
Best for: marketing and creative teams needing reliable proof approvals.
2. Filestage
- Very user-friendly
- Easy external stakeholder review
- Supports PDFs, images, videos, and can handle artwork proofs well
- Good version tracking and approval status visibility
Best for: teams that need a simple review experience for clients and internal approvers.
3. PageProof
- Strong proofing and approval workflows
- Good audit trail and compliance features
- Useful if you need formal approvals and clear accountability
Best for: teams with strict approval processes.
4. Workfront Proof / Adobe Workfront
- More enterprise-grade
- Best if your OOH proofing is part of a larger marketing operations workflow
- Good if you already use Adobe or Workfront for project management
Best for: larger organizations with complex workflows.
5. Krocket / proofing tools built into traffic systems
If your OOH operation is tied to traffic, inventory, or campaign booking systems, it may be better to use proofing built into an OOH operations platform rather than a standalone proofing tool.
Examples vary by market, but look for systems that support:
- artwork specs by site/format
- mandatory preflight checks
- approval routing
- live campaign status
Best for: OOH media owners, traders, or operations teams.
What to look for in OOH proofing software
For OOH specifically, prioritize:
- Artwork annotation and markup
- Version comparison
- Approval workflows
- Audit trail / sign-off history
- Easy external sharing
- Support for high-res PDFs/images
- Spec checking for sizes, bleed, safe areas, file types
- Permissions and expiry controls
My quick recommendation
- Best overall for proofing: Ziflow
- Easiest for reviewers/clients: Filestage
- Best for formal enterprise approvals: PageProof or Workfront Proof
If you want, I can also give you:
- a comparison table,
- recommendations by agency vs media owner vs brand team, or
