PORTFOLIO PDF FAQ
CHOOSE FOR THE READER
The question is not which format is universally better. It is which one lets this person understand the work with the least friction.
Use a PDF for a bounded document.
A PDF gives the reader a controlled sequence, one file, and a portable record of the work.
WEBSITE
Use a website for browsing.
A website can keep the work open for a reader who benefits from moving through it at their own pace.
BOTH
Use both when the contexts differ.
A portable PDF and a browsable site can coexist when they serve different readers or moments.
DO NOT TURN THE FORMAT INTO A PROMISE
A PDF is often the clearest choice when you need one portable document with a deliberate order. A website is often the clearer choice when the work benefits from browsing, links, or an open-ended presentation.
The format does not create the value on its own. The same work still needs a focused selection, clear sequence, and an appropriate level of detail for the reader.
If you use both, keep their jobs distinct. The PDF can be the contained document. The website can remain the browsable presentation.
WHERE EXPORTFOLIO FITS
PDF export can preserve the Behance layout where useful or use one image per page. Founder access also covers the broader supported Webfolio workflow. A Webfolio is a downloadable, deployable static ZIP where supported, not automatic hosting.
KEEP READING
Use ExportFolio only for public Behance work you own or have permission to export. ExportFolio is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Behance or Adobe.
When a portable PDF is the right next step, start with selected project PDFs and set the export around the reader.
