Never again feel guilty about throwing away artwork your kids bring home. Get rid of the clutter and start to enjoy your child's work. Turn your Artkive into a high quality, hard cover book or other great products with little more than the touch of a button!

Your kids will love flipping through their Artkive books to see their creations, and they make great gifts for grandparents and other loved ones.

Publishing my kids’ artwork

I’m a busy working mom so when I heard about Artkive from a friend, I was psyched. I sent in artwork for both of my kids in one box and they professionally photographed all of it and tagged by kid and age. I had hoped to do this at home but I just could never make time and honestly the photos would not have turned out even half as good. I got one keepsake book for each kid, and my kids love looking at their books and showing it to their friends. I chose to have Artkive send the art back, but I honestly don’t even need the originals anymore. My kids and I are enthralled with the books. The service is expensive, but they do everything for you and it’s worth it. Highly recommend!

Disingenuously fronts as a free app, but it works

Like many others, I find the bait and switch business model to be unacceptable, and I am discontinuing use of the app. When I downloaded the app, there was no mention of it only being free up until you add 40 images, after which point you must pay in 30 days or loose your photos. Who would use the app that wouldn’t eventually reach the 40 photo limit?
IF you are willing to pay for the service they provide, I can share that the app works just fine. It’s a relatively easy interface and allows you to track art by child and age. So if you’re looking for this then it will probably work fine for you.
I, however, will be moving my photos to another photo app for free (truly free, forever free). It’s a hassle that I’d rather not have to go through, but it’s worth it to avoid being “trapped” into a membership.
I strongly suggest that the company make it clear up front that this is a “free limited trial,” and even make people agree to understanding that they will eventually have to pay. Had I seen this notice I would not have started using the app (which is the point of their tactics).

Dishonest/ Scammers/ Bait and Switch

Pick any of the above description!
Stay far away from this company. They are trying to make things appear so easy and noncommittal to get you to send in your kids art work. They present it as being all about cherishing your kids memories but in reality they are baiting and switching you. At no point did I commit to purchase anything. I sent in the art work and wanted to then look at different options and view the pricing. Once I realized how costly it would be to order two 30 page photo books I opted not to proceed. They sent an invoice and then hired a collection company!!!! This is after they have purposefully been deceitful and misleading.
Mind you I haven’t received anything from them, no disc containing digital photographs, no return of original art work and certainly no photo books.
Not sure what they are charging me for. They say it’s for the photographer taking these images. I wouldn’t have had a problem with that but they had stated I could choose which photos to put in the book. Total lies.
Complete waste of a business model if you ask me.
