When you’re looking for a flipbook creator, all the tools may seem the same and it can be challenging to choose the right one.

The Top Reasons Why Businesses Use FlippingBook vs. Flipsnack

 

Reason 1: We Think About Your Reader for You  

FlippingBook team is all about providing an excellent reading experience. We know that the reader’s comfort is everything when you want to create a memorable first impression, grab your readers’ attention right from the start, and gain loyal clients.

Our flipbooks are specially designed for showing content at its best on any device, be it desktop, smartphone or tablet. You can be sure that your readers will fall in love with the perfect combination of beauty and comfort of your flipbooks—the smooth way a flipbook is loading, its realistic page flip effect, and clean modern design. They will enjoy how convenient to read your flipbooks are and will always prefer them to any other formats. We know, we’ve checked. :)

Quality in your flipbook

 

  • Perfect vector text quality on any screen—from a smartphone to a 4K display.
  • High-quality, realistic page flip effect, authentic page shadows, and book thickness give your readers the feeling of reading a real book.
  • Crystal-clear images on any high-pixel density or retina display.
  • Select text option that allows your clients to copy any text they need from your flipbook.

 

  • Text as an image that can lose quality if you zoom in on it.
  • Nice and simple page flip effect and page shadows without book thickness.

Interactivity on any page

 

  • Embed YouTube, Vimeo, or Wistia videos anywhere on the page of your flipbook.
  • Add pop-up image galleries or inline images to your ready PDF to enhance your viewers’ experience.
  • Make your flipbook more engaging by adding GIF-animation.
  • Add interactive forms, quizzes, and surveys across the pages of your flipbooks to gather valuable insights or know your audience better.
  • Add links to the products on the pages of your catalog to make it easier for your clients to shop right away.

 

  • Add YouTube, Vimeo, or self-hosted videos on any page of your flipbook.
  • Choose from stock images or upload your own when creating a flipbook from scratch in the design studio.
  • Add GIF-animation to your ready PDF or when designing your flipbook in Flipsnack.
  • Add iframe embeds with virtual tours, maps, or surveys (only available in the Enterprise plan)
  • Promote products in flipbooks by adding checkout options. Set all product details, including price and the checkout URL form.
Conversion of PDFs into hardbound digital books is fantastic. The moment a flipbook comes on the screen, it gives you an effect like you’re actually reading a book. Our readers are fascinated with that. On Kindle you’re just scrolling down the screen, which is very boring. And FlippingBook gives our readers a live experience.

Reason 4: We Care about Your Security and Privacy

We know that in our digital era security is more vital than ever and we always care about your privacy. We don’t use your flipbooks for unsolicited promotion of our services (only with your permission), we just help you create the content and give you full control of it. There’s nothing that can take your readers’ attention from your flipbooks, only a small FlippingBook logo in the corner that you can change to your company’s logo. 

We’ve built a state-of-the-art infrastructure and use highly-reliable Amazon servers to ensure that your flipbooks are protected from unwanted access, securely hosted, load fast, and are always available on any device. We have always taken cybersecurity seriously, introducing efficient protective measures against any and all possible threats. But don’t take our word for it—discover FlippingBook’s cybersecurity rating provided by SecurityScorecard.

You can choose whether to make your content public or private. From a shareable link only available to your recipients to a protected embed that only works within your website. When you password-protect your sensitive content, we’ll make sure it stays secured and there’s no way to view your flipbooks without a password. And if you restrict how your content can be shared, your flipbooks will be available only to the audience you select.

Reason 5: We Offer Not Just a Converter But a Powerful Service

FlippingBook goes beyond simply being a flipbook maker. We’re offering you exactly what you need to enhance your marketing and sales activities. We answer “why?” for you and give you a versatile service to empower you in your everyday work. Here are a few examples of how FlippingBook boosts your marketing and sales processes.

 

Branding and design

Engage people with stunning design by adding a vibrant gallery of enticing background templates or your own background, company logo, and color palette. Catch your readers' attention right from the start and get more loyal clients. 

 

Custom domain

Enhance your brand awareness by customizing the direct link to your flipbook with your company name. This way, you remove any mention of FlippingBook and get branded links for instantly recognizable content. 

Trackable links

Create and email individual links to the same flipbook to see how each lead interacts with it. Real-time open notifications and stats on recipient actions will help your sales team qualify leads for timely follow-ups and efficient sales.

 

Document analytics

Track the number of people and total views your publications drive, what parts of your document are the most engaging, and how much time your readers spent reading your flipbook. Knowing how people engage with your content helps you make it even more powerful.

Lead analytics

Add a customizable lead capture form that will help you collect leads right within your flipbook. You can choose from the options we offer: email, name, phone number, company name, country, or set your own. This way, you will gather all the essential data about your leads and contact them at the right time.

Since integrating FlippingBook into our client’s marketing campaigns, we’ve noticed a twofold increase in the amount of leads that we get. And the conversion rate is now three times higher than before..

Reason 6: We Know What We Are Not

If you want to create flipbooks to sell them or add E-commerce to them and are not looking for an excellent reading experience, then Flipsnack has a special set of features to help you do it quickly. 

You won’t be able to sell with us. But if you have ready PDFs and would like to convert them to engaging flipbooks with the best, unrivaled reading experience, FlippingBook is exactly what you need.
