Read.cv alternative

FAQ

Moving on from read.cv

What happened to read.cv?
Read.cv was acquired by Perplexity in early 2025 and the service was wound down shortly after. Its community of designers and makers — who used it as their canonical professional profile — had to find a new home.
Is Folioss a good read.cv alternative?
If you valued read.cv for its clean, professional profile focused on your work and career, Folioss offers the same spirit with more capability: your experience (as a timeline on the paid plans), real project showcases, a downloadable PDF resume, visit analytics and your own link — plus AI that builds the page from your existing resume.
How do I rebuild my read.cv profile on Folioss?
Create a free account and either upload your resume PDF (the AI rebuilds your career history in a few minutes) or add your experience, projects and links manually in the visual editor. Publish on folioss.com/@yourname and update the link on your social profiles.
Is it free?
Yes — the free plan lets you create and publish your profile forever, no credit card. Paid plans add a custom domain, advanced blocks and AI translation.
Can my profile stay minimal and clean?
Completely. A Folio is built from blocks: use only the ones you want — a bio, your experience (as a timeline on the paid plans), selected work, contact — with light or dark mode and your accent color. Minimal by choice, expandable when you need it.
