It’s designed for teams who believe that great work comes from seamless cooperation, where every member—from designer to stakeholder—can contribute clearly and efficiently.

Features of Crops

Smart Asset Organization

Crops brings order to your creative library with AI-powered intelligence. Every uploaded asset is automatically tagged and categorized by our AI, understanding content, colors, and context. Assets can be placed in multiple project boards or collections without creating duplicates, making organization intuitive. With powerful visual search and filtering, finding the exact image, logo, or document takes seconds, not hours. This feature ensures your entire team has immediate, confident access to the right files, ending the productivity drain of misplaced assets and outdated versions.

Streamlined Approvals & Feedback

Centralize all feedback and approval processes directly on the assets themselves. Stakeholders and team members can leave precise, visual annotations and comments without needing to log in, using secure review links. Custom workflows let you track approval status clearly, from draft to final. This eliminates the chaos of chasing feedback across endless email threads and Slack DMs, ensuring everyone is aligned. By keeping communication contextual and centralized, teams can move projects forward faster and with complete clarity.

AI-Powered Quality Control

This proactive feature acts as an automated safety net for your creative work. Before any asset reaches a client or goes live, Crops' AI instantly scans it for a wide range of errors. It catches typos, grammar issues, leftover placeholder text (like "Lorem ipsum"), accessibility problems with text contrast and size, and other quality inconsistencies. By integrating these checks into your workflow, you can prevent embarrassing mistakes and ensure brand consistency, allowing the team to collaborate with the assurance that nothing slips through the cracks.

Secure & Simple Sharing

Share work professionally and get feedback faster without the friction of file transfers or account creation. Generate password-protected, expirable links for clients and external partners, with control over download permissions. Recipients can view, comment, and approve directly in their browser, presenting a polished, on-brand experience. This feature streamlines external collaboration, protects your intellectual property, and replaces messy email attachments with a secure, efficient, and collaborative sharing hub.

Use Cases of Crops

Marketing Campaign Launch

When launching a new campaign, marketing and creative teams manage hundreds of assets—from ad creatives and social media graphics to video clips and brand guidelines. Crops consolidates all assets in one searchable location, automates error checks on final copies, and streamlines stakeholder approval through centralized feedback. This ensures all materials are on-brand, error-free, and approved on time, enabling the entire team to launch complex campaigns smoothly and with confidence.

Creative Agency Client Projects

Agencies handling multiple clients need to maintain strict brand separation and efficient review cycles. Crops allows agencies to organize assets by client and project using smart boards. They can share secure review links with clients for clear, annotated feedback, and use AI review to guarantee deliverables are perfect before presentation. This use case reduces revision loops, improves client satisfaction, and allows creative teams to manage multiple projects synergistically without mix-ups.

Brand Governance & Consistency

For organizations with large, distributed teams, maintaining brand consistency across all touchpoints is a major challenge. Crops serves as the central, authoritative brand hub. AI auto-tagging makes approved logos, fonts, and imagery instantly findable, while AI quality control flags deviations from brand guidelines. This empowers everyone in the organization, from in-house designers to regional marketers, to collaborate using the correct, up-to-date assets, protecting brand integrity at scale.

Product Design & Development Handoff

Design teams creating UI/UX assets need to hand off finalized work to development teams accurately. Crops organizes all screen designs, icons, and specifications in one place. The streamlined feedback feature allows for precise annotation during the design phase, and once finalized, developers can access the exact "source of truth" files. This eliminates version confusion and missing assets, fostering a cooperative and efficient handoff process between creative and technical teams.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Crops' AI tagging work?

Crops uses advanced computer vision and machine learning models to analyze the visual and contextual content of your uploaded assets. It automatically identifies objects, scenes, colors, text within images, and even the mood or style. It then generates relevant searchable tags and can categorize assets into smart collections. This happens instantly upon upload, saving your team countless hours of manual organization and making your entire library powerfully searchable.

Can external clients or stakeholders comment without an account?

Absolutely. A core feature of Crops is frictionless external collaboration. You can generate a secure, shareable link for any asset or collection, which you can password-protect and set to expire. Recipients simply click the link, view the asset in their browser, and can leave pinpoint annotations and comments directly on it. They never need to create a Crops account, making the feedback process incredibly simple for clients and partners.

What kind of errors does the AI Quality Control catch?

The AI review is designed to catch a wide array of common and costly mistakes. This includes spelling and grammatical errors in text, detection of placeholder text like "lorem ipsum" or "insert here," accessibility issues such as insufficient color contrast or text size, low image resolution, and even some brand guideline inconsistencies. It acts as an automated second pair of eyes, ensuring quality before human review even begins.

How is Crops different from using Google Drive or Dropbox?

While Google Drive and Dropbox are excellent for general file storage, Crops is built specifically for the collaborative creative workflow. It adds a layer of creative intelligence with AI tagging and search, provides tools for visual feedback and approval tracking directly on assets, and includes proactive AI quality control—features generic cloud storage lacks. Crops transforms a storage repository into an active, collaborative workspace that prevents errors and speeds up production.
