Key facts
What i3dify is, in plain numbers
- Rendering
- i3dify renders content as real WebGL 3D geometry with weighted page-turning physics — not CSS-faked 2D page flips.
- Viewer types
- One tool produces 7 viewer types: flipbook, business card, photo album, gallery, lanyard, desktop mockup, and mobile mockup. Most competitors ship one.
- Desktop mockup
- Website and prototype screenshots are shown on a 3D laptop screen. A full-length capture scrolls inside the display, the arrow keys or the dock move between screens, and dragging the background turns the laptop. The phone equivalent is the separate mobile mockup type.
- Mobile mockup
- App and mobile web screenshots are shown on the display of a 3D phone. One tall image per screen scrolls inside the display, the dock or the arrow keys move between screens, dragging the phone scrolls it and dragging the backdrop turns it, and clickable hotspots on the screen stay tappable on a touch device. Images or a PDF, one page per screen.
- Load size
- Pages stream on demand, so the initial load stays under 1 MB and viewers open on mobile and 3G.
- Sharing
- Every viewer is one share URL plus a one-line iframe embed that works in Notion, WordPress, Webflow, Carrd, Framer, Squarespace, Ghost, Shopify, and Beehiiv.
- Free tier
- 3 projects and 50 MB, with a small i3dify branding pill. Most flipbook tools give one free project.
- Pro plan
- Unlimited projects, 10 GB, custom domain, analytics, and no branding — $2/mo billed annually ($3/mo monthly).
- Business plan
- 25 GB and 5 seats — $4/mo billed annually ($6/mo monthly).
- Mobile
- Pinch-to-zoom, swipe-to-flip, and full-screen mode on touch devices.
- Privacy
- Password-protected and unlisted sharing modes for private client deliveries.

Why it's different
Real 3D, one tool, one URL
Most "3D flipbook" tools animate a 2D image with CSS to fake a page curl. i3dify renders each page as actual geometry in WebGL and applies weighted physics, so a heavy cover falls differently than a thin inner page. That difference is most visible on mobile, where the majority of shared links are opened.
Because pages stream on demand, the initial payload stays under 1 MB — a document opens fast even on a slow connection, instead of forcing a multi-megabyte download up front.
A single i3dify account replaces a stack of point tools: a flipbook host, a link-in-bio page, a photo-gallery host, a business-card app, and a device-mockup generator for both a laptop and a phone. Seven viewer types come from one editor, and each one ships as a single share URL plus an iframe embed.
