Embedding lets you display a single asset — an image, video, document, or audio file — directly inside an external site, app, or dashboard. The embed code is a live URL served from Collage's content delivery network (CDN), so there's no need to download the file and re-upload it elsewhere: copy the code, paste it into your target platform, and the asset appears live wherever you place it.
Why embed an asset
- Always current — the embed URL points at the asset itself, so replacing it with a new version keeps external placements up to date without swapping files or links. Uploading a new version can reset the embed code, so double-check the embed link after a major update.
- No re-uploading — one source of truth in Collage instead of exporting and hosting copies elsewhere.
- Fast delivery — assets are served from a CDN built for speed and scale.
Get the embed code
- Open the asset and choose Share.
- In the Share dialog, go to the Embed Code tab.
- Copy the embed code and paste it into your target platform.
The embed code is a direct URL to the asset on Collage's CDN — not an HTML snippet — so it can be dropped into any platform that accepts an embed link.
Note: Embedding is available on select plans. If you don't see the Embed Code tab, reach out to support@collage.inc.
Embed only single assets
Warning: Only single assets can be embedded. Folders and Collages cannot. If you need to share a group of assets externally, use a share link instead — see Creating share links.
An embed code and a share link solve different problems:
- Displaying an asset inside another website, app, email, or dashboard → embed code.
- Sending someone a page to view or download files → share link.
Manage your embeds
Every embed you create is tracked under the Embeds tab on the Sharing page, where each entry shows Title, Embed URL, Created Date, and Created By. Checking this list helps you keep track of where your assets are surfaced and confirm each embed still points to the right file.
