"Chasing payment after final project presentation leaves you vulnerable to client screenshots and piracy."
Clients often use screenshots or screen recordings to bypass invoices during final reviews. Secure previews block all bypasses.
Trusted Infrastructure
Review Leakage:
Clients screen-grabbing drafts and final renders without paying
Clients often use screenshots or screen recordings to bypass invoices during final reviews. Secure previews block all bypasses.
Sneaky Screenshot Theft
Clients can easily capture drafts, crop out watermarks, or record mockups during preview sessions and skip the final payment.
Uncontrolled Internal Sharing
Once a draft PDF or file leaves your email, it gets forwarded internally without authorization, ruining project leverage.
Create Your First Protected Link
Upload your deliverable, set a price, and share a secure link with your client. They preview the work, pay via Stripe, and unlock the final file — all in under 2 minutes.
- Free to start, no credit card required
- Passwords, expirations and watermarks included
- Built for freelancers, agencies and consultants
Bulletproof Previews Clients Can't Grab
Let clients review full-resolution drafts safely. Prevent theft, screenshots, and unauthorized copies in every review session.
Secure In-Browser Previews
PDFs, video drafts, audio, and graphics are rendered in a protected web player. Original files are never loaded until paid.
Anti-Screenshot Watermarks
Dynamic watermarks overlay client email, viewer IP, and date/time across all previews, deterring screengrabs.
DOM Tamper Prevention
Advanced browser security blocks DevTools inspection, disables DOM element copies, and disables browser print shortcuts.
Time-Limited Reviews
Set links to automatically expire after a set time or a specific number of views to limit file exposure.
Instant Access Control
Revoke link access instantly, change passwords, or require email OTP authentication in real time from your dashboard.
Stripe Pay-to-Unlock
Integrate checkout directly into the viewer page. The moment the client pays, they download the raw final assets.
Secure delivery in 3 steps
Upload your work, share a protected preview, and get paid before the final download is unlocked.
1. Upload your final file
Add the file you do not want to release before payment. Set your price and LinkVault secures it instantly.
2. Share a protected preview
Your client can review the work in a secure browser viewer without accessing the final download.
3. Get paid & Unlock
The client pays securely through Stripe. Once payment is confirmed, LinkVault automatically releases the final file.
Trusted by creators globally
"I recovered $400 from an unresponsive client thanks to LinkVault. When he saw he couldn't download the 3D model without paying, the invoice was settled in 5 minutes."
I use LinkVault in my work as a video creator, and it has solved a very common problem for me: sending previews to clients without risking them using the material before final payment. The platform allows sharing videos with a watermark for review, in a professional and secure way, which gives great peace of mind when working with creative content....
"Delivering source code was always a risk. Now I package everything in a ZIP, protect it with LinkVault, and the client pays to unlock it. Works perfectly."
"I was tired of delivering work and then begging to get paid."
As a freelancer, the scariest moment was always hitting 'send' on the final deliverables. The second that file leaves your inbox, you have zero leverage.
Clients download the work and go quiet. You're left chasing invoices for weeks, sometimes months. The power dynamic is broken.
I built LinkVault to fix this. Now your client gets a beautiful protected preview — but the original file stays locked until they pay via Stripe. No more ghosting. No more unpaid work.
Your client previews, pays, and unlocks — automatically
Upload your file, set a price, and share a protected link. Your client sees the work in a secure viewer and pays via Stripe to download the original.
