How to trigger a file download when clicking an HTML button?

To trigger a file download on a button click we will use a custom function or HTML 5 download attribute. The download attribute simply uses an anchor tag to prepare the location of the file that needs to be downloaded.

How do I make a link automatically download a file in HTML?

Simply add the word “download” after the href URL before closing the tag. For example, if I want people to download the print icon below I would link it in my HTML-formatted email or on my webpage/intranet using the script following it.
