Find artwork already hiding in Photos

Your camera roll may already contain years of drawings and crafts. ArtYears can search the Photos you allow it to access and suggest likely artwork for you to review.

Find artwork in Photos uses on-device analysis. Suggestions are meant to help you find artwork — not to guarantee every piece is detected.

Scan the pile before it disappears

Photograph paper artwork before it gets crumpled or lost. ArtYears can help detect page edges and straighten captures when conditions allow. Review each piece before it joins the library — one piece or many.

Every creative year, automatically organized

Child birthday + artwork date creates age organization such as Baby, Age 1, Age 2, Age 3 and beyond — so each creative year stays easy to find.

Art Books that build themselves

Artwork from each age becomes an automatic Age Art Book. Customize the cover, layouts, backgrounds, artwork order and captions. Your book edits stay saved in the local library.

Albums remain simple collections — separate from Art Books.

Frequently asked questions

What is ArtYears?

ArtYears is an iPhone and iPad app for parents and families to scan, organize, print and preserve children's artwork in a private local library.

Does ArtYears work on iPad?

How can I save my child's artwork?

ArtYears lets you scan paper artwork, import selected Photos, and optionally search Photos for likely artwork. Everything is organized in a private library on your iPhone or iPad.

Can ArtYears find drawings already in my Photos?

Yes. Find artwork in Photos can search the Photos you allow ArtYears to access and suggest likely artwork for you to review before adding. It uses on-device analysis and does not claim to find every piece.

How do I scan kids' drawings?

Choose Scan artwork, photograph a piece, and review the result before saving. ArtYears can help detect page edges and straighten the capture when conditions allow.

How does ArtYears organize artwork by age?

ArtYears uses each child's birthday together with the artwork date to group pieces into ages such as Baby, Age 1, Age 2, and so on, and to build automatic Age Art Books.

What is an Age Art Book?

An Age Art Book is an automatic book created from a child's artwork for a given age. You can customize cover, layouts, backgrounds, order and captions, then print or save a PDF.

Can I print my child's artwork?

What is the difference between Export artwork and Create backup?

Export artwork takes your image files out of ArtYears. Create backup preserves the complete ArtYears library so you can restore it later. iCloud Backup can also keep recent restorable copies in your private Apple iCloud storage.

What is iCloud Backup?
