Host a PDF Online with a Permanent Link — Free

Upload a PDF to Clowd and get a permanent shareable link that never expires. Update the PDF anytime — the link stays the same. No login required to view. Free forever.

PDFs are everywhere — resumes, menus, proposals, brochures, reports, guides. But sharing them is still broken. You email an attachment, the client asks for the latest version three weeks later, and you’re digging through your sent folder.

Clowd gives you a permanent link for any PDF. Upload once, share the link. When the PDF changes, upload the new version — the link stays the same. No resending, no confusion about which version is current.


Why Not Just Use Google Drive or Dropbox?

MethodThe Problem
Email attachmentCan’t update after sending; 25 MB limit; no analytics
Google DriveSometimes requires sign-in; exposes folder structure; link can break
DropboxLink changes if you rename or move the file
WeTransferExpires after 7 days

Clowd: permanent link, never expires, no login to view, updates in place.


What You Can Host

Any PDF that needs a shareable, permanent link:

  • Resume / CV — share on LinkedIn, in email signatures, on business cards
  • Portfolio — case studies, lookbooks, design presentations
  • Proposals — client proposals that you update as the project evolves
  • Menus — restaurant or hotel menus with a QR code that never changes
  • Brochures — product or service brochures for print and digital
  • Reports — recurring reports that update on a schedule
  • Guides — documentation, onboarding guides, how-to documents
  • Contracts — share a template with a permanent link

How It Works

1. Upload your PDF

Drag and drop your PDF into Clowd. It’s live on a permanent link in seconds.

Share the link anywhere — email, LinkedIn, QR code, printed materials. Viewers open the PDF directly in their browser. No account required.

3. Update without resending

When the PDF changes, upload the new version to the same Clowd delivery. The link you’ve already shared stays exactly the same — and now shows the updated PDF.


QR Code for Any PDF

Clowd generates a QR code for every delivery. Print it on menus, brochures, business cards, or signage. When the PDF changes, the QR code still works — no reprinting needed.


Know When Someone Opens Your PDF

Clowd shows you when your PDF link was opened and when the file was downloaded. Useful for:

  • Knowing if a recruiter opened your resume before an interview
  • Confirming a client received and opened your proposal
  • Tracking which brochure links are getting engagement

Custom Domain — Free

Your PDF lives at docs.yourcompany.com or resume.yourname.com — your brand, not a generic hosting URL. Custom domains are included on the free plan.


Free — No Credit Card Required

Free forever — 5 file deliveries (more than enough for a resume, menu, and a few documents), 1 custom domain, 250 MB storage.
