How it works

Upload a PDF and view it directly in your browser — page by page, with zoom controls. The file is rendered entirely on your device using the pdf.js library and is never uploaded anywhere.

Good to know

Works with any standard PDF, including scanned documents.
Use the zoom controls to read small text more comfortably.
Very large files (several hundred MB) may render slowly on phones or older computers.

Frequently asked questions

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. The PDF is rendered entirely in your browser using pdf.js — it's never sent anywhere.

Can I edit the PDF here?

This is a read-only viewer. For editing, try the PDF Editor tool.

Does it support password-protected PDFs?

Not directly — unlock it first with Unlock PDF if you know the password.
