Why should you be viewing PDFs online as flipbooks?

Because the experience is so much better. Viewing PDFs online in the format of digital flipbooks comes with multiple perks:

  • Seamless reading experience. Your audience can flip through the pages while reading the content instead of scrolling and waiting for it to load—flipbooks load instantly in any browser. And if you set your flipbook pages to turn automatically, people can sit back and relax with a cup of coffee, enjoying your document.
  • Attachment-free access. When you move your PDF to HTML5, it becomes available as a link. No more attachments! Your clients can easily access your content without downloads using FlippingBook online PDF viewer.
  • Responsive PDF viewer. Flipbooks take your PDFs to a new level. PDFs become interactive with a smooth page flip effect, and they’re also responsive—they open and work well on any screen or device as flipbooks. Plus, you can choose to show one or two pages at a time, or even present your content as slides.
