Frequently asked questions
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The file is read and processed by your own browser. Nothing is sent to us or to any third party, and the file is gone when you close the tab.
Does it work on phones and tablets?
Yes. The viewer works in mobile browsers; pinch or use the zoom buttons to read comfortably.
Why can't I select text in my PDF?
Scanned PDFs are images of pages and contain no text layer. They can be viewed and annotated but not copied.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
It is free to use and there is no sign-up. The site is supported by ads shown on the information pages, never inside your document.
