A lookbook that looks like you made it

Magazine-mode spreads, your logo and colours on the viewer, your domain on the URL - and a readership report that shows which pages of the portfolio did the convincing.

Magazine mode

Two-page spreads with a proper page-turn - the format lookbooks are designed in, rendered faithfully in the browser instead of flattened into a scroll.

Your name on everything

On Pro the viewer carries your logo, accent colour, and background, and the link lives on your own domain - the client experience is yours end to end, no third-party frame.

GA4 in your reporting

Connect your GA4 property and lookbook traffic lands in the analytics stack your studio already reports from - alongside the site, not in a silo.

Readership per spread

Per-page time shows which projects held attention and which got flicked past - so the next portfolio edit is driven by data, not attachment to your favourite project.

The portfolio send is a pitch - treat it like one

A portfolio or lookbook send is usually the highest-stakes PDF a studio ships: it goes to a prospective client, a buyer, a gallery, and the silence afterwards is total. Sharing it as a FileDroppr link keeps the presentation impeccable - magazine spreads, full-screen, fast on any device - and replaces the silence with a report: opened Tuesday evening, eleven minutes, the editorial project read twice, the brand-identity spread skipped.

That readership is portfolio strategy. Across ten sends you learn which projects consistently hold attention and which never get reached because they sit too deep in the book. The next edit is informed: lead with what lands, cut what gets flicked past, and keep the book short enough that the funnel says people finish it.

The workflow, feature by feature

  • Upload the book, pick magazine mode. The same PDF your printer gets. Spreads render as designed; swipe mode covers the phone case automatically.
  • Brand the viewer, claim the URL (Pro). Logo, colours, background, and a custom domain - so the link in your email signature reads portfolio.yourstudio.com, not a vendor URL.
  • Wire up GA4 (Pro). Lookbook views flow into the same GA4 property as your site, so campaign attribution and studio reporting see the whole funnel.
  • Read the report before the follow-up. Which spreads held them, whether they returned, how they arrived. The follow-up email references the project they actually lingered on.

Control, without making it precious

A lookbook wants to travel - but on your terms. Download control keeps the high-res book un-saveable when that matters; per-viewer watermarking (Pro) names every copy of an unreleased collection; and a season’s preview can self-destruct the day of the launch. The same link can also live forever: on Pro, expiry is entirely your choice.

Reader comments turn the send into a conversation - a buyer marking the pieces they want to see in the showroom, page by page. And updating the book behind the link means the URL printed on your business card is never out of date.

Portfolio & lookbook questions.

How do I share a lookbook so it keeps its layout?

Upload the print PDF to FileDroppr and choose magazine mode - spreads render as two-page pairs with a page-turn, exactly as designed. On phones the viewer adapts to swipe. Readers need no account or app.

Can the lookbook live on our own domain?

Yes - custom domains are a Pro feature. Connect your domain and share links like lookbook.yourstudio.com, with your logo, colours, and background on the viewer. The vendor disappears from the client experience.

Does FileDroppr work with Google Analytics?

On Pro you can connect your GA4 property, and lookbook views are reported into your own analytics alongside your site traffic - campaign tags and attribution included.

Can I see which projects in my portfolio get attention?

Yes - per-page readership shows time spent on every spread and the funnel shows how deep readers get. Over multiple sends this is the data for editing the book: lead with what holds attention, cut what gets skipped.

Can I protect an unreleased collection?

Yes - block downloads and printing, watermark every page per viewer (Pro), and set the preview link to self-destruct on the reveal date. Your readership record of who saw it survives.

Ship the book, keep the byline.

Upload the lookbook, put your name on the viewer and the URL, and know which spreads did the convincing.
