While book platforms like Goodreads offer tools to track reading and reviews, and art platforms like Instagram are rich with fan art, there's no unified space where both worlds meet. BookARtify bridges this gap — making book-inspired art discoverable, searchable, and interactive through features like AR visualization, curated book-art connections, and a dedicated creative community.
