View a PDF online — free
Open and read any PDF with smooth zoom, rotation and page navigation. PDFEzy's viewer runs in your browser, so the file you open is never uploaded anywhere.
How to view a PDF in 3 steps
Open your PDF
Click Select PDF file or drag and drop the file you want to view into the box above.
Zoom & navigate
Page through the document, zoom in or out and rotate pages as you read.
Read privately
Your file stays on your device the whole time — nothing is ever uploaded.
A private PDF reader in your browser
Sometimes you just need to open a PDF and read it — without installing Adobe Reader or signing into a cloud service. PDFEzy's free view PDF tool turns any browser into a clean, fast PDF reader. Open the file and it renders instantly, ready to read with controls for zooming, rotating pages and jumping to any part of the document.
Because the viewer runs entirely on your device, there's no software to download and nothing to set up. It works the same on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS, so you can open and read PDFs anywhere from the same link. And since your file is never uploaded, even confidential documents stay completely private while you read them.
Need to do more than read? Open the file in Edit PDF to mark it up and annotate, or run a scanned document through OCR PDF to make its text selectable and searchable.
Why view PDFs in your browser?
- Private by design: the file is opened locally and never leaves your computer or phone.
- No software needed: read any PDF instantly without installing or signing up for anything.
- Works on any device: the responsive viewer reads well on desktops, phones and tablets alike.
