What is a FlipBook and what can I use it for?
A flipbook is an interactive online HTML5 publication that has the appearance of a real publication with page-turning (including page-turning sound effects, page shadows, and more). Flipbooks are currently used to replace traditional digital PDFs and paper-based documents such as reports, presentations, magazines, catalogs, brochures, books, and more. A digital flipbook looks and feels just like a printed publication with pages that can be turned – without the printing costs!
Flipbooks also have many interactive features: the ability to add YouTube videos, lead capture forms, news banners and advertisements, images and links, SEO optimization, design customization, integrated statistics, embedding, and more.
Typical Customers, Industries, and Examples:
- a photographer showcasing their portfolio
- an auto parts company with its parts catalog / spare parts catalog
- a spa with its service and price brochure
- a restaurant with its digital menu
- a company with its annual business report or employee handbook
- a real estate agent sharing their property brochure
- a hotel with its activity brochure
- a non-profit organization with its information brochure
- Marketing and advertising agencies
… the possibilities are endless.
Magazines & Ebooks
Flipbooks are used for publishing online magazines and e-books because they „feel real“ on all screens and devices and are clear and sharp. Flipbooks are easy to edit and distribute. They are used for fashion and lifestyle magazines, cookbooks, children’s books, admission books, trade journals, etc.
Catalogs & Brochures
Flipbooks are also used in e-commerce for digital product catalogs and brochures. These flipbooks can be easily sent to potential customers via a simple, clickable link. This opens the publication instantly (flipbooks have no upload or download time). The digital brochures, accessible on all devices, are used by companies to create cost-effective and engaging marketing results that can promote their business to a larger audience. Browse our catalog and brochure examples for more inspiration.
Reports
Flipbooks for business and financial reports are the ultimate solution for companies, as they offer a simple and engaging way to keep key stakeholders informed. In addition, the privacy and security features of flipbooks are suitable for protecting confidential information.
Digital Menu Cards
Digital menu flipbooks offer customers realistic, appetizing, and interactive experiences with your food. Statistics show that people are over 50% more likely to visit your restaurant and choose improved dining options when presented with an appealing digital menu. Digital menus also allow restaurants to advertise themselves outside of business hours and reach potential customers. Finally, connecting the menu to Google Analytics provides insight into your customers‘ demographics and purchasing behavior.
Real Estate
Flipbooks can transform buying and selling guides, real estate fact sheets, and branding materials for real estate agents into SEO-optimized online publications. You can easily improve your ranking on Google when searchers look for agents and increase your overall reach by sending your brand materials via a link. Flipbooks display seamlessly, have excellent image resolution, and allow for interactive integration of videos and links to enhance every property feature.
What is the difference between a PDF and a FlipBook, the page-turning function?
A PDF file is a file that is protected from editing and formatted to always have its original layout. PDFs only allow time-consuming scrolling through the document and text search. They are also difficult for search engines like Google to index.
On the other hand, a flipbook is a digital publication formatted to look like a real publication with a page-turning effect, a shadow in the middle, and even a page-turning sound. It is responsive and available on all devices, which makes navigation significantly easier for the user compared to a PDF document. In addition, internal links to other pages of the flipbook can be inserted to facilitate navigation and improve the user experience.
What makes a FlipBook – PDF for flipping – better than a PDF file
There are several reasons why an online flipbook with a flipping function is better than a PDF file:
- First, unlike PDF documents, where a user has to download the document before they can view it, online flipbooks can be viewed instantly online.
- Second, online flipbooks have numerous insightful statistics and analytics on performance – PDFs do not.
- Third, if there is an error in your online flipbook, you can simply use the overwrite function, which immediately updates the original link you shared for the new file. With a PDF, you have to make the changes, save the PDF, re-upload it to the website, or resend the attachment.
- Finally, online flipbooks offer the possibility to add numerous interactive features: videos, hyperlinks, pop-ups, advertising banners, and more.

Realistic 3D Flipbook
Based on a realistic 3D model library and powerful 2D CSS3 transformation, you get the best possible flipbooks in a single plugin. The plugin uses modern WebGL technology to power the WordPress flipbook. Along with WebGL, THREE.js is used to provide a better experience when using the 3D flipbook on the website.
Smart CSS Flipbook Fallback
You can start with 3D and the plugin will handle the fallback if some browsers don’t support 3D and use 2D flipbook. 2D flipbook is a fully functional CSS flipbook that offers all features except the 3D experience. The CSS flip effects are best suited for 3D flipbooks and work without WebGL. You get all PDF links and outlines without restrictions. CSS flipbook is recommended if your WordPress flipbook contains fine or too much text, as it is better suited for sharper text.
Easy-to-use Options and Configuration
The dFlip Flipbook WordPress Plugin offers many features that are easy to use, detailed, and categorized. You can configure most settings for automatic/global use. These will then be used in all flipbooks unless you want the settings to be different in individual WordPress flipbook posts.
