Publish PDFs and images as WordPress flipbooks

Real3D Flipbook PRO presents PDFs and image sets as responsive, interactive publications. Use it for magazines, catalogs, brochures, menus, portfolios, property listings, annual reports, newsletters, ebooks and product manuals. PDFs stay on your server. Existing flipbooks and options carry over when upgrading to PRO.

To create one, go to Real3D Flipbook and choose Add New. Select a PDF or a set of images, configure the viewer and PRO settings, then publish. Place the flipbook on a page or post with the Gutenberg block or shortcode.

PRO features for reading and navigation

• 4K zoom: Pages stay sharp when readers enlarge fine print or detailed artwork.
• Optimized page loading: Multi-tier page textures use a size suited to the device and zoom level.
• PDF links and text: Preserve clickable links from the PDF and let readers search and choose page text.
• Custom controls: Choose from seven toolbar layouts and three skins, then adjust colors, icons and buttons.
• Analytics and page links: Track flipbook events with Google Analytics and link directly to a specific page.
• Phone and shared settings: Set different behavior for phones and establish defaults across flipbooks.

Choose how each publication reads

The WebGL 3D view bends pages and includes shadows as readers turn them. Other options include CSS 3D and CSS 2D page flips, swipe navigation, continuous scrolling and a simple PDF view. Display a flipbook inline, in a lightbox or fullscreen, and adjust its toolbar, background, colors and controls to fit the site.

The responsive viewer supports desktop, tablet and phone screens. On phones, readers can swipe through pages and pinch to zoom. Flipbooks can open from thumbnails or other page elements in a lightbox. PDF links on a site can also be set to open as flipbooks, and PDFs can be used to generate thumbnails and flipbook posts.

Use cases and organization

Publish a catalog with clickable destinations, a searchable annual report, a mobile-friendly restaurant menu or a portfolio made from high-resolution artwork. Social sharing, categories, JSON import and export, and embedded placement help manage and distribute multiple flipbooks.

Installation

Install and activate the WordPress extension. The Page Editor, WooCommerce and PDF Tools add-ons are available separately; the Page Editor add-on requires PRO.
