Flipa — PDF Flipbook
Flipa converts a PDF into an interactive flipbook that renders entirely in the visitor’s browser — your file is never sent to a third-party server.
Highlights
- Full right-to-left support — proper Hebrew & Arabic reading order, mirrored controls, correct cover behaviour.
- 20-language interface — incl. English, Hebrew, Arabic, Persian, Spanish, French, German, Russian, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Turkish, Ukrainian, Czech, Swedish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi.
- Lightweight & fast — no heavy 3D dependency; works on phones and tablets (two-row mobile toolbar).
- Unlimited flipbooks — manage many; embed each with
[flipa id="123"], a block, or a widget. - Double-spread & single-page views, realistic fold shadow.
- Thumbnails, seek bar, zoom, fullscreen, deep-linking.
- Share (shares the page the book is embedded on).
- Lightbox mode — open the book in a popup.
- Inline (seamless, auto-height) embedding by default, or a fixed iframe.
- Pro: table of contents with grouped sections, page-flip sounds, password gate, custom background image, clickable PDF links (internal page-jumps + web/email links), QR code in Share, page-stack depth, vertical scroll reading mode, 3D tilt, and a bookshelf grid.
Works with
- Block editor (Gutenberg) — the Flipa Flipbook block.
- Classic editor — an Add Flipbook button.
- Plain shortcode anywhere:
[flipa id="123"]. - Pro: Elementor / Elementor Pro & WPBakery widgets, WooCommerce product pages, and the
[flipa_shelf]library grid.
Free vs Pro
The free plugin gives you unlimited flipbooks, the full core viewer (single/double page, drag-to-flip, zoom, seek bar + thumbnails), 20 interface languages with full right-to-left support (Hebrew, Arabic, Persian), background colour, inline & iframe embedding, lightbox, and the shortcode, block and Classic-editor integrations. An optional “Powered by flipa” credit is available and is off by default — it appears only if you turn it on.
