Share a Color Palette with a Client
A client review link is a read-only palette page you can send instead of a screenshot of swatches. PhotoTones Pro builds that page from the extracted colors only. The original image never leaves your device.
Send colors, not a screenshot
Clients need hex codes they can copy. A share link shows every swatch with hex, RGB, and HSL, plus a PhotoTones footer if they want their own kit. The URL encodes the colors. There is no image upload and no palette database.
Share a review link
PhotoTones Pro creates a public, read-only palette page from your colors. $7/month, cancel anytime.
How the share link works
- Extract a palette from an image in your browser. Edit colors first if you need to.
- With PhotoTones Pro, click Share with client.
- PhotoTones copies a review URL that contains the colors, not the photo.
- Your client opens the page, copies hex codes, and can follow the Brand Kit CTA if they want files.
Free palette vs Pro share link
The free tool still extracts hex, RGB, and HSL with no signup. Sharing a public review link is a PhotoTones Pro handoff feature, next to the brand kit ZIP, design tokens, and Figma JSON. The image still never uploads.
If you only need codes for yourself, stay free. If you need a client to review the palette, Pro is the path.
Why agencies use a review link
- Faster approvals than emailing a JPEG of swatches.
- Copyable values so the client or developer can paste hex into a brief.
- Privacy because the photo stays local. Only the color values are in the URL.
