What Yumpu is

Yumpu converts PDF files into online publications such as magazines, brochures, and reports that can be shared by link or embedded on a website. Uploaded PDFs become page-turning publications, and Yumpu says a magazine can be online in about two minutes. Publications can include links, videos, and picture galleries; the service also extracts text from PDFs to prepare it for search engines. Readers can access publications through social or email sharing, and publishers can use Dropbox automatic imports or a WordPress plugin. Yumpu’s API supports uploading and managing magazines, setting access tags, editing publication settings, and connecting external applications. Readers can download an original PDF if the publisher enables downloads, a feature available with paid subscriptions. The free plan permits three uploads and includes Google indexing, website integration, and social sharing. Paid plans start at $19.95/mo with annual billing, and a 14-day trial is listed. Platforms include Android, iOS, web, and API. Custom mobile kiosk apps with offline reading are offered through APPKiosk and PROKiosk.
