Best Framer Portfolio Templates for Designers (2026)
Nine Framer portfolio templates built for designers and creatives — free and paid, no code required.
If you're a designer, your portfolio is the work. It's the thing that decides whether a studio emails you back or a founder books the call. A good template fixes the part that was never the point: you're paid for the work that goes inside the site, not for fighting a layout at 1am. Below are nine Framer portfolio templates built specifically for designers and creatives — structured to adapt fast and launch the same afternoon.
A Framer portfolio template is a pre-built, fully customizable website for showcasing creative work, built on the Framer platform. You remix it, add your own projects, and publish — without writing code.

TD_Tomas (free, Swiss-style) is a clean editorial starting point, TD_Alexfolio suits bold, high-impact work, TD_Cherfolio handles a large body of projects, and TD_Senri, TD_Maxfolio, TD_Zarafolio and TD_Joeyfolio are free options in different styles.

What to Look for in a Designer's Portfolio Template
Three things separate a portfolio template that works from one that just looks good in the preview:
Project structure that holds real work. CMS-powered case studies, not just a grid of thumbnails. A single project should feel considered.
A point of view. Editorial type, real contrast, motion that earns its place. A neutral template makes neutral work look more neutral.
Speed to launch. You should go live the same afternoon, not budget a weekend.
Every template here is built in Framer. You remix it, drop in your projects, and publish — no code, no plugins. Free options are marked.
TD_Tomas
Swiss-Style Portfolio Template (Free)
A Swiss-style portfolio built on a strict grid, generous space, and type that does the heavy lifting. Minimal at its core, bold where it matters.

The strongest free starting point in the collection, and the newest. Best for: designers and photographers who want a clean, editorial base. Free.
