The Augmented Reality Platform
for Creatives & Brands
We give artists, museums, educators and brands a simple way to add a living digital layer to the physical world, no code required.
Changing how art is created and experienced.
Artivive was founded in January 2017 in Vienna by Sergiu Ardelean and Codin Popescu. What began as a way to link classical and digital art has grown into the leading augmented reality platform for creatives, built by a team of designers and senior developers who believe technology should expand imagination, not complicate it.
"Our vision is to change how art is created and consumed, and to build a global community around augmented reality art."
Artivive lets creators open a new dimension in their work by linking the physical piece with a digital layer. Anyone can point a smartphone or tablet at the artwork to unlock animation, context and story, turning a single moment of viewing into a journey.
Powered by a global creative community.
More than 700,000 creators in 190+ countries build with Artivive every day: independent artists, illustrators, muralists, designers, photographers, students and educators. It is the community that makes the platform, sharing work, inspiring each other, and pushing what augmented reality can be.

The people who create with Artivive.
"As an artist I work at the interface between the still and the moving image. Artivive perfectly translates this combination of media and brings my art to full expression."
"We have been creating digital art for over three decades. With Artivive we found the perfect tool to add another dimension to our work."
"By far the most accessible and beginner-friendly tool for teaching the foundations of augmented reality. It empowers people to bring their ideas to life."
"Students are always amazed when they first see Artivive in action. It gives them an enormous sense of accomplishment. We love it!"
Brands use Artivive to make the physical interactive.
From packaging and merchandise to campaigns and retail spaces, brands turn everyday touchpoints into memorable augmented experiences, deepening engagement and giving audiences a reason to look closer. We also deliver fully branded, custom AR experiences end to end.
