What is a Flip Book?

A flip book is a digital representation of a physical book that simulates page turning. It combines the interactive elements of traditional flipbooks with the possibilities of modern technology. Users can virtually turn pages as if they were reading a physical book.

Flipbooks are commonly used to display magazines, brochures, catalogs, portfolios, e-books, and other visually rich content in a visually appealing format. They offer to display magazines, brochures, catalogs, portfolios, e-books, and unique information presentation methods.

Here is an example of a flipbook 

Choosing the Right Flip Book Plugin

If you want to create flip books on your WordPress website, you’ll need to select the right plugin. There are several options available, each with its advantages and disadvantages. It’s essential to consider various factors when choosing a flipbook plugin, including its cost, ease of use, customization options, and compatibility with WordPress themes.

Before committing to a plugin, research and read reviews from other users. It’s also a good idea to test the plugin and see how it works with your content and design. We are working on several flipbook plugins, but the best one is TNC FlipBook – PDF Viewer for WordPress. This plugin easily converts static PDFs into flipbooks and has many customization options.

Install and Activate the Flip Book Plugin

In your WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins and click Add New. Find the plugin folder you choose for TNC FlipBook, install it, and activate it with your license key. 

Upload the PDF file and Create a Flip Book

First, could you create a PDF? Creating a PDF file with Canva takes just a few minutes to complete. Canva is a popular online graphic design tool that offers various templates and design options. Select a template and head over to the Canva editor. Canva provides an easy-to-use interface with drag-and-drop functionality. Adding or changing items is easy.

TNC FlipBook lets you view and embed PDF files from your WordPress site. Prepare your content accordingly. If you’re using a PDF, ensure it’s adequately formatted for best viewing in a flipbook. Then, select the PDF file you want to use for your flipbook. You will be given the option to upload your new PDF file to TNcFlipbook. 

Click Add New, select a PDF file, set a featured image, and add a new category (the Add New Category option comes from  Display – PDF viewer for WordPress addon). Without this addon, there is no option to add categories. It’s a straightforward process. Insert the PDF file into your TNC Flipbook, and you’re done! Now, you can use this PDF as a flipbook on your website. It can be displayed or embedded in a post or page.

Publish and Preview your Flip Book

Publish your flipbooks on your WordPress site and share them with your audience. Make sure the flipbook looks and works as expected. Adjust settings and styles as needed. Create flipbooks using the plugin’s built-in tools.

This usually involves uploading your content and customizing the design and layout to your liking. Check out the page to see flipbooks in action.
