Turn your Webflow PDFs into leads.
Put an email gate on any brochure, price list or white paper. The link doesn't change, consent is never pre-ticked, and you see who downloaded what. Every file is still served from a fast CDN, with permanent URLs that survive plan changes and site handovers.
Free plan for file hosting, no credit card. Lead capture from Starter at $9/mo.

How It Works
Three steps. Same link.
The buttons and links already on your Webflow site keep working. The file just asks who’s downloading it first.
-
Turn on “Require email”
Pick a brochure, price list or white paper you host with DocBeam and switch the gate on for that one document, in the Webflow Designer or your dashboard. No code, no form embed.
-
The visitor leaves an email
The same link now asks for an email (and, if they like, a name and company) and a consent box that is never pre-ticked. Then the file downloads.
-
You see who downloaded it
Each lead shows up against the document it came from. Export a CSV whenever you like, and get a daily summary email.
Why DocBeam
A gate that doesn’t break your site.
A gated download usually means a form embed, a new landing page and a round of re-linking. DocBeam gates the file itself.
The link stays the same
Gating happens at the file’s existing DocBeam address. Nothing to re-link, and nothing on your Webflow pages needs to change.
No code, no form embed
There is no script to paste and no form builder to wire up. It’s a switch on the document, and you can turn it off again the same way.
Consent is never assumed
The consent box names your site and is never pre-ticked. The visitor ticks it, or the file does not download.
Asked once, not every time
A visitor who comes back to the same file, in the same browser, is not asked again for 30 days.
Hosting
Behind every gate, hosting that holds up.
The link a lead clicks is a DocBeam link: served from a fast CDN, permanent, and yours. That is what lets the gate sit on the link you already have.
One URL. It stays put.
Every file gets a permanent CDN URL the moment you upload. It doesn’t change when you switch plans, when a client moves or hands over their Webflow site, or when you put a gate on it.
Replace Files, Keep Every Link
Upload a new version of this year’s price list and every existing link serves it within minutes. No find-and-replace, no broken downloads.
Bigger Than Webflow Allows
Webflow caps document uploads at 10 MB. DocBeam takes files up to 50 MB on Free and 2 GB on Unlimited Sites, uploaded from a panel inside the Designer.
Fast Downloads, Everywhere
Every file is stored on Cloudflare R2 and served from 300+ edge locations. No egress fees. No bandwidth limits.
Your Files Belong to You
Webflow displays your files. DocBeam holds them. Cancel a Webflow plan tomorrow and every URL you’ve published still resolves. Why file ownership matters.
Keep Old Versions, Just in Case
Paid plans keep previous versions of a file: Starter keeps 2, Pro keeps 5, Unlimited Sites keeps 10. Roll back if something goes wrong.
See What’s Getting Downloaded
Pro and Unlimited Sites plans include download analytics — total downloads, top referrers, and geographic breakdown.
Bandwidth
Downloads that never count against your Webflow bandwidth.
Webflow meters every byte it serves — images, fonts, scripts, and the PDFs people actually download. Host your files in DocBeam and they never hit that meter.
On Webflow, every download counts
Webflow meters every byte its CDN delivers — and in the May 2026 update, the Premium allowance dropped from 100 GB to 50 GB. Go over for two months running and Webflow auto-upgrades your plan and bills you for it.
One 5 MB brochure
× 500 downloads
= 2.5 GB off your Webflow limit
On DocBeam, none of them do
DocBeam stores every file on Cloudflare R2 and serves it from its own global CDN — on files.yoursite.com, not Webflow. Downloads bypass Webflow entirely, so your hosting bandwidth stays untouched no matter how many times a file is downloaded.
Any file
× unlimited downloads
= 0 GB off your Webflow limit

Pricing
Lead capture on every paid plan.
Lead capture starts on Starter. Free is file hosting only, with no email gate. Each paid plan includes a monthly lead allowance, and going over it never drops a lead: it is still captured, and you see an upgrade prompt.
Free, Starter and Pro are priced per site, so each Webflow site is its own DocBeam Library. Unlimited Sites is a single account-wide subscription that covers every site on your account.
