View-Only File Sharing & Document Protection

The standard way of sharing files—sending a download link—is a transfer of ownership. Once they have the file, you have no control. View-only file sharing keeps the 'source of truth' on your servers and only sends the pixels needed to view the work.

This is essential for the early stages of client work, pitch decks, and any situation where you need to share information without giving away the asset itself. It maintains your leverage and professional boundaries.

LinkVault uses a custom-built secure viewer that renders documents directly in the browser. We disable standard browser features like right-click saving and 'Save Page As'. We also use multiple layers of protection to deter printing and automated scraping.

Combined with dynamic watermarking, this creates a high-friction environment for anyone trying to redistribute your work without permission.

Use view-only mode whenever the 'view' is the goal, not the 'handover'. It is the perfect setting for proposals, portfolios, contract drafts, and IP-sensitive designs. By making viewing the default, you professionalize your delivery and protect your hard work.
