Share PDF links via email, Facebook, WhatsApp, and more

Emailing PDF attachments runs into size limits, lacks tracking, and offers zero control after delivery. Cloud storage links often require recipients to create accounts. MaiPDF solves both problems: upload any PDF (up to 100 MB), get a unique shareable link with a matching QR code, and maintain full control over who can view, how many times, and for how long — with real-time analytics on every view.

Features

Everything Your PDF Link Includes

Instant Link Generation

Upload completes in seconds and your unique shareable URL is ready immediately. No processing delays, no waiting queues.

QR Code Included

Every link comes with a matching QR code. Print it on posters, business cards, or packaging for instant mobile access to your PDF.

Password Protection

Require a password before anyone can view your document. Only people with the correct password gain access.

View Limits

Set a maximum number of views. Once the limit is reached, the link automatically deactivates — perfect for limited-distribution documents.

Expiration Dates

Set your link to expire after a specific date. Time-sensitive proposals, offers, and contracts stay accessible only when you want them to.

Watermark Protection

Overlay your name, company logo, or custom text on every page. Watermarks discourage screenshots and unauthorized redistribution.

Real-Time Analytics

Track view count, timestamps, viewer locations, and devices used. Know exactly who opened your document and when.

Telegram Alerts

Get instant Telegram notifications every time someone opens your PDF link. Stay informed in real time without checking dashboards.
