How to Send PDF File in WhatsApp from Phone and PC
There was a time when we used to send PDF files to someone via email, but everything has changed over time. Now, you can easily share PDF files with anyone through WhatsApp, which is an instant messaging app. If you don’t know how to do this, don’t worry.
In this article, I’ve explained step-by-step how you can send PDF files on WhatsApp from your PC, laptop, and phone. Whether you use WhatsApp on your mobile or computer, WhatsApp has a built-in document sharing feature that allows you to share PDF files with others.
Nowadays, almost everyone uses WhatsApp to share documents because it’s a globally recognized social platform. On WhatsApp, you can send not only PDF files but also videos, audio files, and photos as documents.
Normally, when you send photos and videos directly, their quality is significantly reduced, but when you send the same content in document format, it is received in the exact same resolution and file size without any reduction in quality.

FAQs
Q 1. Does sending a PDF on WhatsApp reduce quality?
Answer – No! Sending a PDF file on WhatsApp will not reduce its quality at all because you send the PDF as a document, not as a normal image like a PNG or JPG. WhatsApp’s document feature bypasses its media compression.
Q 2. Can I send a PDF in WhatsApp from laptop to mobile?
Answer – Yes! You can easily send PDF files from your laptop to your mobile, or from your mobile to your laptop, on WhatsApp without any issues. WhatsApp does not restrict this in any way.
Q 3. Can we send a PDF to WhatsApp channel?
Answer – No! Currently, there is no built-in option to share PDFs directly on WhatsApp channels. However, there is a workaround; You can upload your PDF file to Google Drive or any other cloud storage and then share the public link on the WhatsApp channel. Users will be able to access your PDF by opening the link.
