The least romantic part of being an artist.
Handled.

Nobody picks up a brush dreaming of file names. But between the last brushstroke and the sold sign, there’s a pile of work nobody warns you about. ARTVENTORY does the pile.

From finished files to finished catalogue.

It names your files. It writes your descriptions. It builds your variants and prices them. It pulls the palette straight off the canvas and fills in the SEO. Then it exports the whole thing to your store. That’s the job.

The Darkroom

  • Names your files to your system — every file, every time
  • Pairs the print file with the web file for every artwork, automatically
  • Pulls the year straight from the photo’s own metadata
  • Catches visual duplicates before they clutter your archive

Under four minutes, narrated by Drew — a folder of raw photos to five paintings live on Shopify, in real time.

A Tool for Fine Artists

It’s not a brush or paint.
But it’s the only other tool you need.

Finished isn't listed.

Here's what your painting still needs before it earns a dime — and none of it is why you became an artist.

The problems, one by one

01 / 04

A file name without a system

A web version that doesn't gut the print version. A name your future self can actually find. Metadata that matches the structure you set up years ago — whatever that was.

02 / 04

A description you hate writing

By description number sixty-seven, they all sound the same. Then come the tags, the keywords, and the alt text search engines quietly demand.

03 / 04

A price for every size, every frame, every print

One painting becomes six sizes, three frame options, and a stack of print SKUs — and every number has to stay consistent with the hundred pieces before it.

04 / 04

A folder with 257 photos of your paintings

Sound familiar? Every one of them needs everything above before it earns a dime. It's the least creative thing you'll do all week. So we built something to do it for you.

You'll never hand-write description number sixty-seven.

It writes your descriptions in bulk, in your voice, formatted identically across your whole store. Pick a writing mode and watch the same painting described six different ways.

Art Gallery Collector's Edition Casual/Approachable SEO-Focused Storyteller Minimal/Clean

AI Description Preview

Before
Oil painting, flowers, blue and yellow, 24x36 canvas
After — Art Gallery

Tuned to your voice.
Down to the single artwork.

The writing mode is just the starting point. Underneath, every description is shaped by controls you set once — and notes you pin to individual pieces.

Story, Direction & Style

Set your art movement, mood, and how much of your story flows into the writing — an influence slider controls how strongly your direction shapes each description. Set it once, and every piece sounds like you.

Sticky Notes per Artwork

Pin a custom note to any single piece — "mention this was painted on location," "the cat's name is Picasso" — and the AI works it into that artwork's description. Your inside knowledge, included automatically.

Description Templates

Build the exact listing structure you want with placeholders that fill themselves:

{title} — {size} {medium}
{ai_description}
{care_instructions} · {shipping_note}

One template, applied across your whole inventory — every listing formatted identically.

Collections & Auto-Tags

Group works into collections — by series, location, or show — and manage them as one. Tag generation learns from your existing tag vocabulary, so new pieces get tagged consistently with the 800 you've already cataloged.

AI Description Settings — direction, influence slider, must-includes, tone and structure

Every knob, one dialog

  • Tell it what to focus on — your direction, in plain words
  • An influence slider, from loose inspiration to word-for-word
  • Must-includes and never-says, saved as presets
  • Mode, tone, length, structure — preview before you spend a credit

Your art. On a wall. Automatically.

Buyers don’t picture a JPEG — they picture their wall. ARTVENTORY puts every piece on one for you, at true scale, without you mocking up a single image.

  • Photograph any wall once — studio, gallery, or living room
  • Set the scale one time; every artwork lands true to size
  • Batch your entire collection onto walls in a single run
  • Each wall shot pairs itself to the right listing on export — no manual matching, ever
Create Room Views — import a wall, set zones to scale, generate room views for the whole collection

It’ll do the parts you avoid.

Five steps. You're only needed for one.

Point it at your files, review what it built, and hit export. The naming, describing, tagging, and pricing happen in between — without you.

“Don’t take my word for it — here’s my actual store, built by the app. 800 paintings. Online. That’s the whole demo.”

Built by one artist who got tired of his own spreadsheet.

Drew Davis mixing paint on a palette in his studio
I've painted for twenty-five years, and I was never satisfied with the tools — everything still felt like more work than I wanted to do. I just wanted to spend more time painting. But I had eight hundred documented paintings I was never going to list, not with hundreds of hours. So I built the thing that listed them — all eight hundred, with over eight thousand variants of canvas sizes and prints, framed and unframed, managed from my fingertips. I'm not a company that spotted a market. I'm the first user.
