AnimFolio – Animated Portfolio & Resume Builder

Build an animated portfolio that actually stands out — in minutes, for free. AnimFolio turns your name, work, and skills into a polished one-page site using 15 profession-specific formats, from a terminal-style developer portfolio to an RPG-gamified quest log. Pick a format, load demo content, edit it to be yours, and publish. No page builder, no theme lock-in, no code required.

👉 Live demo — try all 15 formats: https://rahulmahadik.com/animfolio

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.

External services

AnimFolio is self-contained and, by default, makes no external requests — all fonts, scripts, and styles are bundled locally and there is no tracking, analytics, or “phone home”. One optional integration can connect to a third-party service, and only when you explicitly enable it:

Google Fonts (optional, off by default) When you set Customizer → Typography → Font Loading to “Google”, the visitor’s browser requests font stylesheets from fonts.googleapis.com and font files from fonts.gstatic.com so the chosen Google-hosted font can render. This happens only on pages that use such a font and only after you opt in; with the default “Local” setting no request is made. The request includes the requested font family names and the standard data any web request carries (IP address, user agent). See the Google Fonts FAQ (https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq) and Google Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy).

Note: when you add a video URL to a Project, AnimFolio uses WordPress core’s built-in oEmbed (wp_oembed_get) to fetch the embed markup from the video provider you chose (e.g. YouTube/Vimeo); the result is cached locally so it is fetched at most once per URL. This uses WordPress core, not a service AnimFolio bundles.
