What it does
Building a good-looking portfolio in Elementor usually means stitching together galleries, filters and project pages by hand. This plugin gives you a dedicated way to do it. You manage portfolio items from an admin panel, adding custom project URLs, meta information and YouTube or Vimeo videos, then place them on any page with Elementor. It requires Elementor to run, and it works inside the editor you already use.
For layout, you can pick from more than 20 premade designs and choose carousel, isotope, masonry, grid or tab views. Color and typography settings let you match your brand, and a font library is included. Visitors can filter items by category, browse with normal or Ajax pagination and open a detail page for each project. Layouts are responsive, so portfolios adapt to desktops, tablets and phones.
Best for
- Designers, photographers and other creatives presenting their work
- Agencies displaying client projects and case studies
- Business sites built with Elementor that list products or samples
Features
More than 20 premade designs
Start from one of over 20 ready-made portfolio layouts built for different styles and industries, then adjust colors and fonts to fit your site.
Five display styles
Show portfolio items as a carousel, isotope layout, masonry, grid or tabbed view, depending on how you want visitors to browse your work.
YouTube and Vimeo videos
Embed videos from YouTube and Vimeo inside portfolio items, so motion work, demos or client videos sit alongside your image-based projects.
Category filtering
Let visitors filter portfolio items by category, which helps them find the type of project they care about in a larger collection.
Custom URLs and meta control
Give each project its own link and choose which meta information appears, so you can point items to case studies or external pages.
Item count and title length
Set how many portfolio items display and limit the length of titles to keep each layout tidy and consistent.
Portfolio details page
Turn on a dedicated detail view for each item to present project descriptions, case studies or client testimonials in more depth.
Normal and Ajax pagination
Split long portfolios into pages using standard pagination or Ajax pagination, which loads more items without a full page reload.
Questions about Portfolio Builder
Do I need Elementor to use this plugin?
Yes. Portfolio Builder is an addon for the Elementor page builder and requires Elementor to be active. You add and arrange portfolios through the Elementor editor, while portfolio items themselves are managed in the plugin's admin panel.
Can I add videos to my portfolio items?
You can. Each portfolio item supports embedded videos from YouTube and Vimeo, so you can mix video projects with image-based ones in the same layout. This works well for showreels, product demos or recorded client work.
Will the portfolio work on phones and tablets?
The layouts are responsive, so your portfolio adjusts to desktops, tablets and smartphones. You can still pick the display style that suits your content, such as grid, masonry or carousel, and it will adapt to smaller screens.
Can each project have its own page?
Yes. The plugin includes a portfolio details page that you can enable for each item. Use it for longer project descriptions, case studies or client testimonials. You can also set a custom URL if you would rather link a project somewhere else.
Is Portfolio Builder free?
The code of Portfolio Builder is licensed under the GPL, so anyone may use, change and share it. GPL Feast is a paid service: a plan or a single purchase gives you the download and automatic updates. The developer's own support, licence key and online services are not included.
