How to Upload Artwork

Step-by-step guide for uploading artwork individually, in bulk, or via import on Artwork Archive.

Updated over 7 months ago

There are three ways to get artwork into your account:

  1. Upload new pieces one at a time

  2. Add up to 20 pieces at a time with Bulk Upload

  3. Import via spreadsheet using our Import Service

We recommend uploading high-resolution images for your pieces:

  • We accept most image types up to 30 MB each and you can upload up to 30 images per piece record.

  • If you choose to have a Public Profile, the images will automatically be downsized for web-viewing.

  • Your original high-resolution images will be stored on the Piece Record as "Original Image Files" at the bottom left.

Uploading Artwork One at a Time

  1. Navigate to Artwork in the left-hand menu on your main dashboard

  2. Click the gray +New Piece button from the top menu

    1. You will find all of the various possible fields here. The only required field is the title. Have questions? Check out our Guide to Filling Out a Piece Record

  3. To add images to a Piece Record, click Add images


Bulk Uploading 20 Artworks at a Time

  1. Navigate to Artwork in the left-hand menu on your main dashboard

  2. Click the gray Bulk Actions button from the top menu

  3. Select Bulk Upload

  4. You can upload up to 20 images to create 20 individual Piece Records at time

    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.
