Using Pixpa?
Great to sell. Different to get hired.
Pixpa is an all-in-one site builder for creators, with a built-in store and client galleries so you can showcase, sell, and deliver work in one place. Selling and delivering is something Portfolio does not do, so if a store and galleries are central to your work, stay on Pixpa. Portfolio answers a different need: paste your resume and get a multi-page professional website on your own domain, with a designer resume, a live ATS score, and a matched cover letter. If the goal is a hiring site rather than a shop, read on.
What Pixpa is great at.
A fair account before the comparison. Pixpa packs a lot into one platform, and for creators who sell, that bundle is the appeal. If commerce is part of the job, it delivers.
Sell prints, downloads, or services without bolting on a separate shop.
Private galleries to share and deliver work to clients. Portfolio has nothing like it.
Site, store, galleries, and blog bundled together for creators.
People running a small creative business from one place are well served here.
Pixpa and Portfolio, judged fairly.
Different jobs entirely. Pixpa wins on the store and client galleries in one bundle. Portfolio wins when the goal is a hiring-focused site drafted from a resume.
| Pixpa | Portfolio | |
|---|---|---|
| Best at | An all-in-one creator site with commerce | A hiring site drafted from your resume |
| Store | Yes, built in | No, it is not a commerce tool |
| Client galleries | Yes, a real strength | No gallery delivery |
| Built around | Selling and delivering work | Your resume and career history |
| How you build it | Assemble pages and a store | Paste a resume, get a draft in about a minute |
| Resume tooling | None | Designer resume with a live ATS score |
| Cover letter | No | Matched to the same profile |
| Custom domain | Yes, on paid plans | Yes, TLS handled automatically |
To sell work and deliver client galleries in one place, Pixpa is the right bundle. For a resume-driven hiring site with a scored resume, that is what Portfolio is for.

Pixpa questions, answered.
Straight answers on where each tool wins and where it does not compete.
Does Portfolio have a store like Pixpa?
No. A built-in store and client galleries are real strengths of Pixpa, and if you sell and deliver work they matter a lot. Portfolio builds a professional website from a resume and has no commerce or gallery delivery. If selling is central, keep Pixpa.
Can Portfolio deliver galleries to clients?
No, that is a Pixpa strength. Portfolio is built around your resume and career story, with a scored resume beside the site. It fits a hiring goal, not a client delivery workflow.
What does the ATS score do?
It shows live how readable your resume is to an applicant tracking system, so nothing important is lost in parsing. You can try the free ATS score checker before you build.
Do both support a custom domain?
Yes. Pixpa supports a custom domain on its paid plans, and Portfolio connects one with TLS handled automatically. On that point they are comparable.
How does Portfolio build the site?
You paste your resume and it drafts the pages, the copy, and a matched designer resume. See resume to portfolio for how each section becomes a page.
Should I leave Pixpa?
Not for commerce. Pixpa is the right tool for a store and client galleries. Consider Portfolio when you separately want a hiring website built from a resume with a scored resume beside it.
