Downloads Widget for Elementor Pro

A filterable list of files to download.

Overview

What Downloads does

Downloads lists your files as a list, grid, compact table or minimal links, with a category filter, search and sorting. A click can download the file, open it in a new tab, or open a popup with the file details or a saved template first. The widget prints normal links to your files. It does not protect files or count downloads.
