FAQ

  • I want to make an online catalog but I don’t have it in PDF yet. How do I make a PDF?

    You can use our seamless FlippingBook + Canva integration. Create a PDF from scratch or take one of our free templates, create your catalog in Canva, and then send it directly into FlippingBook where you can add pop-up galleries, new collection videos, and links to purchase your items.

    Alternatively, check out our blog post The Best PDF Creating Tools for Non-Designers. It contains our recommendations on various PDF creating tools based on their complexity, key features, and qualities. Hopefully, it will help you make a choice.

  • How to make a catalog with FlippingBook?

    All you have to do is upload a PDF to FlippingBook, and it will be converted to HTML5 automatically. Then you can customize your publication, set distribution preferences, add interactive features, and more. When you decide your online product catalog is ready, just share the link to it with your customers or insert the embed code directly into your website.

  • How big can my catalog be?

    You can create an online catalog of up to 2,000 pages with the original PDF of 250 MB, 500 MB, or 1 GB depending on the plan you’re using.

  • Do you have a free plan or a trial?

    We don’t have a free plan but we do have a free trial. All features will be available to you during the trial, with just a couple exceptions. No credit card is required.

  • Will you put ads in my e-catalogs?

    No, we won’t. All publications created via FlippingBook are ad-free, always.

  • Can I add a table of contents to my catalog?

    Yes, you can. If your PDF already has bookmarks, created in a PDF editor, FlippingBook Online will convert them into a clickable table of contents. Or you can make a table of contents from scratch.

  • Will my catalog be accessible?

    Yes, as long as you enable the Accessibility feature and provide an accessible PDF to go with your interactive catalog. The FlippingBook viewer is ADA-compliant meaning the interface is compatible with assistive software and offers a few alternative navigation options.

  • How many publications can I create with FlippingBook?

    It depends on the plan (or edition, if it’s FlippingBook Publisher). If you choose to host on your own server, the number of publications is unlimited.

  • Do I need coding skills to use your converter? Do I have to be a designer?

    You don’t need coding skills to use FlippingBook. And our ready backgrounds and color palette will help you turn your online catalog into an eye-catching digital publication even if you have no previous experience in design. Our learning curve is so short you can barely notice it.
