Download link

A link to a file. The format and size are part of the link text, so people know what they are getting before they tap, and screen readers say it with the title.

Rules

• Format in capitals, then size, in brackets at the end: (PDF, 2.4 MB). Round sizes to one decimal.
• Say the size, because many people pay per megabyte. If you do not know it, find out; "unknown" is not acceptable on a government site.
• Prefer an HTML page to a PDF. A PDF is for something people need to print or keep: a form, a signed document, a long report.
• Add download to the link only for files that should save rather than open, like forms to fill in.
• The icon is drawn in CSS and carries no meaning; the words do.
