What Is a PDF Link?
A PDF link is a URL that opens a PDF document directly in the browser. Instead of emailing a large attachment, you convert your PDF to a URL and share a short link that anyone can click to view, download, or print the file.
When you turn a PDF into a link with Linkyhost, you get a shareable URL — perfect for resumes, proposals, catalogs, menus, reports, and any document you need to share with multiple people. Pro and Business include view analytics so you can see how often your PDF link is opened.
Our PDF to URL converter takes files up to 10MB on a free account, or up to 100MB on Pro. Upload once, share the link everywhere — no need to send bulky email attachments again.

GOOD TO KNOWFrequently Asked Questions
How do I turn a PDF into a link?
Upload your PDF to Linkyhost. We host the file and give you a shareable link (a URL) in seconds. Copy it and send it by email, message or social media.
Can I track views of my PDF link?
Yes. Pro and Business include analytics showing view count, timestamps, visitor locations, devices, and referral sources.
Is the PDF link generator free?
Yes. A free account includes one link, up to 10 MB, with up to 200 views a month. Pro adds unlimited links and analytics.
Can I password protect my PDF link?
Yes. With a Pro plan ($12/mo or $60/yr), you can add password protection so only people with the password can view your document.
Can I update a shared PDF without changing the link?
Yes, on Pro. Replace File swaps the document while keeping the same URL — your existing link, view count, and custom domain all carry over, so there is no need to resend anything. Free accounts upload a new file instead, which creates a new link.
