  • Easier to read with an updated, clean page layout, crystal-clear text and vibrant images.

  • More prominent and tailored suggestions to help you discover great new content.

  • Superb on any screen size and from any browser because it’s all built in

    HTML5

    .

  • Twice as fast and no more Flash plugin problems — again, thanks HTML5.

Note that we decided to share the new issuu with you now rather than later, even though it means temporarily disabling old features like searching inside a publication and reader Clips. Learn more here.

Crafted With Love

We went through months of research, testing and coding (and coffee!) to craft improvements that will really matter to our publishers and readers. From crystal-clear, vibrant text and images, to an updated page flip animation to mobile-responsive embeds, these thoughtful details will make you feel at ease when you read and engage in the new and improved issuu.There’s so much more in the new issuu, we thought we’d make our own magazine to share it all with you. Meta alert: This publication about the new issuu experience is embedded below using the new interface.

Make the Most of #newissuu

Whether you’re a publisher or reader, you’ll automatically see the new experience today on issuu.com. In the next week or so, issuu publications embedded on other sites, blogs and social channels will also automatically roll over to the new experience.

For publishers, this is a great time to share your issuu publications with your audience and publishing peers and drive more reads and engagement. Try embedding your publications on your site, or sharing them on Twitter or Facebook, tagged with #newissuu.
