Introducing Issuu Stories for today’s content creators and brands.
We’re taking the digital publishing experience to the next level. Introducing Issuu Stories –– a new free feature to publish, read, and share individual articles from inside publications on Issuu. Issuu users – both brands and individual creators – now have access to a streamlined workflow tool for breaking out publications and highlighting pages you choose, displayed in sequential order or thematically as they’re created. Stories on large screens have the same format as your publications. On small screens, Stories are optimized for a scrolling mobile view. You can easily feature specific pages from your publication, broken out in as many Stories as you like, and share them on your favorite social platforms in a new eye-catching format.
Issuu Stories gives users the ability to easily integrate their content on social to deliver beautiful spreads and slick scrolls, as well as GIFs generated on Issuu. Digital content can be shared on Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, and Reddit.
Publishers can get started with Issuu Stories from your Publisher Homepage. Just click SOCIAL TOOLS, then SHARE STORIES. From there, you can build out your Stories to be optimized for sharing on mobile. To learn more about how to create and share Stories, check out our Help Center article.
Issuu Stories enables you to more easily power your Instagram Stories, Snapchat, Twitter feeds and more. We’ve designed Stories to be flexible assets that will look as good on social media as they will on Issuu. With mobile-optimized Stories, we made sure that you can deliver content to your audience, wherever they live online, on any device — with beautiful spreads for big screens, and slick scrolls for mobile screens.
