Creating a Flipbook

Step 1: Upload content

In the project editor, go to the Content tab and upload your files:

PDF files: Automatically split into individual pages
Images: JPG, PNG, or WebP files become single pages
Multiple files: Upload several files at once

For best results, use high-resolution images or PDFs. Recommended minimum resolution is 1200px wide.

Step 2: Organize pages

After uploading, you can:

Drag and drop pages to reorder them
Delete pages you don't need
Upload additional pages anytime

Step 3: Add interactivity

Make your flipbook interactive with pointers. These are clickable hotspots you can add to any page.

Step 4: Customize appearance

In the Appearance tab, customize:

Background: Solid color, gradient, or custom image
Cover color: The color of the book spine/cover
Default zoom: How zoomed in the viewer starts
