<h3>Viewer Modes available in DearFlip</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>3D Flipbook</strong>– With DearFlip, your PDFs and images will be transformed into interactive, lifelike books. This is achieved through cutting-edge WebGL technology, which does all the complex work behind the scenes. Meanwhile, your customers will be enjoying your PDF content with delight. Our 3D Flipbook is a source of pride for us, and we believe it will soon be for you as well.</li>
<li><strong>2D Flipbook</strong> – “Old but Gold: 2D Flipbook” Experience the classic charm of traditional flipbooks with our 2D flipbook, crafted using CSS and HTML5 tags. This interactive and flippable digital flipbook remains a valuable alternative to its 3D counterpart. When speed is crucial and 3D effects are not a priority, such as on low-end devices, the 2D flipbook offers a faster loading time and a smooth browsing experience. Embrace nostalgia and enjoy the timeless appeal of 2D flipbooks, where the simplicity of design meets the beauty of interactivity.</li>
<li><strong>PDF embed and PDF Viewer</strong> – For those who prefer classic PDF viewers, DearFlip offers a feature that allows you to create PDF embeds on your page that mimic the look and feel of a browser’s embedded PDF viewer. This option is particularly suitable for documents with irregular layouts or formatting.</li>
<li><strong>PDF Slider like SlideShare</strong> – Why leave the basic slider, when complex flipbook are already available. Flipbook offers a simple and intuitive slider mode that allows users to view PDF pages as slides. This feature is especially useful for documents with unconventional layouts or formatting, making it easier to navigate and present the content effectively.</li>
</ul>
<h3>File Formats Supported by DearFlip</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>PDF / PDF Flipbook</strong> – Why do we recommend using 3D PDF Flipbooks? The key lies in their incredible simplicity. These PDF flipbooks are incredibly easy to create and use. Built on the powerful PDF.js library, they offer exceptional convenience, making management and updates a breeze. All it takes is a simple link to the PDF file, eliminating any unnecessary hassle. As our recommended file format for 3D flipbooks, we guarantee an unparalleled user experience.</li>
<li><strong>Image / Image Flipbook</strong> – If you have a collection of images that you want to display, why not create a captivating storybook out of them using ALBUMS? Picture Flipbook serves as your virtual album, enabling you to flip through, share, and cherish your photographs and portfolios with the world.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Customer Engagement and Presentation</h3>
<p><strong>Presentation Matters!</strong> At the core of an online flipbook lies the fundamental principle of customer engagement. Traditional document layouts fall short when it comes to captivating audiences. Scrolling through a PDF to consume content is not ideal, especially when the focus is more on presentation rather than mere information. Whether you’re promoting an idea, product, artwork, or portfolio, showcasing it visually is far more impactful than simply listing it. It’s no coincidence that websites are not solely text-based; their vibrant colors and interactive elements are designed specifically to foster CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT.</p>

DearFlip – PDF Flipbook, 3D Flipbook, PDF embed, PDF viewer

I use this for previews of my books to sell.

Like this


Absolutely recommendable, easy to use and it works perfectly.


Great plugin


I chose this plugin since it better suited my initial requirements for displaying PDF files in a 3D FlipBook. 



I found it fairly easy to use to display several PDF files. 



I've not had to change many of the settings. Nor have I tried Images. 



It would be nice to be able to use a block instead of a shortcode.



I have a couple of minor concerns reagarding accessibility; mostly colour contrast.  



But I'm sure these can be fixed in the near future.
