# Viewer embedding

> Placing the PhotoRobot Viewer on a product page, as an iframe or with the JavaScript SDK.

Also known as: viewer embed. Category: Software.

Embedding puts a hosted viewer into another website. The PhotoRobot Viewer can be embedded as an iframe (simple, isolated from page styles) or through the JavaScript SDK (smaller payload, inherits page styling).

## How PhotoRobot uses it

The choice depends on the customer's engineering depth. Covered in module [B21, Viewer Layouts & Embedding](https://www.photorobot.com/academy/curriculum#b21-viewer-layouts) and the [viewer layouts manual](https://www.photorobot.com/manuals/photorobot-viewer-layouts-and-configurations).
