What file types can I host?

PDF is the most common, but JPG, PNG and most office formats work too. Files up to 25 MB on Pro, 100 MB on Business.

Will it open in the phone's PDF viewer or a browser?

On iPhone it opens in Safari's PDF viewer; on Android it opens in Chrome's viewer or the default PDF app. No download required to view.

Can I require a name and email before they see the PDF?

Yes — on Pro and Business plans you can gate the PDF behind a lead-capture form for brochures, whitepapers and price lists.

How do I update the PDF without changing the QR?

Open the page in your dashboard, upload the new file — the QR keeps the same short URL, so the next scan serves the new version automatically.
