SaveITT vs Notion
Notion is for docs. SaveITT is for files.
Notion is a documentation tool. It is excellent for project notes, wikis, and lightweight asset embeds — and terrible for managing PSDs, AIs, and the file-versioning side of design work. Use both: Notion for docs, SaveITT for files.
Where SaveITT is different
- No file size limit. Notion caps free uploads at 5 MB — too small for most design source files.
- Auto-versioning by filename. Notion has no concept of file versions at all.
- Branded client share portal for file delivery. Notion shares are read-only docs, not file vaults.
- Full inline preview for design files (images, PDFs). Notion previews are basic.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a better tool than Notion for managing design files?
Notion is excellent for documentation but struggles with large design files (5 MB upload limit on free plans), has no file versioning, and has no client-facing file delivery. SaveITT handles large PSD, AI, and PDF files, auto-versions everything, and provides branded client share portals. The two tools complement each other — Notion for docs, SaveITT for files.
Can I embed SaveITT projects in Notion?
Yes. Paste a SaveITT share link into Notion and it renders as a card. Clients can click through to the SaveITT portal for full preview, annotation, and approval.
Why does Notion have a 5 MB upload limit?
Notion is designed primarily as a docs tool. Free plans cap file uploads at 5 MB; paid plans remove the per-file cap. Even on paid plans, Notion lacks versioning and approval flows that designers need.
