How to Upload Artwork

Get your artwork into Artwork Archive quickly, whether you're adding one piece or your entire inventory. This guide covers uploading artwork individually, in bulk, or via spreadsheet import.

Three Ways to Add Artwork to Your Account

  1. Upload new pieces one at a time

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.
