Drop the PDF below and you get a link that opens it in any browser. Unlike the other tools here, this one does upload the file — a link needs it to live somewhere.

Per file. Storage totals and prices are on the pricing page.
The PDF is uploaded exactly as it is and stored byte for byte — nothing converts it, so the fonts, spacing and images are the ones you exported. We build a plain viewer page around the file, and when someone opens the link their browser draws the pages. They need no account, no PDF app and no download; it works on a phone as well as a laptop.
The link ends in 32 random characters, so it can't be guessed, and the page carries a no-index tag, so it stays out of search results. That makes it private in the practical sense: the people you send it to can open it, and anyone they forward it to can too. When that isn't enough, a password on the link is the gate — that needs a free account.
Without an account the upload is capped at 3 MB and the link expires on its own after 7 days, with one live link at a time from the same network. A quick human-check from Cloudflare runs in the background and only asks you to do something if it isn't sure. If you sign in on the same browser within those 7 days, the link moves into your account, where you can put a password on it or keep it.
With an account the same upload takes a larger file, and the link becomes something you can manage: add or change a password, set an expiry, see how many times it has been opened, and replace the PDF with a corrected version while the link you already sent keeps working.
Drop the PDF into the box at the top of this page, or click it and choose the file. When the upload finishes you get a link you can copy straight away. Whoever opens it sees the PDF in their browser — no account, no app, nothing to download first.
No. Without an account you can upload a PDF up to 3 MB and get a link that lasts 7 days. A free account raises the file size, lets you put a password on the link, keeps one link on permanently, and gives you a dashboard to manage the rest.
A No-account upload takes a PDF up to 3 MB. The Free tier takes 10 MB per file, Solo takes 25 MB and Studio takes 50 MB. Photo-heavy documents exported for print grow quickly; exporting at screen resolution is usually enough for reading on a screen and much smaller.
Without an account, 7 days, and then it expires on its own. On a free account links also run for 7 days, and you can keep one of them on permanently. On a paid plan links stay up until you remove them, or until a date you choose.
Yes, with an account, including the free one. The password sits on the link: someone who has the URL still has to type it before any page loads, in their browser, with no PDF app. That is different from a password inside the PDF file itself — PDFs locked that way are refused at upload, because a browser viewer can't ask the reader for it.
Not by default. The link ends in 32 random characters and the page tells search engines not to index it, so it is reachable by the people who have the link. Signed-in accounts can switch a single document to searchable on purpose; nothing becomes findable without that switch.
Yes, with an account. Upload a corrected version onto the same document from your dashboard and the link you already sent opens the new file. Without an account the link can't be changed — but signing in on the same browser within 7 days moves it into your account, and from there you can.
Not right now. The viewer page doesn't allow other sites to frame it, so an embed won't load. Link to it from your page instead — a button or a plain link opens it in a new tab.
