Tell your story better with videos

Whether you publish magazines, brochures, or reports, embedding videos into your PDFs will give them an unparalleled level of interactivity. Wonder how to embed a video into your PDF? It’s super simple—just upload your document into our interactive PDF editor and embed a YouTube, Vimeo, or Wistia video link to any page you want.

Highlight products with pop-up images and GIFs

Pop-ups let you add high-resolution images into your PDF without cluttering it—showcase products in detail or create beautiful image galleries so people can switch from one pop-up image to another. And PDFs animated with GIFs will catch your customer’s eye and encourage them to read your content longer.

Match your digital PDFs to print issues

FlippingBook gives your documents a life-like feel with a realistic page flip effect, so you can delight your readers with the most engaging and fun reading experience.

Two-page layout

A classic design with the most realistic touch. Best for interactive magazines, brochures, and catalogs.

Slide view

A presentation-like style for a calm and professional feel. Best for presentations, reports, and invoices.

One-page layout

The best of both worlds: clean, single-page design and a realistic page turning effect. Great fit for albums, galleries, and any other wide-page documents.

Make your documents a part of a bigger story

Encourage readers to explore your content beyond PDF with outbound links. Add a link to any element in your publication—text, product image, or ad—to make it clickable and help your audience stay connected.

Turn viewers into leads with a lead capture form

Bridge the gap between your leads and your content with a lead capture form. You can embed a customizable form on any page of your interactive PDF to collect emails, names, and other contact info from your viewers. No need to gate the document on the website—share it on any channel and be sure that no lead slips through.
