ArtHelper: Getting Started with "My Artwork"

Url: https://app.arthelper.ai/my-artwork

The My Artwork section is the central hub of your ArtHelper account. It is your personal digital asset manager where you can store, organize, and edit your creative work. Keeping your library updated makes it incredibly easy to quickly pull high-quality assets for mockups, marketing campaigns, social media posts, and portfolio reviews.

What to Know as a Beginner

If you are new to ArtHelper, keep these five core principles in mind to maintain a healthy digital library:

  1. Upload First: Always upload your artwork here first so it is securely saved to your account.

  2. Detail Your Work: Add titles, descriptions, and tags to make each piece easily searchable.

  3. Use Folders & Collections: Group similar works together to avoid endless scrolling.

  4. Leverage Search & Filters: Quickly find exact pieces by their tag, upload date, or specific keywords.

  5. Maintain Total Control: Edit details or delete artwork at any time as your portfolio evolves.

How to Upload Your Artwork

The My Artwork page serves as your account homepage. To upload your files:

  1. Navigate to the My Artwork page (/my-artwork).

  2. Click the black Add Artwork button located in the top-right corner.

  3. Select the image files from your computer.

  4. Allow the upload to complete, then fill out the following fields:

    • Title

    • Description

    • Dimensions

    • Tags

💡 Pro-Tips for Uploading:

  • Resolution Matters: Always upload the highest-resolution image file you have for the best results across mockups and print tools.

  • Supported Formats: .png, .jpg, .jpeg, and .tiff.

  • File Size Limit: Up to 100MB per file.

  • Accuracy Counts: Enter exact physical dimensions if you plan to use this artwork to sell prints later.

How to Edit & Adjust Artwork Details

As your pieces change or sell, you can easily update their metadata.

  1. Go to My Artwork.

  2. Locate and click on the artwork you wish to change to open its Details area.

  3. Update the Title, Description, Dimensions, or Tags fields.

  4. Click Save to apply your changes.

💡 Pro-Tips for Details:

  • Consistency is Key: Keep your titles clear and structured (e.g., Title_Year_Series) so they remain easy to search.

  • Write Rich Descriptions: Use the description box to add helpful context that search engines and marketing tools can read later, including Subject, Medium, Size, and the Inspiration behind the piece.

How to Organize Using Folders & Collections

As your library grows, scrolling through a single feed can become overwhelming. Folders and collections allow you to separate finished work, active series, and digital experiments to maintain a professional workspace.

Why Organization Matters:

  • Saves Time: Instant access to specific pieces when creating mockups or social posts.

  • Streamlines Marketing: Easily pull together a cohesive body of work for an exhibition proposal or a product launch.

  • Maintains Structure: Group related work by style, subject matter, or creation date.

Easy Ways to Categorize Your Work:

  • By Subject: Landscapes, portraits, abstracts, animals.

  • By Medium: Oil, watercolor, digital, sculpture.

  • By Series: Grouped by a specific collection or theme.

  • By Purpose: Originals, print-on-demand assets, portfolio picks, or social media favorites.

🔰 A Simple System for Beginners

If you aren’t sure how to start organizing, we recommend building a basic three-folder system:

  1. Folder 1: Finished Work

  2. Folder 2: Works in Progress (WIP)

  3. Folder 3: Favorites / Portfolio Highlights Combine this with simple tags like landscape, portrait, oil-painting, or watercolor.

Mastering Search vs. Filters

Understanding the difference between Search and Filters will drastically speed up your workflow.

Using Search

Use the Search Bar when you already know exactly what you are looking for. The search tool scans your library for:

  • Specific text in titles

  • Specific keywords in descriptions

  • Distinct tags (e.g., sunset, abstract)

Using Filters

Use Filters when you want to narrow down a large library into a broader specific category. Instead of scanning everything, you can filter by:

  • Target Tags

  • Upload Date / Creation Date

  • Specific custom criteria within the /my-artwork dashboard

The Golden Rule: Search is best for finding a specific needle in a haystack (e.g., searching a precise title). Filters are best for shrinking the size of the haystack (e.g., viewing “all landscapes uploaded in 2026”).

Example of an optimized piece:

If you tag an image with landscape, oil-painting, and sunset, it will instantly appear when you filter for oil paintings, and will show up immediately if a user types sunset into the search bar.

How to Delete Artwork

If you need to clean up your library or remove duplicate uploads, you can delete artwork using two different methods.
