One-minute setup with AI + 1-click import. Export a ready-made JSON prompt, let ChatGPT or Claude fill it from your résumé or LinkedIn, then import it back in a single click — your entire portfolio populated instantly, with zero manual data entry.
Most portfolio plugins hand you a generic image grid. AnimFolio gives you a designed experience built for who you actually are — each format has its own layout, typography, motion, and color identity.
Perfect for: developers, designers, UI/UX and product people, photographers, writers, data scientists, founders, consultants, freelancers, students, and anyone who wants a fast, animated personal site or link-in-bio.
It’s not only a portfolio and resume builder. With the Custom HTML section — which accepts rich HTML and WordPress shortcodes — you can stack sections to assemble a complete animated single-page website for almost anything: a product or app landing page, a SaaS / startup site, a personal or small-business mini-site, a link-in-bio, an event or launch page, and more. Many people start with a portfolio and grow it into their main site — same animations, same admin, no theme lock-in.

The request includes the requested font family names and the standard data any web request carries (IP address, user agent).
