From PDF to a link in under a minute
Works the same for a CV, a cover letter or a portfolio.
-
Step 1
Upload your resume
A PDF keeps your layout exactly. Word files open in the browser too (Free).
-
Step 2
Copy the link
Paste it into an application form, a Google Form, a LinkedIn message or your email signature.
-
Step 3
See when it is opened
An email on every open, with the time on each page.
Where to use your resume link
- Application forms that ask for a "resume link" or a portfolio URL.
- Google Forms: paste the link into the answer box when a form asks for your resume and has no upload button.
- LinkedIn messages to a recruiter or a hiring manager, where an attachment is easy to miss.
- Email instead of a large attachment, or next to it.
- A printed resume: add a resume QR code that opens your portfolio or the latest version.
- Your email signature or profile, so the newest version is always one click away.
If a job portal asks you to upload the file, upload it there as asked: applicant tracking systems read the uploaded file. Use the link in your message to the recruiter as well.

Tips for a resume link that gets read
- Name the link after yourself. Set the link name to something like maya-torres-resume, so it looks tidy in a form.
- Keep the email check off when you send it to someone new. A recruiter should not have to type a code; you still see each open, the time on each page and the country.
- One link per company. Upload the same resume again for each application to see which company opened it. The free plan covers 3 links.
- Update instead of resending. Replace the file at the same link when you add a job or fix a typo. Readers see a small note that it was updated.
- Follow up when it is read. An open, and time on the experience page, is a good moment for a short follow-up message.
FAQ
Resume link questions
How do I create a link for my resume?
Upload your resume PDF at the top of this page, confirm your email with the 6-digit code, and copy the link. It opens in any browser, on any phone or computer.
How do I share my resume as a link in a Google Form?
Copy your FileSeen link and paste it into the form's answer box. Anyone who opens the link sees your resume, with no Google account or access request.
Will I know if a recruiter opened my resume?
Yes. You get an email when the link is opened, and the stats page shows the time on each page and the country. A name shows only if the reader confirmed an email.
Can I update my resume without sending a new link?
Yes. Replace the file in the link settings and the same link opens the new version.
Should I attach my resume or send a link?
Do what the application asks. If it wants an upload, upload the file. In emails and messages, a link avoids attachment limits and lets you see when it is read.
Can the recruiter download my resume?
PDFs open view-only by default. Turn downloads on in the link settings if recruiters should be able to save a copy, which most expect.
Is it free?
Yes. The free plan has every feature on 3 links, with no time limit. Deleting a link does not free a slot.
