Frequently asked questions
Is this PDF viewer free?
Yes, completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark, and no limit on how many PDFs you can open.
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. The PDF is rendered locally in your browser and is never uploaded; it stays on your device, so even confidential documents remain private. The only time it leaves your machine is if you choose to host it with Publish.
Is there a file size limit, and what about large PDFs?
There is no fixed limit. Because the rendering runs locally, the practical ceiling is your device’s memory. Most PDFs open instantly, and very large or image-heavy files still work, they just take a moment longer per page and use more memory.
Do scripts inside a PDF run in this viewer?
No. The viewer draws each page to a canvas and does not execute any JavaScript or other active content embedded in the PDF, so opening a document here cannot run code on your machine. You see the pages exactly as designed, without the risk.
Can I read a password-protected PDF?
If a PDF is encrypted, you will be prompted for its password before the pages render; the password is used only in your browser to unlock the file locally and is never sent anywhere. Documents with no password open straight away.
How do I host or share the PDF?
Click Publish and the original PDF goes live at its own HTTPS link in seconds, ready to read in any browser. It is a quick way to send a report, invoice, or brochure without an email attachment, with no server or build step.
