Curators speaking
They came for a video. They stayed for the archive.
“Sixty mechanical watches in a bank box. Curio gave each one a museum reel my followers actually slow down for. My DMs went from "how much" to "tell me the story."”
“I sold a first-pressing for 38% over comp last month. The buyer said the reel made him trust the listing before he even read the description.”
“Insurance loved having a proper PDF archive card next to the reel. Finally my collection has a paper trail that does not look like a spreadsheet.”
“I batch-uploaded 30 figures over a weekend. Reel quality is wild — the lighting actually flatters the paint work, not just the silhouette.”

Honest answers
Things every collector asks first.
No. Photos you upload are processed only to render your showcase reels and archive cards. We do not use them to train models. You can delete uploads at any time and we purge them from backups within 30 days.
No. Curio renders presentation reels — nothing more. We do not authenticate, grade, appraise, certify, or insure collectibles. For provenance, condition reports, or valuation, please consult a licensed authenticator, grader, or appraiser.
Yes. Cancellation lives two clicks away inside Account → Billing. Your plan stays active until the end of the current billing period and unused subscription credits expire at the renewal boundary unless otherwise stated.
Subscription credits reset each cycle. Top-up packs roll over. Unused subscription credits are not refundable; unused top-up credits are refundable on a pro-rata basis within 14 days of purchase, provided no credits in the pack have been spent.
Yes. Reels are yours to share, post, or attach to listings. You must describe the actual condition of your item honestly — Curio reels are presentation, not a substitute for an official condition report or authentication letter.
Photographing your own physical collection for personal showcase use is permitted. You may not generate fabricated items mimicking a registered trademark or counterfeit a brand’s design. We screen prompts for obvious infringements and remove abusive accounts.
Around 30 seconds for a 1080p reel. 4K Vault renders queue at higher priority and typically return within 60 seconds. Heavy days may add a small delay; we surface a live queue position.
