Good to know
This viewer draws the PDF inside your browser and lays a text layer over each page, so you can select and copy text, search for words, and follow links and table-of-contents jumps. If you spot something to change, the More menu takes the same file straight to other tools such as Edit PDF, PDF to Word or Compress PDF.
Scanned PDFs have no text layer, so search and copy don't work on them; run the pages through Image to Text (OCR) first. A PDF with an open password needs to be unlocked with Unlock PDF before it can be viewed. Printing sends each page as a high-resolution picture, so it comes out the same as on screen in any browser.
Questions and answers
Can I view a PDF without installing anything?
Yes. Drop the PDF on this page and it opens in Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox or Samsung Internet, with no install or sign-up.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. On phones the page list is tucked away and you scroll through the pages with your finger. Choose "Fit width" in the zoom menu for the largest text.
Can I search for a word?
Type it in the search box and press Enter; matches are highlighted and pressing Enter again moves to the next one. Scanned PDFs have no text to search.
Can I print from here?
Click the print button in the toolbar. The pages are prepared first and then the print dialog opens, which can take a moment for very long files.
Is my file uploaded?
No. The PDF is opened inside your browser and is never sent to this site's server.
