Why use this instead of my OS's PDF viewer?

When you receive a PDF link or open one quickly, it's faster to drop it here than save-then-open. Plus the viewer respects your OS dark mode.

Can I share the file with the viewer?

No — the file stays in your browser, not on a server. To share with someone else, send them the original file directly.

Does it support large PDFs?

Yes, up to ~500 MB depending on your browser RAM. pdf.js streams pages as you scroll.

What features are included?

Page navigation, zoom, search, text selection, copy. Bookmarks/outline if the PDF has them.
