# How to Add a PDF to Squarespace?

Sep 24

Written By Beyondspace

## Option 1: Upload a PDF as a File Link

- Open your Squarespace site editor and navigate to the page you want the PDF on.
- Add a **Text Block**, **Button Block** ou  **Image Block** where you want the PDF link.
- Highlight the text or select the button, then click the **Lien**  icon.
- In the link editor, select **File** under the link type.
- Upload your PDF file or select one from your existing uploads.
- Save and apply the changes.

Visitors can click the link or button to download or open the PDF in a new tab, depending on their browser.

## Option 2: Embed a PDF Using Lightbox Studio for an Enhanced Experience

Besides linking PDF files directly, you can use **Lightbox Studio's PDF Lightbox** feature to create an inline popup viewer that displays PDFs within a lightbox overlay on your Squarespace site.

- Upload your PDF file to Squarespace as in Option 1.
- Create a text or button link to your PDF file, but make sure the **“Open link in new tab”** option is ***unchecked***.
- When clicked, Lightbox Studio automatically intercepts the link and opens the PDF in a stylish, responsive lightbox window with zoom, navigation, and optional download controls.
- This method keeps visitors on your site while browsing PDFs and offers better control over the viewing experience.

## Option 3: Embed a PDF Using Third-Party Services (like Issuu or Google Drive):

- Upload your PDF to a service like Issuu or Google Drive that provides embed code.
- Copy the iframe embed code.
- In Squarespace, add a **Bloc de code**  where you want the PDF displayed.
- Paste the embed code and save.

This method displays the PDF inline on your page as an embedded document.

## Important Notes

- Squarespace limits file uploads to 20MB per file.
- Regular PDF links open in new tabs or prompt downloads based on browser behavior.
- Lightbox Studio handles the viewer presentation responsively on desktop and mobile.
- The PDF Lightbox feature requires installation of the Lightbox Studio  plugin from Beyondspace.
