Updated on 6 October 2026
There are two ways to share a file in Elium.
Add the file to an article
-
Create or edit an article.
-
Add a "File" block from the panel on the left.
-
Drag and drop the file onto the block, or click the link in the block to upload it.
Readers can preview the file or download it. Elium shows a preview of the most common formats, such as PDF, Word, Excel and PowerPoint files, and images. Every file can be downloaded in its original format.
Turn a file into an article
To create an article from the content of a PDF or Markdown file, click "Create", then "From file". Elium creates a draft from the file. To learn more, read Import files.
