I was amazed at how easily and beautifully my portfolio site came together with Illustfolio Lumina, especially after struggling with similar projects in the past. It was so much more enjoyable than I expected, and I completed it in almost a day. The basic structure was exactly what I wanted, so all I had to do was upload my work to create the perfect page.
Choose a display mode that shows thumbnails without cropping, so your artwork is never cut off. With category-based display, infinite scroll, and more, you can organize your work effortlessly.
When you want to accept work, you can create a unified design for your portfolio and contact pages. This makes it easy not only for yourself but also for your clients to understand your site.
Illustfolio has been dedicated to illustrator portfolios since 2012. Over a decade of focused refinement is what makes Lumina feel right from the start.
By enabling Tumblr’s "Block third-party sharing" setting, you can reduce the risk of your work being used for AI training without permission.*1
No design experience needed. Lumina looks polished and professional right out of the box — just add your work and you're ready to share.
One of the pieces I featured on my homepage actually led to a commission. The layout makes it easy to highlight the work I want people to see—it’s exactly what I was looking for.
The design is simple and cute. I like that I can change the background color to match my mood, and the profile section is clean and easy to read without feeling cluttered.
I was worried I wouldn’t be able to build it properly, but following the guide made it surprisingly simple. With drag-and-drop uploads, even updates I used to put off have become something I enjoy doing.
When someone at an event asks to see my work, it’s incredibly convenient to just pull it up on my phone. During meetings, I can also display it on my iPad and discuss it with clients, which gives me confidence to use it on-site.
The layout is very appealing, with all the necessary information easily accessible at the top. The font size and design elements are well thought out and easy to read and navigate. I also appreciate how the large illustration at the top of the site helps convey a personal and unique style.
It doesn’t look like a typical template; it looks like a site you created yourself.
I create both fan art and original art, so I like that I can categorize them by genre. This also makes it easier for clients to browse the site.
I’ve long wondered if it would be possible to have both a good-looking portfolio and a platform where everyone can see it, and this seems to solve the problem!
Illustfolio has been a trusted portfolio template for illustrators since its launch in 2012, used by over 35,000 creators to showcase their work.
With the latest version, Illustfolio Lumina, I’ve refined the experience based on user feedback— making it easier to organize your work, introduce yourself clearly, and customize your site to reflect your style.
Designed to be simple yet effective, I continue to evolve Illustfolio to help you share what matters.

I have been developing a Tumblr theme called Illustfolio for many years to make it super easy for illustrators to create portfolio websites.
Through dozens of interviews, I repeatedly heard, “I have a portfolio site, but I’m not sure if I’m using it well,” and “I’m usually too busy with illustration work to manage my site.” These inspired me to create Illustfolio Lumina.
