Getting Started: Create Your Portfolio
Getting your portfolio online takes minutes, not hours. PortfolioOS imports your existing data from LinkedIn, GitHub, or a resume PDF so you never have to manually type out your work history.
Step 1: Import from LinkedIn
Upload your LinkedIn profile export or connect via OAuth. Our parser extracts work experience, education, skills, certifications, and recommendations automatically.
💡 Pro tip: You can also import directly from your public LinkedIn profile URL. PortfolioOS will scrape and structure your public profile data automatically.
Step 2: Import from GitHub
Connect your GitHub account to automatically import your repositories, contributions, and pinned projects. Your portfolio stays in sync with your GitHub activity.
Auto Sync
New repos and contributions sync daily. Your portfolio always reflects your latest work.
Selective Display
Choose which repos to show. Hide private, archived, or old projects you no longer want featured.
Step 3: Upload a Resume PDF
Drag and drop your resume PDF and we'll parse it into structured portfolio data. Our parser handles most common resume formats including ATS-optimized layouts.
⚠️ Important: Review parsed data carefully. Complex layouts may require manual adjustments. Use the editor to fix any misinterpreted fields.
Step 4: Manual Entry
Prefer full control? Use the portfolio editor to enter everything manually. Build your profile section by section with our intuitive form builder.
Next steps: Once your data is loaded, move on to Customization to pick a theme and adjust the look and feel of your portfolio.
Step 5: Preview and Publish
Before going live, preview your portfolio across desktop, tablet, and mobile. Make adjustments, then publish with one click.
💡 Pro tip: Use the draft/published workflow. Make changes in draft mode and publish when ready. Your live portfolio stays unaffected until you explicitly publish.
Customization: Themes and Layouts
Make your portfolio stand out with professional themes, custom colors, and flexible layouts. Every aspect of your portfolio is customizable without touching code.
01. Theme System
Choose from a library of professionally designed themes. Each theme provides a complete visual identity — typography, spacing, section layouts, and component styles.
💡 Pro tip: Each theme includes light and dark mode variants. Visitors can toggle between them, or you can lock your portfolio to a single mode.
02. Portfolio Sections
Control exactly which sections appear on your portfolio and their order. Enable, disable, and rearrange sections to tell your story the way you want.
Default Sections
Hero, About, Experience, Education, Skills, Projects, Contact, AI Chat
Optional Sections
Publications, Certifications, Testimonials, Blog, Speaking, Open Source
💡 Pro tip: Fewer sections with strong content beats many sections with thin content. Pick 5-7 sections that best represent your professional story.
03. Custom CSS and Branding
For fine-grained control, add custom CSS overrides. Set your exact brand colors, spacing, and visual preferences without limits.
⚠️ Important: Custom CSS is applied on top of your selected theme. Use it for tweaks, not full redesigns. For substantial changes, start from a blank-theme template.
04. Media and Assets
Upload your profile photo, cover image, resume PDF, and portfolio assets. All media is optimized and served via our CDN for fast loading.
💡 Pro tip: Use a professional headshot for the profile photo and a clean, relevant cover image. First impressions matter — these are the first things visitors see.
AI Chat: Conversational Portfolio
Every portfolio comes with a built-in AI assistant that knows your experience, skills, and background. Visitors can ask questions and get answers — like having you there 24/7.
01. How It Works
When you import or enter your data, it gets indexed into a structured knowledge base. The AI assistant uses this knowledge to answer visitor questions conversationally.
💡 Pro tip: Add a "FAQs" custom section to pre-seed answers to common questions. The AI will incorporate these into its responses.
02. Custom Personality and Tone
Configure how your AI assistant presents itself. Set the tone, communication style, and even specific instructions for how it should answer certain types of questions.
Visitor Engagement
The AI can proactively suggest questions and guide visitors through your portfolio based on their interests.
Analytics
See which questions visitors ask most. Use this insight to improve your portfolio content and FAQ section.
03. Privacy and Data Control
You have full control over what the AI can and cannot discuss. Configure data visibility at a granular level.
Section Visibility
Hide specific sections from the AI (e.g., salary expectations, private contact info).
Blocked Topics
Define topics the AI should redirect or refuse to discuss.
Chat History
View and manage chat history. Delete conversations at any time.
⚠️ Important: The AI only knows what you've added to your portfolio. Never include sensitive personal information (phone numbers, addresses) in portfolio data.
04. Embedding on External Sites
Want the AI chat on your personal website or landing page? Embed it as a widget with a single script tag.
💡 Use case: Perfect for freelancers and agencies. Embed the AI chat on your agency site so prospects can learn about your entire team's expertise.
Domains & Deployment
Your portfolio gets a free portfolios.chat subdomain instantly. Upgrade to a custom domain for a professional presence — SSL included, no configuration headaches.
01. Automatic Subdomain
Every account gets a free subdomain at portfolios.chat/your-username. Your portfolio is live instantly after publishing — no DNS, no setup.
💡 Pro tip: Share your portfolios.chat link on LinkedIn, in email signatures, and on business cards. It's clean and professional.
02. Custom Domains
Connect your own domain name for a branded experience. Available on Pro plans. SSL certificates are provisioned and renewed automatically.
Supported Configurations
apex domain (example.com), www subdomain (www.example.com), or custom subdomain (portfolio.example.com)
SSL Certificates
Auto-renewed via Let's Encrypt. Wildcard certs for subdomains. No manual renewal needed.
⚠️ Important: DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate globally, though typically complete within 5-30 minutes. Verify propagation before marking the domain as active.
03. Deployment on Vercel
Every portfolio is deployed on Vercel's edge network. Your site gets全球 CDN distribution, automatic HTTPS, and instant cache invalidation on updates.
Deployment Triggers
Publishing updates triggers automatic redeployment. Zero downtime — visitors see the old version until the new one is ready.
Preview Deployments
Each draft generates a unique preview URL. Share it with colleagues for feedback before publishing.
💡 Pro tip: Use the preview URL feature to get feedback on portfolio changes before they go live. Share the link with mentors or peers for review.
SEO: Structured Data and Metadata
Your portfolio is SEO-optimized out of the box. Every page includes structured data, Open Graph tags, and auto-generated sitemaps so recruiters and search engines can find you.
01. Built-in Structured Data
Every portfolio page automatically includes Schema.org structured data (Person, Article, ItemList). This powers rich search results with profile photos, ratings, and contact info.
💡 SEO benefit: Structured data helps you appear in Google's People Also Ask, knowledge panels, and rich snippet results — significantly increasing click-through rates.
02. Metadata and Social Cards
Control how your portfolio appears when shared on social media, messaging apps, and search results. Customize the title, description, and preview image for every page.
Open Graph
Optimized sharing on LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, and Slack. Custom og:image with your name, title, and photo.
Twitter Cards
Summary card with large image. Optimized for X/Twitter link previews with your profile information.
💡 Pro tip: A compelling meta description increases click-through rates. Include your unique value proposition and key skills in the first 160 characters.
03. Auto Sitemaps and Indexing
Your portfolio's sitemap is automatically generated and submitted to search engines. New pages and updates are indexed within hours.
⚠️ Important: While your portfolio is SEO-optimized, rankings depend on content quality, backlinks, and domain authority. Publish consistently and share your portfolio to build visibility.
04. Performance and Core Web Vitals
Every portfolio is built for speed. Our deployment pipeline optimizes images, minifies assets, and leverages edge caching — contributing to better search rankings.
Image Optimization
Automatic WebP/AVIF conversion, responsive srcset, lazy loading with blur placeholders.
Bundle Size
Code-split routes, tree-shaken CSS, minimal JS — typical portfolio loads under 100KB initial.
Edge Caching
Static assets cached at 100+ edge locations globally. Instant page loads for repeat visitors.
CDN Delivery
Global CDN with regional edge nodes. Visitors in Tokyo get the same speed as visitors in New York.
💡 SEO benefit: Core Web Vitals (LCP, FID, CLS) are a Google ranking signal. Our optimized pipeline helps your portfolio score well in all three metrics.
Resume Builder
Create a polished, ATS-friendly resume directly from your portfolio data. No need to maintain separate files — your resume stays in sync with your online presence.
01. Generate from Portfolio
Your resume is automatically generated from your portfolio data. Make changes once — it updates everywhere. Choose from professional templates optimized for ATS parsing.
💡 Pro tip: Always download your resume as PDF for job applications. The PDF preserves formatting across all operating systems and ATS platforms.
02. ATS Optimization
Our templates are designed to pass Applicant Tracking Systems. Proper heading hierarchy, semantic sections, and clean typography ensure machines can read your resume as well as humans.
Keyword Optimization
The AI analyzes your target roles and suggests skills and keywords to include for better ATS matching.
Action Bullet Generator
Transform weak descriptions into strong, quantified achievements. "Led team" → "Led a team of 12 engineers, delivering 3 major features ahead of schedule."
Format Validation
Built-in checks ensure your resume meets common ATS requirements: proper date formats, contact info, section ordering.
✅ Verified: All resume templates pass standard ATS tests (Jobscan, TopResume). Tested against major platforms including Workday, Greenhouse, and Lever.
03. Version History
Keep track of resume versions. Need to revert to an older layout or recover a previous draft? Version history has you covered.
💡 Pro tip: Create named versions for specific job applications. Tailor your resume for different roles and save each version so you can reapply later.
