PMO

Lost all of my kids previous artwork because I refuse to pay for yet another stupid annual subscription. Changed formats from free platform with pay to create book to subscription only with no option to access your prior content unless you pay. Thankfully I have photos of the art on my phone. Shady. Would have been nice to be given the choice before you made this change.

Simple experience, fantastic customer service, and excellent quality

High-quality books and truly fantastic customer service made the entire experience seamless from order to delivery. They kept me up to date on the status at every stage, which I really appreciated. I also loved having the option at the end to either recycle or keep the originals.

Totally recommend it

Artkive is sooo good I can put all my drawings on it and then I can throw My drawings in the trash but then I can still look at them on Artkive

Would rate it less that one star if possible

This company has stealthily been deducting $55 a year from my bank without ever sending an email or renew notice FOR TEN YEARS. Shame on me for not noticing earlier, but come on, I haven’t received a single email or notification from them since 2015. They can certainly take your money without providing any service at all, and not even blink an eye. Ridiculous. 0/10 do not recommend.
