ARTDEX is a free and easy-to-use online cataloguing tool for artwork and documents pertaining to one’s collection. Therefore, it mitigates the headache and cost of using a traditional “software-based” inventory system and allows for the easy organization of one’s collections of any size. Simultaneously, ARTDEX enables one to share his/her collections worldwide and is a social networking platform aimed at connecting art enthusiasts and creators on a local and global scale.

No, ARTDEX is completely free.

On the top navigation bar, click the icon of a person with a “+” sign next to it – from there, you can send an invitation via email.

ARTDEX does not currently offer a sell/buy feature but we will have one in the near future. If you are interested in buying or selling art, however, you can message the artist, or collector directly in a private message or comment on the artwork with your request. There is no fee associated with this feature of direct communication between you and the other members.

You can make changes to your profile on the My Profile and Settings pages, accessible via the drop-down menu on the top-right of the navigation bar. If you wish to delete your profile permanently, please send an email request to staff@www.artdex.com./span>

Yes you can. You can set your custom profile URL in the Settings menu in the same top right-hand drop-down on the navigation bar. You can share all of your collections with other member users by sending them your unique URL.

Yes, you can keep your account private by changing your privacy setting in the Settings menu in the top right-hand drop-down on the navigation bar so that  all of your collections are for strictly personal viewing only.

With ARTDEX you do not need to have an actual art collection. If you do have a collection, you can upload, catalogue and share it with the art world online. If not, you can create a virtual collection of your favorite pieces by following artworks that are already on our site, or uploading images of your favorite artworks. To make the process easier, we also have a ‘Suggested’ feature on the MY FEED page, where you may find artists, artworks, collections and people so that you can start to follow and create your virtual collection from day one!

You can add artwork in the ORGANIZE page. The “Upload Artwork” button on the left hand bar will allow you to add artwork. Note that simply uploading artwork will not allow others to view them – you will need to organise them into collections.

On the ORGANIZE page, click the button to “CREATE COLLECTION”. Then, simply drag-and-drop artwork that you have uploaded or followed, and voilà! There is also the option to create a new collection while uploading artwork through the “UPLOAD ARTWORK” button, also accessible from the ORGANIZE page. For a more visual guide, check out our informational blog post here.

In order to make your collection private, go to the top right-hand side drop-down menu on the navigation bar. Then go to Settings and change the relevant Privacy Settings.

For as long as you choose to maintain it. You can discontinue your collection at any time by sending us an email to delete your account.

Unfortunately, at this moment, we do not have this feature.

ARTDEX allows you to manage both your physical art collections and virtual art image archives. My Collections is for art images you upload directly: e.g. physical art pieces you own as an artist or collector, photographs you take of artwork, or simply images you have on your computer. Under My Followed Art, on the other hand, you will find the art images you have chosen to “Follow” on ARTDEX, thereby collecting them virtually and archiving them in your account.

You can check out the collections owned by people who follow you and whom you follow. However, you can most effectively use the suggested collections on the left bar to search through different collections to find ones similar to your own.

The suggested bar on the left rail is based on the quiz you partake in upon registering for ARTDEX. It is also based on the data collected from the content you upload, follow, like and share.

You can take a photograph of the artwork and upload it using the ADD ART feature. Our mobile app even allows you to upload it directly from your phone!

Creating an account is simple. Click on the “Sign Up” button at the top of the homepage, and fill out the required fields. You can also sign up using your social media accounts. Once your account is created, you can start archiving, browsing, purchasing, or selling art.

Sellers on our platform offer global shipping through our trusted network of couriers. Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on the size, weight, and destination of the artwork. Each piece is carefully packaged by the seller to ensure it arrives safely. You will receive a tracking number once your order has shipped.

Some purchases may be subject to additional fees such as customs duties or taxes, depending on your location. These fees are not included in the purchase price and are the responsibility of the buyer.

Once your order has shipped, you will receive an email with a tracking number. You can use this number to track your package on the courier’s website. Additionally, you can log in to your account and view the status of your order in the “My Orders” section.

If your artwork arrives damaged, please contact the seller immediately with photos of the damage and the packaging. We will work with you and the seller to resolve the issue, which may include offering a replacement, repair, or refund.

Members of our platform are eligible to become sellers. Once your artwork has been uploaded to your account and published in the ‘public’ DISCOVER mode, it will automatically be reviewed by our admin for community guidelines. Once approved, you can list your artwork ‘for sale’ by uploading high-quality images, providing descriptions, and setting your prices. You’ll have access to tools that help you manage your listings, communicate with buyers, and track sales.

We charge a commission on each sale, which is deducted from the selling price. The commission rate is 15% across all types of artwork and its price range — one of the lowest rates in the art industry. Detailed information about our commission rates can be found in the [seller’s agreement link].

Payments to sellers are processed securely through Stripe or PayPal, our platform’s payout partners. After a sale is completed and the return period has passed, funds will be transferred to your designated account. You can choose to be paid via bank transfer through Stripe or PayPal.

If your artwork doesn’t sell, you have the option to adjust the price, update the listing, or remove it from the marketplace while safely remaining in your archive at ARTDEX account. There are no penalties for unsold items, and you can relist your artwork at any time.

As a seller, you are responsible for packaging and shipping the artwork once it is sold. We provide guidelines to help you package your artwork securely. Shipping costs can either be included in the price of the artwork or added at checkout, depending on your preference.

Unfortunately, at this moment, we do not have this feature.
