What it does
Plain PDF links send visitors away from your page or ask them to open a separate file, which can feel clunky for publications meant to be browsed. This plugin takes an existing PDF and displays it as a flipbook inside your WordPress site, with page-turning animations that mimic a physical book. You do not need to reformat or convert the file first, and the interface is built so people without coding skills can set up a flipbook.
Once a flipbook is created, you can embed it on any page or post, and you can place several different flipbooks across your site. Readers can zoom in for closer reading, search for keywords inside the publication, and flip pages with touch and swipe gestures on phones and tablets. The layout is responsive, so it adapts to desktops and smaller screens. You can also adjust controls, navigation buttons and themes to match your brand, and share flipbooks on social media or through direct links.
Best for
- Publishers sharing digital magazines and eBooks
- Businesses presenting brochures and product catalogs
- Agencies building content-rich client sites with PDF publications
