Questions people ask first

Is Artivive free?

Yes, to start. The Basic plan is free, with no card: unlimited artworks, 50 views to try it out (lifetime, not monthly), and WebAR with a watermark. Paid plans add monthly views; Pro Plus removes the watermark. See the plans

Do I need 3D or animation skills?

No. Start from any image and a video you already have, even one filmed on your phone, or use one of Bridge's built-in effects. No code either.

What happens after the 50 free views?

You keep all your artworks. Once the views are used, people who scan them see a "Views limit reached" message until you upgrade: Pro has 1,000 views a month. How views work

How does Artivive work?

You upload an image to the Bridge editor and add a video, an animation or one of Bridge's effects on top of it. When someone points a phone at the printed or displayed image, the layer plays over it, in the Artivive app or in the browser with WebAR.

Do viewers need the Artivive app?

No. Viewers can use the free Artivive app for iOS and Android, or open the artwork in their phone's browser with WebAR, from a link or a QR code, with nothing to install. On Free and Pro, WebAR shows a watermark; Pro Plus removes it.

What is WebAR?

WebAR is augmented reality that runs in a mobile browser instead of an app. With Artivive you share a WebAR link or QR code; the viewer opens it, points the camera at your image and sees the animation play on it. Pro Plus puts up to 10 artworks behind one WebAR QR code.

Can I use Artivive in a classroom?

Yes. Students sign up with Google or Clever, and the educational package gives a whole class Pro accounts, from 10 seats. The educational package
