A brilliant user experience, just a few clicks away. Let Issuu turn your PDF into a dynamic digital flipbook ready for your digital audience. Make it interactive by easily adding embedded videos, product links, and more.
What is a Digital Flipbook?
A digital flipbook is an ebook with a similar look and feel to a printed publication, without the printing costs! Save paper and shelf space while giving your readers a more engaging and interactive experience than they would have in a typical static document.
Digital flipbooks have flippable and turnable pages just like printed books, but digital flipbooks give you statistics on who is reading your publications, allow you to boost interactivity with links and video content, and help you reach a global audience at the click of a button.
How to Make a Digital Flipbook:
To make a flipbook, you’ll want to start with a PDF or .doc file. View our template gallery to get some ideas, or you can download our free flipbook templates to customize with your content and visual assets.
Upload your flipbook to Issuu as a PDF (you can also upload a .doc, .docx, .ppt file types, or import your files directly from Dropbox or Google Drive). If your design started as an InDesign file or Canva template, you can easily export those files as PDFs, and then upload them to Issuu. Our flipbook maker does all the hard work, turning that PDF into a dynamic, page-turning asset in seconds - presto flipbook!
Make your flipbook interactive by adding shopping links, a table of contents with navigation to specific pages, and even embedded videos right on the page. Links and videos provide that extra level of detail, bringing added professionalism and a dynamic feel.
Now that our flipbook creator has worked its magic, how about creating a seamless mobile-first experience using Article Stories? Pull stories from anywhere in your flipbook, and easily turn them into their own mobile-optimized articles by creating Article Stories.
Looking for that interactive experience on your own homepage? Embed the flipbook directly on your website so your audience can easily find and read your content right at the source.
