Frequently Asked Questions

Does the PDF get uploaded to a server?
No. The entire PDF is rendered using PDF.js entirely within your browser. The file never leaves your device.
Can I view password-protected PDFs?
If the PDF has a user password, you will be prompted to enter it. Owner-level restrictions on printing or copying are shown in the info strip.
How does the text search work?
The viewer extracts text from each rendered page and searches across all of them. Matches are highlighted in yellow, with the current match in orange, and you can navigate between them.
What PDF versions are supported?
PDF.js supports PDF 1.0 through PDF 2.0, including compressed object streams, Type 1, TrueType and OpenType fonts, JPEG2000, JBIG2, and most modern PDF features.
Can I extract all text from a PDF?
Yes — click the 📋 Extract Text button in the toolbar to open a modal with all text content from the document, which you can copy to your clipboard.

Free Online PDF Reader — View PDFs in Browser

Our free online PDF reader lets you view any PDF file directly in your browser without downloading additional software. Fast, private, and works on every device — just upload your PDF and start reading instantly.

💡 Navigate large documents

Use the page navigation controls to jump to specific page numbers in long PDFs without scrolling through everything.

💡 Zoom for readability

Increase zoom for small text or technical diagrams. Most PDFs render clearly up to 200% zoom.

💡 Works on mobile

Our PDF reader is fully optimized for smartphones and tablets. Pinch to zoom and swipe to navigate pages.

💡 No plugin required

Unlike older PDF viewers, no browser plugin or Adobe Reader installation is needed. It works in any modern browser.

Our online PDF reader is powered by PDF.js, the open-source PDF rendering engine developed by Mozilla and used in Firefox. It accurately renders text, fonts, vector graphics, embedded images, and form fields from any valid PDF file. Unlike downloading a PDF to your device and opening it in a local application, our browser-based reader loads the document directly in the page, making it ideal for quick reference, sharing previews, or reviewing documents on devices where PDF software is not installed.
