Most artists make hundreds of works over a lifetime. Almost none of it gets documented. ArtisTrust changes that in an afternoon.

Platforms fold. Hard drives fail. Links rot. But the bigger loss happens quietly: work gets made, stacked against a wall, and never recorded.
Van Gogh sold one painting in his lifetime. Vivian Maier died with 100,000 negatives in a storage unit, undiscovered and uncelebrated. The work existed. The archive didn’t. Your ArtisTrust archive will.
ArtisTrust was built for the artist who deserves an archive whether or not they ever sell a thing.
Four things no other catalog tool offers, built into every upload from day one.
Drop a painting or photograph. Within seconds the AI identifies style, medium, subject, and color palette and writes a curator-quality description. No tagging. No typing. The catalog fills itself while you get on with the work.
Tap record. Speak freely. Why did you make it? What was happening? That voice memo lives with the work permanently. It is the layer of meaning no image can hold. No other catalog tool has this.
Because ArtisTrust already holds your images, titles, dates, and medium, we generate a submission-ready package for every work in your archive. Download it, go to copyright.gov, submit.
Your website shows the work you want the world to see. ArtisTrust holds everything you have ever made. A portfolio is curated. An archive is complete. They are not the same thing.
A process designed for the long arc of a creative life.
Point to a folder on your computer or cloud storage with as many files as you want. JPG, PNG, and RAW supported.
Drop your works into ArtisTrust at once. Everything processes in parallel. No waiting between files.
While you step away, AI analyzes every image for style, medium, color palette, and suggests a title. You return to a documented foundation, ready for your story.
Tap record and speak. Where were you? What were you trying to solve? That voice memo lives alongside the work permanently, transforming a catalog entry into a piece of living history.
The US Copyright Office process for visual art is simpler than most artists realize. The problem is it’s tedious, so most never start. ArtisTrust removes every barrier.
Because ArtisTrust already holds your images, titles, dates, and medium, we generate a complete submission-ready package, formatted precisely to Copyright Office specifications. Just copy and paste where we tell you.
ArtisTrust provides documentation tools to assist with copyright registration. This is not legal advice. For complex situations we recommend consulting a qualified IP attorney.
A pre-calculated comma-separated list of codes sized precisely to the 1,995 character limit. Paste it directly into the Copyright Office form. No typing.
All images renamed to match your submission codes exactly. One file, one upload. The Copyright Office gets everything it needs.
A permanent record of every work submitted including original titles, codes, file names, year, and medium. Exactly what you need if you ever need to trace a registration back to a specific work.
We don’t plan to. But we think you should ask.
Every archive is fully exportable at any time. One click downloads your images, metadata, and voice memos as a single package to your own hard drive. Plain formats, no lock-in.

Your archive exists independently of us. If we ever close, you lose nothing.
Everything on your hard drives and camera rolls: drag, drop, done. Your negative archive can follow whenever you are ready.
Negative and slide digitization requires scanning equipment or a local lab. ArtisTrust receives your files the moment they exist digitally, however you get there.
No gallery pricing. No inventory software. Built for artists who make work, not just sell it.
Additional uploads $0.05 each · Annual plans include a 20% discount
Not just the pieces on your website. Every painting, every photograph, every study and experiment: cataloged, searchable, and accompanied by your own voice telling its story.
