View-only PDF links

Share a PDF without the download

Upload a PDF and share a view-only link. Readers can open it in the browser, but the download and open buttons are hidden — a simple deterrent for documents you'd rather not hand out as a file.

Beta · free while in early access. Only upload files you have the right to share. Public links can be opened by anyone with the URL. Executable and unsafe file types are blocked.

View-only with one toggle

Choose View-only when you upload and your link hides the download and open buttons, serving the PDF inline so it can't be grabbed in a click.

A deterrent, not DRM

Anyone who can see a document can screenshot it. View-only stops casual downloading — it doesn't make a file impossible to copy, and we're upfront about that.

Know when it's opened

Every view-only link still tracks views, so you can tell when someone actually opened your document.
