Share PDF Online Free: Host and Share PDFs with Links and QR Codes
Free PDF hosting is useful when you need fast delivery and controlled access without sending large attachments.
What You Get
- Upload PDF and share by link.
- QR code for mobile-first distribution.
- Optional controls: view limits, expiry, download restriction.
- Open statistics to support follow-up.
4-Step Workflow
- Upload one PDF for one clear audience.
- Set policy (views, expiry, optional download restriction).
- Generate link and QR.
- Share and review open statistics.
Recommended Settings by Scenario
| Scenario | View limit | Expiry | Download |
|---|---|---|---|
| Client review | Medium | 7-30 days | Optional |
| Proposal sharing | Low-medium | 3-14 days | Usually off |
| Internal docs | Medium-high | 30-90 days | Optional |
| Event handout | High | 1-14 days | Optional |
Comparison Mindset
- Public cloud links: broad compatibility, weaker policy control.
- Controlled-sharing platforms: stronger lifecycle control and easier revocation.
Common Mistakes
- Sharing before setting expiry.
- Reusing one link for unrelated audiences.
- Leaving temporary links active for too long.
Bottom Line
Free PDF hosting works best when distribution speed is paired with clear access policy and link lifecycle management.
