Beautiful work done with care

Beautiful work done with care. I was nervous about losing my older son’s art work, now 25 years old, when digital was not as common back then, so all I had was paper art that started fading. The Artkive team took care of it, and now my memories are lasting longer.

Second Book & Counting

This is my second Artkive book and I can't wait to keep ordering more as my child grows up. The pictures always come out so clear and crisp and my daughter loves flipping through her books to remember all of her past creations. If you have a creative kid, this is what you need!!

This experience has been terrible

This experience has been terrible. They have a massive lack of communication and professionalism. They lost my cards and cannot provide me with the original tracking number. It has been over 6 months and I dont know where my wedding cards are nor do I have the book I spent a ton of money on. This company is a scam !

Excellent experience!

I am so pleased with our Artkive book! I ordered one with my son’s first artworks. It took me several months from getting the box before I had everything together, but that was okay! They never rushed me, and once they received the artwork, gave me the choice of rushing it for the holidays or being okay with it arriving after. The pictures were so well done and we are thrilled with our book! Great and easy process, with lots of information all along the way. I’ll definitely do this again!

Thank you for your feedback, we’re glad to hear the process felt easy. We're sorry to hear the image quality didn’t meet your expectations. All pieces are photographed by professionals using high-resolution equipment and then edited individually for accuracy and clarity.

We love sending our kids’ artwork in at the end of the school year and having it turned into a beautiful keepsake. With three kids, the papers and projects pile up fast, and this has been the perfect solution. Instead of storing boxes of artwork we’ll rarely look through, we now have gorgeous photo books that capture every memory in one place.

The quality is amazing, the process is so easy, and the end result is something we’ll cherish for years to come. Highly recommend for any family wanting to preserve their children’s creativity without the clutter!

We just finished our third year of books.

You will not regret it!

Best thing I ever did was get these books for my kiddos, and I will be making it a yearly tradition! It's so easy. I sent both my kids artwork back in one box, they sent me proofs, books came in the mail. A lot of the artwork had lifted elements and they did an amazing job making all the pieces look nice before they professionally photographed them. The lighting is beautiful. Their customer service is also top notch. I could not be happier with this company and the amazing work they do!
