About PDF hosting links
Sometimes you don't need a QR code - you just need a link to a PDF you can paste into an email, WhatsApp message, Slack thread, or social post. This tool uploads the file and gives you a short link you can share anywhere.
The link is permanent for as long as it's being used. No expiry, no watermark, no account required. If you'd rather encode the same file as a QR code (for posters, business cards, signage), use the PDF to QR code tool instead.
For larger files, password-protected sharing, or links you can update without changing the URL, sign up for a free Hovercode account.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between this and PDF to QR code?
Same upload, different output. This tool gives you a clickable link; the PDF to QR tool gives you a scannable image. Use the link for anywhere people can click; use the QR for anywhere they can't.
How long does the link last?
Indefinitely, as long as it keeps getting visited. There's no expiry on active links.
Why is there a 2 MB limit?
It's a free hosted tool - keeping a low cap means it stays fast and free. For larger files, sign up for a free Hovercode account.
Can I update or delete the file later?
Not via the free tool - uploaded files are anonymous. With a Hovercode account, files belong to you and you can update or remove them anytime.
Is the link safe to share publicly?
Yes - but anyone with the link can view the file. There's no password protection on the free version. If you need access controls, use a Hovercode account.
