Guides

View a PDF right in your browser — no upload, no signup, no page limit. Navigate pages, zoom in or out, and rotate a page that was scanned sideways.

How to use it

  1. Upload the PDF you want to read.
  2. Use the ◀ / ▶ buttons, or type a page number directly, to move through the document.
  3. Use + / − to zoom in or out.
  4. Use the rotate button if a page is sideways or upside down.

How it works

Everything happens locally: the PDF is decoded and rendered with pdf.js directly in your browser tab. Your file is never uploaded anywhere — close the tab and it's gone.

Tips

  • Large or image-heavy PDFs render a little slower at high zoom — zoom back out if a page feels sluggish.
  • Need the text out instead of just a view? Try PDF to TXT.
  • Need an AI summary instead of reading the whole thing? Try PDF Summarizer.
  • Password-protected PDF? Remove the password first with Unlock PDF, then open it here.

Is my file uploaded anywhere?

No. This tool runs entirely client-side — your PDF is read and rendered in your browser and never sent to a server.

Is there a page limit?

No — unlike some online viewers that cap free previews at a handful of pages or nudge you toward an account, PDF Reader opens the whole document, for free, every time.
