from form-create to live-link — pipeline up in your first session
Your toolchain, natively
Your file types, inline.
No downloads, no conversion. Open it, look at it, decide.
Your art director shouldn't need Photoshop, Blender, or Blockbench installed to approve a file. Reviewers open the link — the model spins, the PSD flattens, the audio plays — right in the browser. No installs, no waiting on a 2 GB download to land before someone can say yes.

Your contributor pipeline is held together with duct tape.
Most studios manage artists across four or five tools — none of them designed for the job. Here's the contrast.
Before Staxio
💬
Scattered DMs
You ask where the work is. “Almost done.” Days later it lands in a chat thread — wrong version, and the notes you gave are buried three conversations back.
📂
Shared Folder Chaos
final_v3_FINAL.zip, final_v3_FINAL_actual.zip. Nobody’s certain which file is current, who signed off, or what changed since last week.
👁
No Visibility
“Is that one approved yet?” — and you genuinely don’t know. You’re rebuilding the status of every project from memory and scrollback.
With Staxio
✓
Every comment lives with the file
Feedback ties to the exact submission and version — searchable, attributed, and never buried in a channel scroll.
✓
Versioned + side-by-side compare
v1, v2, v3 with snapshotted feedback. Open any two versions side by side — swipe-divider on images, real line-diffs on text + JSON, description changes called out automatically.
✓
Real-time pipeline view
Dashboard shows what's pending, in review, and approved — with who did what and when. Approval trail you can audit.
From upload to library in 4 steps.
From contributor onboarded to asset approved — the whole pipeline, end to end.
1
Set Up Your Pipeline

20+ formats, zero downloads
Spin 3D models (glTF, OBJ, FBX, STL, PLY, Collada, USDZ, 3MF, Rhino 3DM, Blockbench + more), peek inside ZIPs, diff code and JSON, preview PSDs, scrub audio with waveforms — all inline. Your team stops context-switching to Discord to look at a file.

Custom Submission Forms
Drag-and-drop form builder with text, dropdown, URL, and checkbox fields. Set file type and size rules per form.
Review Workflow
Approve, reject, or request revisions with one click. Internal notes stay private; feedback reaches artists.
Pin-point Comments
Anchor feedback to the exact spot
Click an image, drag a region on a PDF, tap a moment in a clip, or click a mesh in 3D — every comment carries its anchor. Replies thread under the root, resolve to close the chain, and click any comment to jump back to the exact view it was made on.
Form Invitations
Invite specific artists to submit directly from a form. Track who was invited, who has submitted, and send branded invitation emails in one click.
Iterate & Approve
Sign-off chains, version history, no lost feedback.
Versioning + Side-by-side compare
Compare any two versions side by side — drag a swipe divider over images, see real line-diffs on text + JSON, watch how the description evolved across revisions. Every resubmit becomes a new version (v1, v2, v3) with files, description, and the feedback all snapshot. Old files never disappear. Pro+ unlocks compare across 3+ versions and exporting the report as a PDF.

Multi-step Approval Workflows
For studios where one reviewer isn’t enough. Configure chains like Art Director → Creative Director → Producer per form. Assign by role or by named people, with optional N-of-M thresholds. Direct approval is blocked until every step signs off. Pro+.
Form Templates
Save your own — approval chains and all
Skip the blank-page problem. Pick from a curated catalog (Character Brief, Prop Sheet, SFX, Animation Cycle, VO, UI…) — or save any form your studio builds as a reusable template. Saved templates carry over fields, file rules, branding, even the multi-step approval chain. Cloning is one click.
Revision Loop with Context
Request a revision and the artist sees your feedback inline with their resubmit form. Each new version remembers exactly which feedback it was responding to — so reviewing v3 isn’t guesswork.
Activity Timeline
Every status change, every comment, every @mention, every approval step — in one chronological feed. With per-org retention controls and a dedicated Audit Log for admin actions.
Organize & Scale
Where the work lives once it’s in.
Asset Library
Approved submissions auto-populate a searchable, tagged library with version tracking and download history. Filter by project, tag, format, or artist — and export anything.
Contributor Portal
Contributors get their own portal to track submissions, view feedback, and resubmit files. One login works across every studio they contribute to — no account sprawl.
Projects
Group forms, submissions, and assets by campaign, client, or game. Filter your entire workspace to a project in one click. Completely optional.
Contributor Roster
Build a durable list of regular contributors. Forms you assign to roster contributors show up in their dashboard automatically — no shared links, no re-explaining the workflow. Public link still works for one-off submissions.
Team Roles & Permissions
Granular permissions across 7 categories — forms, submissions, library, team, contributors, settings, and reports. Custom roles fully supported.
Automate & Stay on Track
Fewer clicks, fewer dropped balls.
Webhooks & Integrations
Native Discord and Slack integrations send rich notifications to your channels the moment a submission is received or reviewed. Or push HMAC-signed webhook events to any HTTP endpoint for custom automation.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Analytics & Reports
Dashboard stats, submission trends, form performance, and CSV export. Know your approval rate at a glance.
Deadlines & Reminders
Set deadlines on forms and individual revision requests. Overdue states surface on your dashboard and queue, with optional auto-close when a deadline lapses.
Daily Digest
One 8 AM summary of overdue items, upcoming deadlines, pending reviews, and fresh comments — for studio and artist alike. Empty days are skipped so it never feels like noise.
For contributors, too
Your creators get a portal they’ll actually use.
The fastest way to lose a good artist is to make them suffer through bad tools. Staxio gives the people submitting work a real workspace — one login across every studio they work with, feedback delivered in context, deadlines they can see, and a portfolio that builds itself.
Sign inOne login, every studio
Artists sign in once and see every studio they work with in one place — no account sprawl, no juggling passwords.
Feedback that loops back
Two-way comments, revision requests, and approvals arrive in their portal — not buried in a Discord channel.
Deadlines they can see
Due dates, revision windows, and automated reminders keep artists ahead — without anyone having to chase.
The current stack
You're already paying for this — in time.
Most studios cobble together five tools to do what Staxio does in one. Here's what that actually looks like.

Getting started
No. Staxio sits alongside your project tools, not in place of them. Your PM tool runs your internal team — the people inside your studio with accounts, channels, and roadmaps. Staxio runs your relationship with the contributors producing work for you: the public submission link, the roster of recurring contributors, the file review, the approval chain that includes people outside your workspace. Different audience, different category — they don't collide.
Yes. One-click Google sign-in works for everyone — studio teams and contributors share the same login. If you already have a Staxio account with the same email, we'll link your Google login to it automatically — no duplicate accounts.
Every plan includes a 14-day free trial. No credit card required. At the end of the trial, add a payment method to keep your workspace active.
No. Contributors can submit via a public link without creating an account. They can optionally sign up to track their submissions and receive feedback notifications.
Contributors sign in at the same login as your team and land on a personal hub that lists every studio they work with, the forms assigned to them, and everything they have submitted. From there they can track submission statuses, view reviewer feedback, and resubmit revised files when revisions are requested. They also receive email notifications when their submission is approved, rejected, or needs changes. If a contributor works with multiple studios, all their submissions and studios are visible in one place — no separate accounts needed.
