Resume to portfolio guide
Turn a resume into a portfolio people can explore
A resume summarizes your work. A resume website expands that summary with project evidence, clearer context, and ways to contact you. Turn your existing resume or CV into a portfolio that complements your job applications.
Upload a PDF or DOCX to Portcraft. AI structures the information you already have, then you review the content and choose the layout, colors, and section styles before requesting hosted publishing.

Portfolio launch checklist

- Check every section on mobile before sharing the link.
Questions worth asking
Common questions
What is a resume website?
A resume website presents your professional background online. A portfolio adds selected projects and supporting links so visitors can explore the work behind your resume bullets. Keep a separate resume document for applications that require one.
Can I convert my CV to a portfolio website?
Yes. Upload your existing CV in PDF or DOCX format to start building a portfolio. Review the extracted content and highlight the experience and projects relevant to the opportunities you want.
Does Portcraft create a downloadable resume?
No. Portcraft builds a portfolio website from an existing resume; it is not a resume document builder or an ATS scoring tool. Keep a separate resume for applications that require one.
Do I need design or coding experience?
No. You choose from prepared section layouts and color systems, review the live preview, and request hosted publishing through the pricing page.
Can I download the generated source code?
The current builder does not offer a self-service source-code download. Portcraft generates a Next.js portfolio for its hosted deployment workflow. If code export is essential, confirm availability before choosing the service.
Should a portfolio repeat my entire resume?
No. Keep the essential timeline, then use the extra space to add evidence, context, links, and selected work that strengthens your application.
Which resume format works best?
Use a clearly structured PDF or DOCX with selectable text. Descriptive project bullets and consistent section headings make the source easier to interpret. Convert plain-text or older Word files before using the current upload screen.
