Our widgets come with templates for different use cases. These templates are basically pre-configured widgets designed for specific purposes. Choose the one that fits your needs best.

Already Have an Account

Log in to your Elfsight Dashboard and go to the Catalog tab. Select the app you need (e.g., Instagram Feed) to open its editor. Choose a template and click Continue with this template:

Customize and Install

Inside the editor, you can upload your content (where required), adjust the design, and fine‑tune settings. Any changes you make will instantly appear in the preview.

Feeling a bit stuck with settings? Our Help Center has detailed guides for most widgets.

Once you're happy with the look of your widget, click Add to website for free (if new to Elfsight) or Publish (if you're logged in):

If you started without an account, you’ll be prompted to create one after clicking Add to website for free. For a quick reference, see Creating an Elfsight account.

Finally, follow our Installation Tutorials by Platform (CMS) to embed the widget on your site. And if you run into any difficulties, our team will be happy to install the widget for you at no cost! Just request installation, and we'll take care of the setup.

All set! Your widget is live, installed, and ready to delight your visitors.👏
