Embedding a file on your own site

An embed link points at the file itself rather than at a download page, so a browser on somebody else's website can load it directly. It is what you want for a logo on a landing page, an image in a newsletter, or an asset your developer needs a stable URL for.

Embeds are on Pro, Max and Business. That is not an arbitrary gate: an embed is created with no expiry, and a link with no expiry is itself a paid-plan setting.

Making one#

1. 1

   Select exactly one file

   No folders, and no multi-select. An embed points at a single file by design.

2. 2

   Press Share, then the Embed tab

   At the top of the share panel, beside Share.

3. 3

   Press Create embed

   You get a URL of the form nemilab.com/embed/<link id>/<file id>. Copy it.

<img src="https://nemilab.com/embed/your-link-id/your-file-id" alt="Studio logo">

The URL is just a URL: it works in an <img> tag, as a CSS background, in a <video> source, or anywhere else a web page can reference a file. Nemi answers it with the file itself and allows any site to load it, so you do not have to list your domains anywhere.

What an embed will not serve#

• Executables and scripts are refused outright, whatever the link says. That includes .exe, .dmg, .apk, .sh, .bat, .jar and their relatives.
• A file that our virus scan has flagged, or has not finished checking, is not served either. A brand new upload can therefore take a moment before its embed works.
• Requests are rate limited per visitor, so one page hammering the URL is throttled rather than billed to you.

Managing embeds#

They live in their own tab in the link manager (⌘⇧L), separate from ordinary share links, and each card shows how many copies have been served. Deleting an embed stops it everywhere at once, which will leave a gap on any page still using it, so search your site before you delete.
