Splarchive was founded in September of 2010 by Art Holland and David Vogler. The application was intended to give internet users a convenient way to store their important files in a universally accepted format. Splarchive was intended to give users peace of mind with a place to access their files, even if their computer or mobile device is damaged. The application has accumulated a list of benefits that make it more appealing to many users, with greater accessibility than iCloud.

Splarchive offers file storage in a way that is a little different from many other online file storage services. Rather than housing all file types, Splarchive automatically converts the user’s files into a PDF format that can be used by any device. This ensures that the user will always be able to access their documents regardless of whether they are using a computer, mobile phone or tablet computer. The PDF format is also ideal in case of changes to software products that can alter files or make them obsolete.

Splarchive has a very appealing look, with bright green and a dark background. Eye-catching contrast aside, the application is also very easy to use. Newcomers are met with familiar icons that are very similar to icons found in PDF readers like Adobe. A sidebar menu allows the user to find specific portions of a file. The application also includes a handy search tool so users can jump to groups of files based on keyword. Overall, Splarchive takes little time to learn, especially for users who are familiar with common file editing programs.
