About this tool
A fast, clean PDF viewer that works on any computer or phone. Pages load as you scroll, so even large books and scanned files open quickly. Search for any word, jump with thumbnails or the table of contents, zoom with Ctrl + mouse wheel and switch on night mode for reading in the dark.
Your file is opened on your own device and is never uploaded. With Premium, the Pixel Path PDF Windows app opens PDFs straight from File Explorer in this reader.
