Why these tools
Before an artist can build a portfolio PDF, the documents, the images, and the format planning that keeps everything consistent need to be ready.
Most artists spend more time than they should on all three. Reformatting a CV in Word. Batch-resizing images in Photoshop or Preview. Manually comparing standard art formats for frames, mats and prints. These are solved problems that should not consume studio time.
The CV Generator, Artist Statement Builder, Artwork Image Prep and Art Format Planner handle all of that — cleanly, locally, and without requiring a subscription to a platform that does fifty other things you do not need.
How they fit into the MyArtPDF workflow
The tools are designed to feed into the MyArtPDF macOS app.
Build your CV in the generator, export the JSON file, and import it directly into the app — no re-entry. Draft your statement in the statement builder, refine it locally, then export a TXT or PDF version ready for a gallery, residency or school submission. Prepare your artwork images with the prep tool, then drag them straight into your portfolio project. Use the format planner to match dimensions before you order frames or mats.
The tools work standalone. They also make the app faster to start using.
Your data stays in your browser
The tools run entirely in your browser. CV data is never sent to a server. Artwork images are processed locally and never uploaded. Format planning also happens locally and never leaves your device.
This is the same principle behind the MyArtPDF macOS app: your work stays on your device.
