Your library lives in your browser's storage, so it keeps files up to 25 MB. Larger documents read just the same — they simply aren't saved after you close them.
PDFcove is free and private. If it helps you, you can support its development.
My library
Documents you open will appear here so you can pick up where you left off. Stored privately on this device only.
Built for long reads
PDFcove is made for the documents you actually sit with — textbooks, research papers, ebooks, reports, and manuals. It remembers where you left off, shows your reading progress, and offers a focus mode that quiets everything except the page in front of you.
Reads like a book
Flip pages with a swipe or scroll continuously — whatever feels right for the document. Choose a sepia or dark theme for long sessions, turn on distraction-free focus mode, and mark the passages that matter with highlights and notes you can export anytime.
Listen when your eyes are tired
Switch to read-aloud and let PDFcove narrate the document with adjustable voice and speed. Perfect for chapters you want to get through on a walk, a commute, or after a long screen day.
Who it's for
Students working through textbooks, researchers annotating papers, self-learners reading ebooks cover to cover, and anyone who simply reads a lot and wants a calmer place to do it.
Private by design
Your files never leave your device. PDFcove opens every document locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and your reading is never tracked. Highlights, notes, and progress are saved in your browser's storage on this device.
