Recto is a document studio for creative teams. Pick a template and your brand is already in it. Design on real pages, paste from Illustrator, and let comments land right on the design. Then send one link instead of attachments. Everything is end-to-end encrypted, so your files, links and comments are never readable by us.

(07) questions

asked often.

What is Recto?

Recto is an online document studio for creative teams. Design agencies, studios and freelancers use it to make proposals, pitch decks, case studies, rate cards and contracts that look designed, then send them to clients as a link or a PDF.

What is the best proposal software for a design agency?

Look for three things: layouts that match a studio's standard of design, your own brand applied automatically, and a way to see how the client reads it. Recto was built for exactly that — studio-grade templates and blocks, a one-click brand kit, and share links that show time spent on every page.

Can I see if a client opened my proposal?

Yes. Every Recto share link records views, time spent on each page and how far the client read. Clients can also pin comments to a page, and everyone viewing the link sees new comments live.

Can I password-protect or expire a shared document?

Yes. A Recto link can have a password and an expiry date, and you can unpublish it at any time. Password-protected documents are checked on the server, so the content isn't sent until the password is right.

Does Recto export PDF?

Yes. Any document exports as a print-ready PDF at its exact page size, with text kept as real text, or as high-resolution PNG images of each page.

Does Recto support Arabic and Kurdish?

Yes. Recto includes Arabic-script fonts checked letter by letter for Kurdish (Sorani), right-to-left text, and a warning when a chosen font can't show a Kurdish letter.

Does Recto make invoices?

Yes. Recto includes branded invoices with tax, discounts, free lines, partial payments, a signature or stamp, and a share link that shows when the client viewed it. Invoices also export as PDF.

Is Just Recto the same as Recto?

Yes. Just Recto (justrecto.com) is the full name of Recto, the document studio for creative teams.

How much does Recto cost?

Recto starts with a free 7-day trial. Studio costs $15 for 1 month, $39 for 3 months or $135 for 12 months — pay with FIB, SuperQi, FastPay or crypto · card payments coming soon. Enterprise is priced by agreement.

Is Recto a Canva, Pitch or DocSend alternative?

Recto sits between them: a page-based design editor like Canva, made for client documents like proposals and decks, with DocSend-style tracked links and comments built in — focused on creative studios rather than general users.
