# How to Add PDF to Shopify Product Page? (No App Required)

### How to Add a PDF to a Product Page on Shopify

Need to provide your customers with additional resources like a size chart, user guide, or installation manual? Adding a PDF to your product page is a quick and effective way to deliver helpful information and improve customer trust. Follow the steps below to set it up:

**Why Add a PDF to Your Shopify Product Page?**

There are several reasons why adding a PDF can be helpful:

* Provide detailed user manuals or instructions
* Share size charts in a clear, printable format
* Offer downloadable product catalogs for offline browsing
* Include training materials or extra resources

Shopify allows you to upload PDF files under **Content > Files**, then generate a direct link to the file. You can use this link to add a **"Download PDF"** button or text link directly on your product page.

**Step 1: Upload Your PDF File**

1. In your Shopify admin, go to **Content > Files**.

1. Click **Upload files** and select your PDF.
2. Once uploaded, copy the file URL, you’ll use it to link the PDF on your product page

**Step 2: Open the Product You Want to Edit**

2. Select the product where you want to include the PDF download link

Step 3: Add the PDF Link to the Product Description

1. In the product editor, click the `</>` icon in the **Description** section to switch to the HTML text mode.

2. Now, add the following code snippet in the source code where you want to add “Download PDF” button:

```
<a class="button" href="your-pdf-url-here">Download PDF</a>
```

In the above code, replace the `your-pdf-url-here` with the actual URL of the PDF that you copied earlier.

Once you’re done with the above steps, check the product page to see if the PDF has been added. Here’s what it looks like in our example:
