Frequently asked questions
What the product does, what it costs, and, the part most tools skip, what it genuinely cannot do for you.
The short version: you upload a file or a set of files, we host them, and you get one clean address to share plus a QR code. Whoever you send it to opens it in their browser with no account, no app and no download. You can see when it was opened, replace the file behind the link without the address changing, and on Pro add a password, an expiry date, a custom name and view-only mode.
If your question is really “will this work for my situation?”, the use-case pages answer that job by job — each one includes a section on where we are the wrong tool. Plans and prices are on the pricing page, and longer walkthroughs are on the blog.
Files, albums and formats
The core of the product is small: you upload, we host, and you get one address to share. Several files at once become one album link, and each file inside it also gets a link of its own. Free covers 20 links, 100 MB of storage and 3 albums; the caps and what happens at each of them are the questions below.
Drop several photos or files at once and Link in Seconds bundles them into one album link (linkinseconds.com/b/…) that shows every file in a clean viewer, and you also get a private link for each individual photo. It happens automatically; there's nothing extra to set up.
Opening, sharing and QR codes
Nobody you share with ever needs an account, an app or a download, that is the whole point, and it is what makes a link work for a relative, a recruiter or a diner at a table. Every link also carries a QR code you can print.
No. Anyone you send the link to opens it in any browser, phone or desktop, with no app and no sign-in. You only sign in to create and manage your own albums.
Privacy, tracking and control
Links are unlisted rather than secret: not indexed and not guessable, but openable by anyone who has the URL. The Pro controls, password, expiry, view-only, disable, are how you narrow that, and we are deliberate about saying what they do not cover. A password stops a forwarded link; it cannot stop a screenshot.
Links are public by default, anyone with the link can open the file. On Pro you can add a password, set an expiry date, make a link view-only, or disable it anytime.
Resumes, portfolios and other jobs
Most people arrive with one specific task. These are the common ones, and each has a page of its own with the workflow, the numbers and the honest limits written out in full.
Yes. You can upload your resume PDF and share it as a public link with recruiters, clients, or hiring managers.
