What’s new in Real3D Flipbook PRO 5.6
Version 5.6 · Sep 30, 2026
Latest
- NewHard cover option (WebGL tab) - hardbound look, front and back cover are rigid and larger than the pages; "Hard cover size" sets how much larger
- ImprovedHard cover - the covers are now thick boards with a cloth texture, a hinge groove and a spine, in a colour of your choice (new "Hard cover color" setting); the pages inside keep their size
- ImprovedThe Hard cover settings moved from the WebGL tab to the General tab, and a flipbook with Hard cover enabled always uses the WebGL view mode
- ImprovedThe page shading at the spine is no longer the same on every spread - it follows how many pages lie on each side (WebGL view mode)
- ImprovedFewer blank pages while flipping, in the WebGL, 3D, 2D and Swipe view modes - the next pages are prepared in advance at a smaller size, the visible pages are sharpened once the book rests, and a full-resolution render no longer holds up a page turn
- ImprovedFaster rendering on large and high-resolution screens - a page renders at 2000 px at most, and the full 4000 px is loaded only when you zoom in beyond that
- ImprovedA flipbook in a closed lightbox no longer keeps loading pages
- FixedImage flipbook in a lightbox (WebGL view mode) - after closing and reopening the lightbox a page could stay on the loading spinner until the site was reloaded
What it does
A plain PDF link asks visitors to leave the page or open a separate file, and a stack of images rarely feels like a publication. This plugin takes those same PDFs and images and presents them as a flipbook that readers page through in the browser. You set it up from an admin panel in WordPress, choose how the book should look and behave, and place it on your site. Readers can turn pages with a mouse or by swiping on a touchscreen.
The plugin offers several view modes, including WebGL, 3D, 2D and Swipe, plus single-page, double-page and thumbnail navigation. A hard cover option gives the book rigid, thicker covers with a cloth texture, a hinge groove and a spine in a color you pick. You can adjust backgrounds, colors, controls and the toolbar to match your branding, add videos, audio and links to pages, and give readers bookmarks and search. Multi-language and RTL support help when your audience reads in different languages.
Best for
- Publishers sharing digital magazines and eBooks
- Businesses presenting brochures and product catalogs
- Designers and photographers displaying portfolios

Questions about Real3D Flipbook PRO

Can I add video or links inside a flipbook?
You can. The plugin supports embedded multimedia such as videos and audio, along with interactive links, so pages in your publication can play media or point readers to other content.

Yes. You can customize backgrounds, colors, controls and toolbar features, choose a view mode, and turn on a hard cover with a cover color of your choice to give the book a printed, hardbound feel.
