Getting your Shootbin account ready takes only a few minutes. Once you’re in, you can customize your profile, control how clients see your watermarked previews, and manage how you receive notifications about your projects.

Set your watermark text

Switch to the Studio tab and find the Watermark section. Enter the text you want overlaid on proofing previews, for example your studio name or copyright notice. Clients see this on every proofing image until you deliver the final files.
The Proofing Watermark applies only to web preview images shown during review. It does not affect original uploads. To brand selected generated files in a delivery package, create a separate Export Watermark.

Configure communication settings

Shootbin sends notifications about project reviews, deadlines, deliveries, contracts, messages, invitations, and account updates. In Profile > Communication, you can choose the supported channels for each configurable notification. New project messages, project invitations, and expiring download links can be sent by email and in-app. Project owners can also enable email and in-app notifications when an invitee accepts their project invitation. You only see settings for roles you currently hold, such as project owner or reviewer. Changes save immediately. Always-on account and security notifications do not appear as switches.

Account Seats (Agency plan)

If you’re on the Agency plan, you can create up to 5 Account Seats for internal team members. Each seat has its own email address and password and receives owner-level access to all projects in the Agency account, including projects created later.
Account Seats use the Agency account’s plan features and limits. They cannot manage subscription billing or create, update, or remove other Account Seats. Those actions remain with the Agency owner.
1

Open the Account tab

In Profile, click the Account tab. The Additional logins section, where Account Seats are managed, is visible only on Agency plans.
2

Invite a team member

Enter the email address of the person you want to add and send the invitation. They’ll receive an email to set up their login credentials.
3

Manage existing logins

You can update passwords for Account Seats or remove them at any time from the same section.
Removing an Account Seat revokes access immediately. Make sure the team member no longer needs access before deleting their login.
