File Downloads in Weebly

With Weebly, you can link to any content that you upload to your website and allow your visitors to download it. Pro and Business users have the option to embed a document, so it is directly visible on a page.

Link to a File for Download

You can create a file download on either a text element (with selected text) or on an image element. To do this:

1. Select the object on your page (text or image) to which you'd like to link the file.
2. Click the link button on the toolbar.
3. In the link dialog box, select File.
   • If you have not previously uploaded a file, or if you wish to upload a new one, click Upload New.
     

Once you have uploaded your file, it will be available to download from your published site. If you click on the link within the editor, you will be presented with the following popup, which will allow you to make changes to the link:
