DearFlip Pro

Present PDFs and images as flipbooks

DearFlip Pro turns PDFs and image collections into browsable publications on a WordPress website. Use a PDF link as the source for a document flipbook, or choose images for an image flipbook. Add the finished flipbook to a page or post so users can browse it there.

Choose a viewing mode

Available viewing modes depend on whether you use a PDF or an image collection:

• 3D flipbook: Uses WebGL for a lifelike page-turning presentation of PDFs and images.
• 2D flipbook: Uses CSS and HTML5 for a simpler page-turning view. Product information describes it as a faster-loading option for low-end devices.
• PDF viewer or embed: Displays a PDF in a format similar to a browser's embedded PDF viewer.
• PDF slider: Shows PDF pages as slides, which can suit files with irregular layouts or formatting.
• Image flipbook: Presents a collection of images as a browsable visual story.

Right-to-left languages are supported, and PDF download controls can be enabled or disabled. Product information says documents can exceed 1,000 pages and 500 MB. Partial loading lets pages load on demand, with a configurable loading size for PDFs.

Customize presentation and controls

DearFlip Pro makes links embedded in the original PDF clickable. Open a flipbook from a button, link, custom HTML, or image, and group publications in bookshelves. Global options apply choices across flipbooks. For individual presentations, choose which controls appear, adjust page flexibility and zoom behavior, and set stage padding. Additional settings include realistic book covers, spiral 3D flipbooks, responsive book thumbnails, translated controls and buttons, custom share-link prefixes, PDF link targets, and the PDF media attachment page. Google Analytics can track when users open flipbooks.

Create and add a flipbook

1. Install DearFlip in WordPress and make a new flipbook.
2. For a PDF, provide its link. For an image flipbook, select and arrange the images.
3. Choose a viewing mode and configure presentation, controls, download behavior, and loading options.
4. Save the flipbook, copy its shortcode, and paste it into the page or post where it should appear.

For a collection of publications, create each flipbook and arrange them in a bookshelf. Use global settings to keep presentation choices consistent across the collection.
