How to build a PDF portfolio

A PDF portfolio is a self-contained showcase that looks the same everywhere and needs no website. It is the simplest way to present visual work.

Curate and order

Select your strongest pieces and sequence them to tell a story. Fewer, better pages beat a bloated file.

Assemble

Convert images to pages, add captions, and merge into one document with a cover.

Optimise for sending

Compress so it emails easily, but keep enough resolution that the work looks sharp.
