How to Add the File Viewer to HTML

Adding files to your HTML website with Elfsight only takes a few minutes. Just follow these simple steps:

  1. Select a template: Open the Elfsight editor and pick the template that best fits your content.
  2. Upload and customize your files: Add your files directly in the editor (PDFs, DOCs, PPTs, etc.). Then choose how they’ll appear – adjust the layout, colors, background, and download options.
  3. Generate the embed code: Once you’re happy with the design, click “Add to website for free.” Elfsight will create a unique code snippet for your widget automatically.
  4. Embed on your HTML page: Copy the generated code and paste it into your HTML file where you want the viewer to appear. You can place it inside a specific <div> or directly in the page body.

Optional: If you’d like the file viewer to be visible on all pages, insert the code into your website’s global footer section, just before the closing </body> tag.

That’s it – your file is now live and fully interactive.
