{"product_id":"file-embed-elfsight","title":"File Embed","description":"\u003cp\u003eFile Embed from Elfsight lets you place documents on a Squarespace page so visitors can read them there, open them in a new browser tab or download them. It supports common formats including PDF, Word, Excel and PowerPoint, with around 20 formats listed by the vendor. This is an embeddable widget hosted on Elfsight's platform, not native Squarespace code. In Elfsight's editor, you can add files by uploading them, entering URLs or selecting recently uploaded files. You can choose a File Viewer, Grid or List layout, set file names, show or hide icons, and adjust the title, width, font sizes and six interface colours. Custom icons and preview pictures are also options.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho it suits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis widget suits Squarespace site owners who need to share documents such as presentations, spreadsheets, certificates or other reference materials on a page. The File Viewer layout is for reading documents on the page, while Grid and List layouts organise file names and icons. A free plan is available to start with.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOne honest caveat\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vendor describes inline reading in the File Viewer layout. Grid and List show file names and icons, with icons that can be clicked to open or download files, so choose the layout that suits how visitors need to use the documents. Elfsight's free tier carries its branding and monthly view limits; paid plans remove those limits and branding. The widget stops showing if your Elfsight account lapses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuild and configure the widget in Elfsight's online editor, then copy its embed code. In Squarespace, add a Code Block where you want the files to appear and paste in the code. Later changes made in the Elfsight editor update automatically on the page, so you do not need to replace the embed code for each edit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelated guide:\u003c\/strong\u003e browse more \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.squarelocator.com\/collections\/squarespace-utility-developer-plugins\"\u003eSquarespace utility and developer plugins\u003c\/a\u003e, or the full \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.squarelocator.com\/collections\/plugins\"\u003eSquarespace plugins hub\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elfsight","offers":[{"title":"Neutral","offer_id":66220515230045,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1043\/9275\/3501\/files\/file-embed-hero-image.webp?v=1792059444","url":"https:\/\/www.squarelocator.com\/products\/file-embed-elfsight","provider":"SquareLocator","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
