Document ReaderOnline PDF reader
Open and read PDF files online for free: search, zoom, bookmarks, night mode and read aloud. No upload, no account. The PDF stays on your device.
Free. No account. The file stays on your device.
Read any PDF right in your browser: continuous scrolling, pinch and wheel zoom, text search, a table of contents, bookmarks and a reading position that is remembered for next time. Password-protected PDFs open after you type the password.
Unlike most "online" PDF viewers, nothing is uploaded. The file is read by your browser and kept in its own storage, so it works offline and your document is never sent to a server.
How it works
- Tap Open a PDF and choose the file (or drag it onto the page on a desktop).
- Scroll, zoom, search with the magnifier, or jump to a chapter from the contents panel.
- Use the menu for night mode, read aloud, bookmarks, page thumbnails, sharing and printing.
