Create a PDF Link
Generate a link to share your PDF in seconds. Drop the file, get a short link, and anyone who opens it reads your PDF right in their browser. Free, no attachments, no downloads needed.
Drop your PDF to create a link
Your link is ready in seconds and opens in any browser
Turn any PDF into a link you can share
A PDF link is a web address that opens your PDF straight in the browser. Instead of attaching a file, you send a link — and anyone who clicks it can read, search, print or download the document, on any device.
This free tool generates a link to share your PDF in seconds. Drop the file in, choose a short address, and it's online at your-name.99helpers.site. No file-sharing account for your readers, no "request access", no app to install.
And because it's a link rather than a file, you stay in control: replace the PDF whenever it changes, see how many people opened it, and take it offline whenever you want.
How to create a PDF link in 3 steps
1. Drop your PDF
Drag your PDF onto the box at the top of this page, or click it to pick one from your computer or phone.
2. Choose your link
Type a name and you get a short, readable address: your-name.99helpers.site. We check straight away that it's free.
3. Share it anywhere
Copy the link and paste it into an email, a chat, a social post or your bio. Anyone who clicks it sees your PDF.
Your PDF opens in a proper reader
People who click your link don't get a file dumped in their downloads folder. They get the document, ready to read, in a clean online PDF reader.
Zoom in and out, jump between pages with thumbnails, search the text, print it, or download the original — on a phone as easily as on a laptop.
Everything you need to share a PDF online
A free PDF link generator, backed by real file and web hosting.
Opens in a real PDF reader
No download needed: the PDF opens right in the browser, with zoom, page thumbnails, search, print and download built in.
A link you choose
Not a long string of random characters — a clean address like annual-report.99helpers.site that people can read, remember and trust.
Update the PDF, keep the link
Fixed a typo? Upload the new PDF to the same address. Everyone with the link sees the latest version, and older versions are kept.
Works on every device
iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac and Chromebook — in any modern browser. No app to install, no account to open it.
Easy to view, easy to save
Readers can flip through it online, print it, or download the original PDF with one click.
Password protection
Keep a PDF private with a password on Starter and Pro, so only the people you choose can open it.
A QR code for your PDF
Print a QR code with your logo on menus, flyers, posters and business cards, and one scan opens the PDF (Starter and Pro).
See who opened it
Find out how many people viewed and downloaded your PDF, and where they came from — the full history on Starter and Pro.
Your own domain
Put your PDF on your own domain, like docs.yourbrand.com, with HTTPS set up for you (Starter and Pro).
Why share a PDF as a link, not an attachment
Attachments get stuck. Big PDFs bounce off email size limits, get flagged by filters, or disappear in a downloads folder. And the moment you change the document, everyone has the wrong version.
A link fixes all of that. It's tiny, so it fits in any message. It opens instantly in the browser. And it always shows the current PDF — update the file once and every link you've ever sent is up to date.
What people share as a PDF link
Restaurant menus
Put the menu online as a PDF link, print a QR code for the tables, and update prices without reprinting anything.
CVs and portfolios
Send recruiters a tidy link to your CV instead of an attachment that gets lost in their inbox.
Reports and proposals
Share a report or a proposal with clients and colleagues as one link that always points to the latest version.
Brochures and catalogues
Large product catalogues and brochures that are too big to email open straight from a link.
Course material and handouts
Teachers and trainers can give everyone the same link to the handout, slides or reading list.
Event programmes and flyers
Link the programme from a poster or a ticket, and change the schedule without sending a new file.

PDF links: questions
