About MyArtPDF
Gallery-ready PDF tools for artists, built by an artist.
MyArtPDF was created to solve a simple but very real problem: making professional portfolios, CVs and statements shouldn’t require learning design software or paying for heavy SaaS tools.
Why this tool exists
As an artist, I struggled every time I needed to send a portfolio: residencies, galleries, open calls, schools. I kept rebuilding PDFs, fighting with layout, and jumping between tools that were never really designed for artists.
MyArtPDF was born from a simple idea: every artist should be able to generate a clean, gallery-ready PDF portfolio, CV, biography and statement — without stress, without subscriptions, and without giving away their data.
Local-first by design
MyArtPDF runs directly in your browser or desktop app. Your data stays on your device: artwork images, text, structure, everything. There is no cloud account and no hidden sync.
You can export your project as a .myartpdf file, keep multiple
versions on your computer, and import them back whenever you need
to update or reuse a portfolio. It’s a file-based workflow, not a
locked-in platform.
Focus on the content, not the layout
MyArtPDF takes care of the structure: cover page, CV, biography, artist statement, and artworks with proper metadata. The layout follows gallery and institution standards, so you can focus on writing, selecting images, and ordering your works.
The free edition lets you create one full portfolio with up to 15 artworks, an artist CV, biography and statement, and export it as a professional PDF — all without logging in.
Built for real-world art contexts
The goal is simple: make it easier to apply to residencies, respond to gallery requests, or send a portfolio to a curator, without spending hours on layout decisions.
The structure MyArtPDF generates is aligned with what institutions expect: clear sections, single-column typography, and clean metadata under each artwork.
Support MyArtPDF
MyArtPDF is an independent project built and maintained by one person, alongside a studio practice. The core experience is free so that any artist, anywhere, can create a gallery-ready portfolio without friction.
If MyArtPDF helps you in your practice and you’d like to support its development, you can do so with an optional donation. There is no paywall, no upsell, and no obligation — it simply helps keep the project alive for everyone.
Donations are completely optional and do not unlock extra features.
