Use cases
Turn a PDF you already have into something readers tap, explore, and act on. A few popular ways to use it:
Free:
- Digital magazines and newsletters – publish each issue as a real page-turning read with a contents list, search, and shareable links to any page.
- Restaurant and cafe menus – put your menu online as a book that looks right on phones. Swap the PDF and it updates everywhere.
- Course materials and workbooks – give students textbooks and handouts they can read, search, and flip through on any device.
- Portfolios and lookbooks – photographers, designers, and studios show their work as a clean flip-through instead of a plain download.
- Annual reports and company profiles – turn a long report into an easy, on-brand reading experience.
- Travel guides and brochures – let visitors browse your destination guide like a printed booklet.
With Pro:
- Shoppable catalogs – add clickable spots to any product in your catalog so a shopper taps an item and goes straight to the product page or their cart. Your print catalog starts selling.
- Real estate brochures – mark rooms, units, or plots right on the page, and let buyers tap for details or send an inquiry without leaving the flipbook.
- Lead magnets and gated guides – offer a free guide, lookbook, or whitepaper and ask for an email before the reader unlocks it, so every download grows your list.
- Sell ebooks and premium PDFs – lock a FlipBook behind a WooCommerce product so only buyers can read it. Great for ebooks, reports, back issues, and course packs.

The bundled third-party libraries are also included unminified, in assets/lib/:
