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.
