Turn your PDF into a flipbook, for free

A flipbook reads like a printed document, page after page, straight in the browser. Here is how to make one from your file, exactly what the free version allows, and where it stops.

The short answer

Drop your PDF on the home page. You get a link to share within minutes, with no account and no credit card. That preview stays online for 3 days.

With a free account, the Discovery plan hosts the publication for up to 3 months, within 40 pages and 25 MB, hotspots included.

For a link that does not switch off, the Solo plan costs $59, paid once for that publication, up to 120 pages.

How it works

  • Drop the fileOn the home page, drag in your PDF. Nothing to install, and no account asked for the trial.
  • Let the conversion runEach PDF page becomes a web page. The text is not flattened into an image: it stays selectable, searchable, and readable by a screen reader.
  • Share the linkA link, a QR code from Solo onwards, or an embed code for your own site. Your reader installs nothing and downloads nothing.

What you get

  • Page by page flipping, on desktop and on phone.
  • Full text search across the whole document.
  • A clickable table of contents.
  • Hotspots (links, videos, images), available on every plan, Discovery included.
  • Email addresses and phone numbers detected automatically and made clickable.
  • A text version of every publication, for screen readers and for Google.
  • Reading statistics with no cookie, and without keeping your readers' IP addresses.

What the free version does not do

  • The no-account preview lasts 3 days, and the Discovery plan up to 3 months. A permanent link means moving to Solo.
  • A free publication carries the Denkimedia badge. Your own logo and colours start at Solo.
  • 40 pages and 25 MB at most on Discovery, against 120 pages and 75 MB on Solo.
  • A temporary link is not indexed by Google: only publications with a permanent link go into the sitemap.
  • Access codes and QR codes start at Solo; product sheets start at Pro.
