3D cookbook template

Family recipes, food blog cookbooks, or chef technique guides — turn your recipe PDF into a 3D cookbook with a hardcover and tap-to-zoom photos.

Three-step workflow

From source files to live URL

1
Upload the recipe PDF
Whether you wrote it in Word, Canva, or InDesign — export to PDF and drop in.
2
Pin technique videos
On any recipe with a tricky step, pin a hotspot linking to your YouTube tutorial. Readers tap from the book, open the video.
3
Brand the cover
Title, your name, custom cover color or pattern. Hardcover gives it the kitchen-coffee-table feel.

Why this template

For family cookbooks: password-protect so only family opens it. URL is unlisted.
For paid cookbooks: embed in your Substack/Gumroad paywall. Buyers get the URL after purchase.
Print scaling pointers: tap a yield, switch between 2-person and 8-person measurements (manually authored).
Mobile-first viewer perfect for "cooking with phone propped on the counter".
Free tier: 3 cookbooks. Pro $3/mo: unlimited (each chef in a kitchen can have their own).

FAQ

Not directly — no payment processing built in. Pair with Gumroad/Stripe Links/Substack: customers pay there, you send them the i3dify URL.

If you toggle download on, readers can grab the source PDF and print the page. By default this is off.

Create separate projects per language, or use the dock to add a "Cambiar a Español" link from the English cover page.
