Art catalog builder for artists, painters, and galleries
An art catalog builder is a tool that turns a set of artworks into a formatted, print-ready PDF catalogue. DigitalEyezz is a free online catalog maker built specifically for visual artists: you upload images, enter title, medium, dimensions, year, edition, and price, and the builder lays out one clean page per work — no InDesign, Canva, or design experience required.
What an artist catalog should contain
A complete artist catalog opens with a cover (artist name, series or exhibition title, year), followed by a short statement or curator's note, then the plate section: one artwork per page with a reproduction and a caption listing title, year, medium, dimensions in cm and inches, edition number where relevant, and price or 'price on request'. Close with a checklist of works, a condensed CV, and contact details. DigitalEyezz generates each of these sections from the data you enter, so the numbering and typography stay consistent across every page.
Free artwork inventory software
Because every entry stores image, metadata, and price, the catalog builder doubles as artwork inventory software. Painters use it to track what has been made, what is available, what is on consignment, and what has sold — then export the same records as a collector-facing catalogue, an art price list, or a set of wall labels without re-typing anything.
Catalog maker vs. design software
General catalog makers and page-layout apps expect you to build a grid, set baseline rhythm, and manage image resolution yourself. An art catalog builder starts from the finished layout: margins, caption hierarchy, and image placement are already set to gallery conventions, so a twenty-work catalogue takes minutes rather than a weekend. You keep control of order, cover text, and pricing; the tool handles typesetting and PDF export.
Who uses the catalog builder
Independent painters preparing studio visits and open calls, illustrators and printmakers assembling an art portfolio PDF for galleries, curators producing exhibition documentation, and small galleries sending artwork catalogues to collectors. The exported PDF is A4 at print resolution, so the same file works as an email attachment, a grant-application appendix, and a file for a local print shop.
