How to present documents in fullscreen mode?

When you're presenting a deck live or reviewing a document with a client, the browser chrome, sidebar, and toolbar get in the way. Fullscreen mode hides everything except the document itself so you (and your viewers) can focus on the content.

Fullscreen mode is available on every plan and works for both you and the people you share links with.

What fullscreen mode does

In fullscreen:

• The document fills the entire screen
• The Papermark sidebar, navigation, and browser chrome are hidden
• Page navigation still works through keyboard arrows and on-screen buttons
• You can exit at any time with the Escape key or the close button

It works for any document type that's previewable in Papermark, including PDFs, PowerPoint, Keynote, images, and Notion pages.

Step-by-step: enter fullscreen

Option 1: from the document viewer

1. Open the document or data room link.
2. Click the fullscreen icon in the top-right corner of the viewer.

Option 2: keyboard shortcut

Press F on your keyboard while viewing a document to toggle fullscreen instantly.

Option 3: exit fullscreen

• Press Escape to exit
• Press F again to toggle off
• Click the close icon in the top-right

Try fullscreen mode

Keyboard shortcuts in fullscreen

While in fullscreen, you can navigate the document without leaving the keyboard:

Key	Action
F	Toggle fullscreen
Escape	Exit fullscreen
Right arrow	Next page or slide
Left arrow	Previous page or slide
Space	Next page or slide
Home	Jump to first page
End	Jump to last page

Use cases

• Live presentations: present a pitch deck to investors from your laptop without sharing slides through an external tool.
• Client meetings: review a contract or proposal with a client in real time, with no Papermark sidebar in view.
• Focused review: a clean reading environment when you're working through a long document.
• Sales demos: walk a prospect through a product spec without browser distractions.
• Investor share-outs: send a link with viewer-fullscreen capability so each investor reads the deck distraction-free.

Tips for live presentations

• Test before the meeting. Make sure fullscreen works on the projector or external display you'll be using.
• Use keyboard arrows. They're faster than reaching for the mouse during a presentation.
• Combine with presentation-friendly file types. Keynote and PowerPoint preserve animations and transitions in Papermark.
• Disable downloads if needed. Combine fullscreen with disabled downloads and disabled printing for high-stakes presentations.
