Artify

With the latest advancements in technology, art can not only be expressed in an unprecedented variety of ways in the digital plane, but also shared with the world almost instantly. For art aficionados who want to keep their favorite artists’ works without the risk of deletion that comes with almost any server-based solution.

As such, if you want to expand your digital art gallery, then Artify can be of great use, thanks to its ability to download high resolution images from popular image-sharing platforms Deviantart and Artstation without having to log in, or from the Pixiv domain through its optional login feature.

Thanks to its portable format, the program can be handy for those with on-the-go setups or users who want to start downloading right away, skipping the installation wizards altogether. The application greets users to a straightforward interface where they can choose between the three well-known online art communities by clicking on their respective logos.

Once the platform is selected, one can simply input the name of the artist into the address bar in order to download all of their posts, making it perfect for those who want to consolidate their wallpaper collections. Alternatively, users can paste the link of a single post belonging to their favorite artist in order to ensure that no typos occur.

By default, the downloaded images are placed in the “Pictures” directory of the current Windows user, but one can pick any other folder on a different storage location to avoid cluttering their main local disk. The program may encounter restrictions from the host websites when downloading, which is why it would be best to limit the amount of concurrent tasks to be executed, thus minimizing the risk of getting your IP banned by the server.

For a greater degree of security, the user can also pick a maximum number of download attempts, in case the retrieval failed on first try. Moreover, if you need to save a series of albums in a short time span, the program can be made to abort a botched downloading operation after a certain number of seconds, sparing the user from waiting too long for a task that would not be eventually completed.

In terms of improvements, the app could use an option to download a single photo through its respective URL, for those who are not looking forward to saving the entire portfolio of an artist. Being able to specify the maximum amount of photos to be downloaded can give users more control over large art profiles that can fill up their storage device’s space rather quickly.

Whether you want to have a comprehensive library of custom wallpapers for your desktop or you want to make sure that you are not caught off-guard when the work of your favorite artist is deleted from the original platform, then Artify’s straightforward design and speed may be sufficient for your needs.
