What FlippingBook is

FlippingBook converts PDFs into digital flipbooks for viewing interactive marketing materials such as newsletters, ebooks, brochures, and catalogs. Publications can include videos, GIFs, images, and links. Lead forms collect names, email addresses, and phone numbers, and leads can be passed to a CRM through Zapier. Trackable links show when a document was opened, which pages were viewed, and which links were clicked. Users can customize backgrounds, colors, logos, favicons, and publication links. The service offers a hosted Online product and FlippingBook Publisher, a Windows desktop edition with a perpetual license and one year of support and updates included. Online plans start at $20 a month, with no free plan and a 14-day trial that requires no credit card. Publisher has a separate 30-day trial. Supported connections include Canva, Adobe Express, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Zapier, and a public API. The company says it complies with GDPR and encrypts data in transit and at rest.
