I placed an order today and no longer what that order. Their website says I only have 24 hours to cancel. I can see my order in my account but there is no option to cancel the order. I emailed them to cancel and I am within the 24 hours of placing my order so I am hoping they honour the time frame I requested it be cancelled. Base on the other negative reviews they take a long time to respond. I will have to dispute the charge if they do not respond.

Scanned images were on point and the final product is impressive. I hope this will last a lifetime. Thank you for offering quality work.

The ease of the process - getting the box, filling it, the imaging, the image review process (except for the default "captions on" setting being non-intuitive) was wonderful. Customer support was very responsive and acted quickly and to my satisfaction. The online tutorials were great!

Used this company for my wedding cards and couldn’t recommend them more! My book is absolutely beautiful and now I won’t have our cards in a box forever.

I LOVE the Artkive books. It solves such a difficult issue with kids' art. I use it for not just their art from the year but also some of their school work. The books provide a great way to actually look back on your child's art and school work. The process is very easy and their service is amazing. There was an issue with the art I sent in and they explained the situation to me very well. They then made fixing it very easy. We have made 5 books with them so far and we plan to do both kids through elementary school.

The process was easy and the end product was even better than expected. The only critique I have is that it would be nice to receive confirmation of receipt of the items we send in. I was stressed when I didn’t hear anything for almost 3 weeks. Otherwise great experience.

Every member of the Artkive Team has been professional, friendly and excited for the journey ahead. Everyone at Artkive appears to live the mission. Creating memories preserved in photographs instead of totes. To be pulled out when the urge arises and reminiscence through a slimline book rather than dusty clutter in the basement or attic. I have purchased 20+ books to date, capturing not only my children's art and creations throughout the years but my own. I sent trophies, medals, certificates and much more, the sky is the limit with your Artkive Book, that to which I can attest. Thank you Artkive for assisting me in my path toward minimal'ish'! The books are not cheap; however, neither is the real estate you give that clutter in your home! The cost is worth it to me, and I budget this into my long-term plans. Artkive for life! Thank you Artkive Team!

The special request I made to include the year for each set of cards was fulfilled.
The book’s construction was exceptional.
Their website made every step of the process so easy to follow. I appreciated the ongoing communication regarding the book's development process.

The team is extremely communicative about every step in the process. The quality is top-notch, and we love receiving the final versions of our books! It allows us to save our memories for years to come. And the kids love looking back at the art that they created! It helps bring together their growth and reminders of creative moments.

BEST WAY to enjoy saved memorabilia that has been sitting in a box! The books are quality and i have been enjoying 30-20 year old cards and Old Family photos. THANK YOU ARTKIVE!

I used Artkive for my daughter’s preschool art work. I love the concept of a display book instead of keeping a pile of things in a box. The book is great quality, and something my daughter will cherish for years to come, without all the clutter! Thanks, Artkive!!

This is an adorable way to cherish your child’s artwork and they love seeing their work in published form. My child loves the idea that his hard work isn’t being discarded and that he gets to share these with his friends and family in a compact way.

This was one of the most frustrating scams I experienced last year. Their ads pitched a "just $35 for the box" deal. The instructions and add encouraged, "just fill the whole thing up and send it!" Little did I know, as a busy mom (the whole reason I tried Artkive... I have no time), that the small print details that you'll be charged an additional price for every single item in there. I just grabbed the whole stack of art off the table without curation, put it in the box and shipped. Nobody reached out or contacted me until I got hit with an over $2,000 bill! Yep, $2K and they went ahead and photographed the receipts and teacher notes that were in the mix of art. Never thinking to double check before photographing everything? Then I spent an incredibly frustrating hour on the phone with a super condescending customer service rep who shamed me for being so stupid as to not read the fine print. She quickly offered to lower the price to $500 though? Absolute scam and clearly designed to grab busy parents' money. When I finally got the artwork folder, they were all poorly shot and edited too. I don't blame the poor editors and photographers, considering how many images they had to go through, but I still would never have paid $2K, $500, or probably even $200 for such mediocre pics. I could have easily just snapped those on my iPhone which is definitely what I'll do forever going forward. Don't waste your time and money, folks!
