How it sells itself

Bad uploads cost print stores reprints, refunds and support emails. Filecheck replaces your upload form with one that checks every file on the spot: it validates PDFs, images and documents in seconds, auto-fixes common problems like missing bleed, low resolution and RGB color instead of rejecting the shopper, and shows a visual proof for color and crop sign-off.

UploadFlow AI lets shoppers attach artwork, documents, and print files on your product or cart page—then you review everything in Shopify admin. Enable uploads per product, set file rules (types, size, required), and approve, reject, or request changes. Send an Ask-for-file link when a customer needs to replace a file.

Key points
  • Preflight and ISO Validate PDFs, images, and documents in seconds
  • Auto-fix common file errors like Bleed, DPI, etc. instead of rejecting customers
  • Visual soft-proofing for Colors (CMYK, RGB, Lab), Bleed and Crop sign-off
  • Collect customer files on product and cart pages with theme blocks
  • Review uploads in admin—approve, reject, or request changes
  • Ask-for-file links when a customer needs to replace a file
  • Per-product upload fields with type, size, and required rules

How Shoplist compares apps

Store counts come from Shoplist’s crawl of Shopify storefronts, which detects the apps each store runs; they are as of Oct 13, 2026. Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
