FAQ
How do I convert a PDF to a URL?
Upload the PDF using the box at the top of this page. OneClickLive hosts it on Cloudflare's edge and returns a public HTTPS URL in under 2 seconds — no signup, no PDF-to-image conversion, the file stays a real PDF.
Will the link open in any browser?
Yes. Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, and mobile browsers all render PDFs inline using their built-in viewer. Users can scroll, search, and print directly from the link without downloading.
What's the file size limit?
25MB per PDF on the free plan — enough for most reports, ebooks, invoices, and slide decks. Pro plans extend this to 100MB per file for longer documents or scanned originals.
Can I update the PDF without changing the link?
Yes. Sign in to your dashboard, replace the file, and the URL keeps working. Anyone who already has the link sees the new version on next open — useful for living documents like price lists or terms.
How long does the PDF stay online?
Free plan: 7 days. Pro plan: permanent until you delete it. The free retention is enough for client previews and short-term sharing; Pro is for documents you publish.
Is the PDF private?
Files are encrypted at rest on Cloudflare R2 in the EU/US. The URL is public but the slug is random and effectively impossible to guess. Pro plans add password protection for confidential PDFs.
Why use this instead of Google Drive or Dropbox?
Drive and Dropbox links route through a preview page that often asks for sign-in, blocks on corporate networks, or forces a download on mobile. OneClickLive serves the PDF as a direct, single-purpose URL — no friction, no account funnel.
