Share your portfolio as a link.
One link to your work, opening in the browser the moment a recruiter or client clicks, with no login wall, no heavy attachment, and no annual site builder fee.
- 25MBa file on the free plan
- 10 linkslive at once, free
- No capon visitors, on any plan
What they see
Your work opens in their browser.
A PDF portfolio opens in the browser's PDF reader with a download button beside it. A single HTML page renders as a page, an image opens full size, and a zipped site serves at its own nudgehost.site address.
- A preview card showing the first page of a PDF
- Opens on a phone or a laptop, with no sign-in
- A zipped site keeps its own navigation
How it works
From portfolio to link in three steps.
Drop your work
Drag a PDF, an HTML page, an image or a zipped site export onto the uploader. The first upload works without an account.
Copy the link
A PDF, a page or an image gets a short nudgehost.com link. A zipped site goes live at its own nudgehost.site address.
Send it to the studio
Paste it into an application, an email or your bio. Whoever opens it doesn't need an account.
After you send it
The link keeps up with your work.
Most of this is on the free plan. Passwords and the detail behind each open come with Pro.
Add new work, keep the link
Upload the new version over the old one. The address, the view count and any password or end date stay the same.
See whether it was reviewed
Free accounts see how many times the portfolio was opened. Pro adds the time and country of each open, with a CSV export.
Keep client work private
On Pro, a password keeps unreleased client work closed to anyone without it. Any account can give the link an end date.

Why a link works better for a portfolio.
A portfolio only helps if the person you send it to opens it. Portfolio sites wrap your work in their own navigation and suggestions, and a large PDF attachment can be stripped by a mail server before it arrives. A link opens your work directly, on a phone or a laptop, with nothing in front of it.
Photographers who want to send a single hero shot can post one photo as a link, and it opens full size rather than as a download. A hand-coded one-page site can go up as a single HTML file. A multi-page export can go live from a zipped folder at its own nudgehost.site address, navigation and all.
The link reports opens, so you know whether a studio looked before the interview. Putting a zipped portfolio site on a domain you own makes it read as part of your brand. That comes with the Pro and Studio subscriptions, which also raise the file size ceiling for heavy image work.

Frequently asked questions
What format should my portfolio be in?
A designed PDF, a single-file HTML page, a hero image, or a zipped site export. The documents and images open in the viewer; a zipped site serves as a browsable site at its own subdomain.
Will a recruiter need an account to open it?
No. Anyone with the link opens your portfolio in their browser. There is no sign-in and no download step.
Can I tell whether my portfolio was opened?
Yes. The link reports opens, so you can see whether your work was viewed before an interview or a pitch call.
Can I update my portfolio without sending a new link?
Yes. Replace the file in your dashboard and the URL stays the same. Everyone who already has the link sees the new version on their next visit.
Can I share it without making an account?
Yes. Upload signed out and the link works straight away. It lasts 7 days and you can hold 3 at once, and signing up later moves the links across so they stop expiring.
Can I keep client work private?
Yes, on Pro and Studio. A password keeps the portfolio closed to anyone who doesn't have it.
