About plainfolio

plainfolio is a free, deliberately simple photo portfolio host. You upload photos, they arrange themselves into a clean grid, and nothing gets in the way of the work. No templates, no page builder, no clutter.

Plainfolio started as one photographer's own site, jamespaquette.plainfolio.site, built because every portfolio builder wanted to be a page designer first and a photo host second. Templates, animations, and drag and drop editors all get in the way of the one thing a portfolio actually needs to do: show the photos, in order, without cropping them into a shape they were not taken in.

Simple is not a gimmick here. A plain background, plain text links, and photos that fill the page is still the fastest way to look at someone's work.

Plainfolio is free because a portfolio should not cost more than the camera did. Pro exists to cover hosting for people who outgrow the free limits, at $1.99 a month.
