How to upload a PDF

  • Open the toKindle app or Chrome extension.
  • Click the Upload button.
  • Select the PDF or file you want to send.
  • Hit Send.

What happens next

  • Your file is delivered to your Kindle device, just like an article.
  • Delivery usually takes a few minutes.

Supported file types

  • Free: PDF only, up to 3 MB per file.
  • Premium: PDF, EPUB, DOCX or MOBI, up to 10 MB per file.

Every upload counts as one of your daily sends, so on the free tier you get 2 a day. See the Premium guide for the full comparison.
