From the time I purchased the box in 2022, to when I received my book in 2026 - Artkive has been absolutely wonderful! I love their check in emails, and the fact that purchases do not expire. The whole experience was positive and now I have a beautiful keepsake with memories I never want to forget.

The scans are amazingly detailed

The scans are amazingly detailed, and something we will cherish forever. It’s reassuring to have all of our wedding cards in one central location and to be able to look back at the penmanship, congratulations, and lovely messages from our friends and family. 10/10 can’t recommend more.

Thank you so much for the 10/10! Just a small fun fact: we actually use professional photographers rather than scanning, which is what gives you that stunning detail! So glad your wedding cards are all in one beautiful place to look back on forever.

I'm obsessed!

My card and art books are very high quality, the colors are vibrant, the pages are sturdy, and the photography of my art/cards is very well done. I am so happy they recycle these things for me as I would struggle to stand over the recycle bin and dump these precious items in myself. I also love that I can add pictures into my card book of the people that send my cards, it will make for perfect historical documentation for my kids some day. Thank you, Artkive!

Best purchase ever!

I've ordered several books from Artkive to capture my children's "masterpieces" over the years. I plan to create a book a year through at least middle school as my kids all love to draw and create. It's a wonderful way to see how they change through the years while keeping my storage area clutter free!

A WIN for parents- we can finally save our children's artwork in a thoughtful, timeless, and beautiful way!

Artkive is a MUST for any parent with piles of artwork from their precious little artist. Let's face it, we probably won't pull out that artwork to look at once it's been created (or put in storage), so Artkive is the perfect way to capture these memories in such a beautiful and useful way- a gorgeous hardcover book. It's a win win- less clutter (and glitter!) and the artwork is preserved forever in a lovely format. It is worth every penny!

Perfect Option for all your kids artwork

Everything was quick and easy—from the at-home UPS pickup to the artwork photography and the final book delivered right to my doorstep. Whenever questions or issues came up, customer service was prompt, helpful, and efficient in resolving them. The art books are beautiful. I love them as the perfect keepsake to my kids artwork and my kids enjoy them just as much. Thank you!

Great quality and experience

Best of the kids’ art photo book services I’ve tried. It’s pricey, but worth it. The photos are great quality (especially of 3D projects) and the finished product is well bound and professional looking. I recommend upgrading to VIP tier for those planning to make at least one book every year—it results in a quicker turnaround and saves money in the long run.

AMAZING

This company is truly AMAZING. The customer service is truly the best. I have 8 books all in memory of my son and even though it was not all cards that I sent them they made it work. I sent in newspaper articles, and they were going to charge me a $50 which was fine. They reimbursed me after they found out the book was in memory of my son. Can't put into words how beautiful my books are and how much they mean to me. PERFECTION
