About us

Making digital publishing beautiful.

 

Issuu is the leading digital publishing platform delivering exceptional reading experiences of magazines, books, catalogs, reports, and more. In just a few seconds users can create beautiful digital editions simply by uploading their publications. It's our mission to empower individuals, companies, and institutions to publish their documents across all digital platforms.

Issuu is also a popular destination site visited by millions every month. It's a dynamic library where people are drawn to and engaged by great publications and where publishers find and build targeted audiences. Issuu is free to use though professional publishers opt for our Issuu Pro solution with enhanced customization.

Background
In the early 2000s a successful recipe for publishing in the digital era was yet to be found. The founders of Issuu set out to create a place where anyone freely could express themselves in a familiar format online. They found inspiration in the printed publication, the strongest and most user-friendly medium ever created and reengineered it for the web.

Issuu secured funding from Sunstone Capital in early 2007 and launched later that year. Issuu has so far raised $6.25 million in venture capital and is one of the fastest growing digital publishing companies in the world. Our offices are located in New York, London, Copenhagen, and Mumbai.

Today...
Each month we're used by over 6 million visitors and our network serves 500 million unique page views. Our members have published over 20 million pages.

We're trusted by Penguin Group, Google, World Bank Publications, Random House, Siemens, Routledge, Cambridge University Press, Edelman, Metro International, Guardian, The Telegraph, United Nations, and thousands of hip indie publishers and cool companies.
