Question 1

What is SharePDF?

Accepted Answer

SharePDF helps you upload PDF, Word, and PowerPoint files, turn them into clean PDF links, and see simple view activity from your dashboard.

Question 2

What file types can I upload?

Accepted Answer

You can upload PDF, Word (.docx), and PowerPoint (.pptx) files. DOCX and PPTX files convert to PDF automatically before sharing, so viewers open a PDF link. Free supports files up to 10 MB. Pro supports up to 50 MB, and Max supports up to 200 MB.

Question 3

Do viewers need an account?

Accepted Answer

No. Anyone with your PDF link can open the document in their browser without creating a SharePDF account.

Question 4

Is there a free plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Free includes 5 active PDFs, files up to 10 MB, PDF links, QR codes, custom URLs, basic view activity, and download option control. No credit card is needed.

Question 5

Can I upload multiple files at once?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can add several PDF, Word, or PowerPoint files to the upload queue and follow their progress from one place.

Question 6

Can I organize PDFs into folders?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can organize uploaded documents into folders or collections so important files stay easier to find.

Question 7

How do I share a PDF?

Accepted Answer

Upload a PDF, DOCX, or PPTX file. SharePDF converts Word and PowerPoint files to PDF, gives you a clean link, and lets you send it by email, chat, social media, your website, or a QR code.

Question 8

Can I customize my PDF link?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can use a custom URL slug for each PDF, such as sharepdf.app/s/my-proposal.pdf. A custom domain is different: it lets Pro and Max users share links from their own domain.

Question 9

Can I track PDF views?

Accepted Answer

Yes. View activity is available on all plans. You can see useful signals like views, countries, referrer sources, and which documents are getting attention.

Question 10

How quickly do views show up?

Accepted Answer

Usually within a few minutes after someone opens your PDF. Refresh the dashboard to see the latest count.

Question 11

Can I make a QR code for a PDF?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every shared PDF includes a QR code you can download and use online or in printed materials.

Question 12

Can I replace a PDF without changing the link?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can replace the file behind a SharePDF link, so the same public URL and QR code can keep opening the updated document.

Question 13

Can I embed a PDF on my website?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can copy iframe embed code for a shared PDF and place the viewer inside a web page.

Question 14

Can viewers download my PDF?

Accepted Answer

You can show or hide the SharePDF download button for each PDF. Hiding it reduces easy downloads for most viewers, but it is not DRM and cannot stop screenshots or browser tools.

Question 15

Can I delete a PDF link?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can delete a PDF from your dashboard. After it is deleted, the public link will stop working.

Question 16

Who can see my uploaded PDFs?

Accepted Answer

You control visibility. Public PDFs can be discovered, unlisted PDFs open for people with the link, and private PDFs stay visible only inside your account.

Question 17

Can I password-protect a PDF?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pro and Max plans let you add a password so viewers must enter it before opening the PDF.

Question 18

Can a PDF link expire?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pro and Max plans let you set an expiry date so a PDF link stops working after the date you choose.

Question 19

Can I collect emails before someone opens a PDF?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pro and Max plans include email capture, so viewers can be asked to submit an email before selected PDFs open.

Question 20

Does SharePDF show ads on my PDFs?

Accepted Answer

No. PDF pages are kept clean, so viewers see your document instead of ads.

Question 21

Does SharePDF identify individual viewers?

Accepted Answer

SharePDF records view activity like views, countries, and referrers. It does not show viewer names. Email capture only identifies viewers who choose to submit their email.

Question 22

How much does SharePDF cost?

Accepted Answer

SharePDF has a free plan. Pro starts at $5/month, and Max starts at $12/month. Yearly plans include 2 months free.

Question 23

What do paid plans add?

Accepted Answer

Paid plans add more PDFs, larger file sizes, password-protected PDFs, expiring links, email capture, and custom domains.

Question 24

Can I use my own domain for PDF links?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pro and Max plans let you connect a custom domain or subdomain for branded PDF links.

Question 25

Can I cancel anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can cancel anytime. Your paid plan stays active until the end of the current billing period.

Question 26

Do you offer refunds?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Paid plans include a 7-day money-back guarantee.

Question 27

Can I switch plans?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can upgrade, downgrade, or switch billing intervals from your Billing page.
