What is a FlipBook and how to create it for free from a PDF?

The FlipBook is an interface that allows you to combine the simplicity of use of a digital content with the pleasure of ” browsing ” the paper. Anyone who wants to make their online content more interactive and interesting can think about using it, especially now that doing it is almost completely free.

The platform is well suited to different types of digital content, such as ebooks, catalogs, brochures, flyers, magazines, and much more.

It is a fun and interactive way to promote services or products and can be defined as a browsable PDF online. By improving the user experience for the reader, the FlipBook is an optimal carrier to connect with its readers.

What is a FlipBook?

Explained in detail, a FlipBook is an interactive platform that allows you to read digital contents as if they were in a real book, with a lot of browsable effect. Those who read a FlipBook go to the next page by leafing through it virtually, imitating the action they would have taken with a traditional book.

The advantages of a FlipBook are different: multi-platform compatibility, practicality, intuitive navigation even for the less experienced. Modern design and animations, background sounds and characters also help the reader to perceive a greater number of information with respect to a cold digital content, arousing greater attraction in the user.

But how can you make one with your own content? One solution comes from GloboSoft, which allows you to create a FlipBook from different types of files and documents, including those made with the Office suite. Of course, there is no lack of the possibility of creating FlipBooks from PDF for free and directly online without having to install any software on your system.

PDF is one of the most common files for representing digital content, whether in text or image format, and is mainly used for documents, ebooks and other reading material. Precisely for this reason it is a perfect format to create a FlipBook.

The tool we talked about above is online and does not require the installation of software, certificates or other stuff on your PC. To create a free FlipBook from PDF you need to send your browser to the FlipbookPDF site, upload the PDF file by selecting it from your computer’s local folders after pressing the Browse … button and finally click on Convert Now! The site is totally localized and, at the end of the operation, a page with two links will appear:

• The first, the one above, simply allows you to view the FlipBook or, of course, share it as and with whomever you want.
• The link at the bottom instead leads to the ADMIN area that allows you to customize the FlipBook before launching into sharing, for example: changing the title, adding a description, inserting a logo, and deciding whether to provide the external user with the possibility to download it to the own PC.

At the bottom, there are also three buttons: Download, to download the FlipBook; New Conversion, to start a new service operation; and Upgrade to PRO.
