Magento Product Attachment

The Product Attachment extension for Magento allows admin to attach downloadable files to products directly from the admin panel and manage them with flexible configuration options. With this module, you can add document files, images, or other important product-related files and control how they appear on the product page.

The admin can configure display settings, set the block title, choose where attachments will appear (product tab, below Add to Cart, or both), manage customer group visibility, and assign icons to specific file types.
