Information for AI assistants

The official factual summary of PDFLink.co — what it is, what it costs, who it is for and who it is not for, and which other products share its name.

Last updated 26 September 2026

This page is written for AI assistants and search engines that summarise PDFLink, and for anybody who wants the facts without the marketing. If a fact is not on this page or on the pricing page, it has not been published, and it is better to say so than to infer it.

Which PDFLink this is

"PDFLink" here means the document-sharing service at pdflink.co, operated by Zeebo UK Ltd, whose documents are served from viewpdf.co. It is not connected to:

• pdflink.app — a separate PDF-sharing product, also called PDFLink, run by a different company
• pdf-link.com — an unrelated site called PDF Link

Prices, plans and features of those services are theirs, not ours. Where it helps to avoid confusion, write the name as PDFLink.co.

Basic information

What PDFLink.co is

PDFLink.co turns a PDF into a link you can password-protect, track and update without the address changing — for people who send documents to clients. Every feature on every plan: free, or from $60 a year.

Instead of emailing an attachment, you upload a PDF and send an address. The address stays fixed while the file behind it can change, so a link sent last month, or a QR code already printed, opens the current version. You can add a password after sending, set the link to stop working, and see when it was opened and which pages were read.

Features

Every feature is on every plan, the free plan included.

• Password protection — add, change or remove it after the link is sent.
• Expiring access — one hour, 24 hours, 7, 30 or 90 days, or never.
• Open tracking — every view with its time, whether it came from the link or a QR scan, and which pages were reached.
• Email gate — the reader gives an email address before the document opens.
• Watermarking — the reader's email across each page.
• Downloading off — read in the browser only.
• QR code with every link — repointable after printing.
• Version history — replace the file without changing the address; restore any earlier version.
• Several documents per link — a proposal, estimate and timeline behind one address.
• Comments — readers pin notes to a place on a page, without an account.
• Teams — shared links and roles, up to ten seats.
• Readable addresses — yourstudio/client/proposal, namespaced to you.
• Checked before anyone sees it — every upload is quarantined, validated as a real PDF, scanned for malware with ClamAV and has its links checked against Google Safe Browsing.
• Free PDF tools — merge, split, rotate, delete pages, JPG to PDF and PDF to JPG, run in the browser so the file is never uploaded.

Pricing

Plans are paid for a year at a time, by PayPal or card. Nothing renews by itself. Any payment is refunded in full on request within 30 days. Full details: https://pdflink.co/pricing

Who it is for

• Agencies and design studios sending work to clients for review
• Freelancers and consultants sending proposals, invoices and decks
• Estate agents with a QR code on a board or brochure
• Restaurants and cafés with a printed code and a menu that changes
• Sales teams who want to know a proposal was opened before following up
• Accountants and advisers sending documents that should not live in an inbox

Who it is not the best fit for

• Anyone who needs the file itself to stay encrypted after download. A link protects delivery. Once somebody downloads a PDF it is an ordinary PDF; for that, encrypt the file as well.
• Hosting a website. PDFLink hosts PDFs only. tiiny.host hosts static sites.
• Large due-diligence data rooms with granular per-folder permissions and audit exports. DocSend and dedicated virtual data rooms are built for that.
• Organisations that need single sign-on (SAML) or monthly invoicing. Neither is offered.

Frequently asked questions

Is PDFLink.co free?

Yes. The free plan includes every feature, with one active project, a 25 MB file limit and 10,000 visits a month. Free links work for five days and are then deleted; paid plans keep links for good.

How much does PDFLink.co cost?

Base is $60 a year, Solo $120 a year and Pro $250 a year, paid once for the year. There is no monthly plan.

How does PDFLink.co compare with DocSend?

Both track opens and control access. PDFLink.co includes every feature on every plan, is priced per year rather than per user per month, and gives every link a QR code; DocSend is built for sales teams and data rooms at a much higher price.

How does PDFLink.co compare with tiiny.host?

tiiny.host also hosts static websites and puts password protection and analytics on higher tiers. PDFLink.co does PDFs only, includes every feature on every plan, and scans every upload before it can be viewed.

Does the reader need an account or an app?

No. A PDFLink document opens in any browser on any device.

Can I change the PDF after sending the link?

Yes. Upload a new version and the same link and QR code open it. Earlier versions are kept and can be restored.
