How to Bulk Upload Artwork Manually

Save hours with powerful Bulk Uploads — manually add up to 20 Pieces at a time

Updated over 2 weeks ago

You can upload artwork one at a time or use our Bulk Upload feature and add up to 20 Pieces at a time.

Why Use Bulk Upload?

The Bulk Upload tool revolutionizes how you manage your art inventory:

  • Save precious studio time — add multiple pieces at once

  • Maintain momentum when documenting your work

  • Standardize information across similar series or collections

  • Quickly build your professional inventory after exhibitions or creative periods


Quick Bulk Upload Guide

  1. Navigate to Artwork > Pieces on your left-side menu

  2. Select Bulk Actions > Bulk Upload in the top menu on the Pieces page

  3. Choose where you would like to upload your images from (e.g. your computer, cloud storage, mobile device, etc.)

  4. Select up to 20 images for upload

    • Note: each of these images will be uploaded as individual Piece records. You can upload additional images for each Piece record by editing the Piece records after Piece record creation.

  5. Once you’ve uploaded your images, select the blue Next: Enter Piece Details button at the bottom of the page

  6. You’re able to add basic information to each individual Piece record. Click "Additional Fields" to add even more information.

  7. Click the blue Save all ‘#’ Pieces button and you will have created multiple Piece records!

Note:

You will not be able to add additional image files to each piece record while you’re in the bulk-uploading tool. Once you’ve created the Piece records, you will be able to go back to the specific Piece records and add your additional images.
