What is an HTML5 flipbook?

An HTML5 flipbook is the open-source and fully indexed version of a digital flipbook. Our HTML5 flipbook maker adds new life to your static PDFs by immersing the reader in the experience and making it interactive. 

Issuu makes it easy to convert a PDF to an HTML5 flipbook for free. Flippable pages are an effective way to turn any of your PDF documents into engaging and interactive publications that can be shared in a flash with just a click of a button.

What really sets an HTML5 flipbook apart from a traditional PDF is that the HTML5 flipbook maker allows you to make your content interactive. The reader is immersed in the experience, and the ability to add video and other visual assets allows you to tell your story in true-to-life detail.

HTML5 Flipbook: Frequently Asked Questions

  • HTML5 is the most browser-friendly and universally adopted format to share content online. It’s compatible with just about every internet-enabled device, from laptops to smartwatches and eReaders, ensuring that anyone can download and read your flipbook. Unlike other document formats, readers don’t need special software just to open HTML5.

  • A static PDF does not produce a dynamic and engaging reading experience like an HTML5 flipbook can. The flippable pages give the reader a book-like experience that keeps them involved in what you have to say. Embedded links or videos to testimonials, case studies, and infographics are a salesperson’s dream. Side-by-side, a static PDF simply can’t compete with the all-inclusive and immersive experience our HTML5 flipbook maker provides.

  • It couldn’t be simpler to convert a PDF to an HTML5 flipbook for free. Simply upload your PDF documents to the HTML5 flipbook maker and add videos, images, and links. We recommend using the Fullscreen feature to captivate your audience and make the experience immersive.
