What is a Digital Flipbook?

A digital flipbook is an interactive ebook that looks just like a printed publication, but contains a flipbook animation where the pages flip and turn. Save paper and distribution costs while giving readers a more engaging experience than they would have with a static PDF. Create flipbooks in a few easy steps with Issuu’s flipbook maker, then share them with direct links or generate QR codes within the platform. 

Issuu Flipbooks offer built-in Statistics to better understand your audience, interactive shoppable links and embedded videos to boost engagement, and additional formats like Articles, Social Posts and GIFs to share on every channel. Upload a PDF or import files directly from Dropbox or Google Drive to create your flipbook.
