Situ.art and Adobe Portfolio compared
Adobe Portfolio is the website builder included with most Creative Cloud plans and Behance Pro; there is no stand-alone subscription. You build pages from images, video and text, Lightroom albums can sync in, and editing works on a computer only. On Situ.art, upload a photo of a work and its size, and it’s on your website, with framed images, in-room shots, installation shots and a walk-through video made automatically.

At a glance
| Adobe Portfolio | Situ.art | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | The website builder that comes with Creative Cloud plans and Behance Pro. | An artist’s website made from the works already in your Situ.art library. Each work is shown whole, then in a room at its true size, with a person for scale and a walk-through video. |
| Price to start | No plan of its own. Included with Lightroom (US$11.99 a month, annual plan), Photography (US$19.99) and other Creative Cloud plans, or Behance Pro. | £9 a month on the Artist plan, or £7.50 a month billed yearly (£90). Room mockups, AI images and videos are included. |
| Free plan | None: publishing needs a plan that includes Portfolio. | Build and preview it free, without an account. Making it public needs the Artist plan. |
| Setting it up | Choose a theme, then build pages from image, text, video and contact-form modules. | Nothing to design. Add your name, one line about you and an About; every work you upload appears on it. |
| How many works | Not stated. Up to five sites with Behance Pro. | Up to 30 on Artist; as many as you like on Pro (£29 a month). |
| Your work in a room | Not built in: pages show the images you upload. | Every work hangs at its true size in a room, with a person in view for scale, plus a walk-through video in a gallery. Made for you, from the work’s size. |
| Details with each work | Not as fields: pages are free-form images and text. | Title, year, medium, size in cm and inches, framed size, signed, and Available or Sold. |
| Your own domain | Yes. Every site also has a myportfolio.com address. | No. Your website is at situ.art/en/yourname. |
| Selling | No store stated; a button module can link to one elsewhere. | No shop or checkout. Each work can be marked Available or Sold. |
| Contact | A contact form module. | Inquire on every work emails you, with your address kept private. Plus your link on every page: your own site, Instagram or email. |
| AI training crawlers | Not stated on its site. | Kept out, with nothing to switch on: AI training crawlers are told not to read your pages. Search engines still can. |
| Editing on a phone | “We do not support editing on mobile and tablet devices.” | Yes. All of it is edited in the browser, on a phone as on a computer. |
| Made for | Designers, photographers and illustrators on Creative Cloud. | Artists who want a site that looks like a gallery’s and keeps itself up to date. |

Where Adobe Portfolio is stronger
- No extra cost if you already pay for Lightroom or Creative Cloud.
- Your own domain, and up to five sites with Behance Pro.
- Adobe Fonts, and Lightroom albums placed straight onto your pages.
- Free-form pages for any kind of project.
Where Situ.art is stronger
- Nothing to design. Upload a photo of a work and its size, and it’s on your website. In Adobe Portfolio you build every page from modules.
- Every work in a room at its true size, beside a person for scale and in a walk-through video, made for you from the size you entered. Adobe Portfolio’s pages show the images you upload.
- The details buyers look for, in a gallery’s order: title, year, medium, size in cm and inches, framed size, signed, and Available or Sold.
- Edit all of it on your phone. Adobe doesn’t support editing Portfolio on phones or tablets.
- No Creative Cloud plan to keep up: £9 a month, with room mockups included.
- AI training crawlers are told to stay out of your pages, with nothing to switch on. Search engines still find you.
- Inquire on every work: a buyer’s message comes straight to your email, and your address stays private.
Which should you choose?
Choose Adobe Portfolio if you already pay for Lightroom or Creative Cloud and want free-form pages on your own domain. Choose Situ.art if you want every work shown in a room at its true size, with its details, on a site that builds itself and that you can edit from your phone.
Questions
- Can I use Adobe Portfolio without Creative Cloud?
- Not to publish: Adobe Portfolio has no plan of its own, and comes with Creative Cloud plans and Behance Pro. A Situ.art website comes with the Artist plan, which also makes your room mockups.
- Do I need photos of my work in rooms?
- No. Upload a straight photo of the work and its size, and Situ.art hangs it in a room at that size, beside a person for scale, and walks a camera past it in a gallery. The work itself is never changed.
- Can I use my own domain?
- Not yet. Your website is at situ.art/en/yourname. Put that link in your Instagram bio, your email signature or your own domain’s homepage.
- How much does a Situ.art website cost?
- £9 a month on the Artist plan, or £90 a year (£7.50 a month). The same plan makes your room mockups: 20 AI images and 2 AI videos a month, up to 30 works, and unlimited downloads. You can build and preview the website free first.
