About Filestage

Content Review Without the Email Chaos

Filestage is a German content review and approval platform that replaces scattered email feedback with structured approval workflows. Founded in 2015 in Stuttgart, it helps marketing teams, agencies, and creative departments streamline how they review and approve videos, designs, documents, and live websites.

Structured Approval Workflows

Filestage organizes the review process from first draft to final approval:

  • Visual annotations: Reviewers mark up videos, images, PDFs, and documents with contextual comments pinned to specific frames, areas, or text
  • Live website review: Annotate directly on live web pages, capturing screenshots with feedback
  • Version comparison: Side-by-side version comparison to see what changed between revisions
  • Approval workflows: Define review steps with sequential or parallel approvals, due dates, and automatic reminders
  • Automated checklists: Ensure every stakeholder signs off before content goes live
  • Integrations: Connect with project management tools, cloud storage, and creative software

For Teams That Ship Content Regularly

Filestage is particularly relevant for marketing teams and agencies that produce high volumes of content (campaigns, social posts, videos, print materials) and need to collect feedback from multiple stakeholders without drowning in email threads. All data is hosted in Germany.
