Why Portfolia

Your portfolio deserves better than a PDF attachment.

It looks like the real thing

A 3D flipbook lit like a studio photograph, with soft shadows and real paper. Your work feels printed, not pasted.

Try it before you sign up

Drop in your PDF and see it in every reader straight away. No account and no card until you want to publish.

One link, everywhere

Share a permanent link or a QR code, or embed it on your own website. Embedding is free on every plan.

Update without re-sending

Replace your PDF whenever your work changes. The link you already sent shows the new version.

Book photos without a shoot

The Photo shoot is a 3D book visualiser: leaning, spine and flat lay mockups of your own pages, ready to download with Personal.

PDF or Portfolia

Why send a link instead of a PDF?

A PDF attachment is static, heavy and gone once you send it. A Portfolia link is your work as a living book: easy to open, easy to share, and you can see what happens next.

What readers getPDF filePortfolia
  • Opens instantly in any browser, nothing to download
  • Turns like a real book, on phones too
  • Links, buttons, videos and pop-ups on the pages
  • Update it any time; the link you sent stays the same
  • See who read it, which pages, and for how long
  • Password, expiry date and your own address

Features

Everything your PDF can't do on its own.

  • Hotspots and buttons

    Product tags, pop-up cards with a picture and price, and buttons to your shop, email or phone.

  • YouTube and Vimeo

    Paste a link and the video plays right on the page, or starts by itself, muted.

  • Info icons

    A small (i) that shows extra words when readers hover, or tap on a phone.

  • Lead forms

    Ask readers for their email (and more) at a page you choose, and get each reply by email.

  • Reader insights

    Which pages people read and for how long, what they click and play, and how far they get.

  • Your brand

    Your logo in the viewer, your colours, lighting, backgrounds and your own address.

  • Privacy controls

    Password protection, an expiry date, hidden pages and downloads on or off.

  • Share anywhere

    A permanent link, a QR code, an embed for your website, and links to any page.

  • Easy to read

    Search, page thumbnails, contents, zoom and full screen, in flipbook, scroll or page by page.

Questions

Is the Free plan really free?+

Yes. No card and no trial timer. Free keeps one portfolio online with a permanent link for as long as you like.

Do I need an account to try it?+

No. Drop a PDF on the homepage to preview it in every reader. Sign in only when you want to save and publish.

Can I change plan later?+

Yes. Move between monthly and yearly billing, between Personal and Business, or back to Free, at any time from your dashboard. Changes are charged or credited for the time left.

Who is Business for?+

Studios, brands and teams publishing more: up to 50 portfolios, larger PDFs, your own Google Analytics, lead alerts for your team and priority support. It includes everything in Personal.

What happens if I cancel Personal?+

Will links I have already shared keep working if I upgrade?+

Yes. Your permanent /p/ link never changes. Your personalised address is added alongside it.

How do people find my portfolio?+

Share your link or QR code, embed it on your own site, or opt in to search engine indexing for each portfolio.
