Flipso
What it is
Flipso converts PDF files into interactive flipbooks that readers open in a browser. You can upload a PDF and create a flipbook without an account, then share a hosted link for desktop, tablet, or phone viewers. Flipbooks can be embedded with iframe code on sites such as WordPress, Shopify, Wix, and Squarespace when custom HTML or iframe embeds are supported. Add clickable URL areas, internal page jumps, and link-click tracking. Lead forms collect short or long text, email, or phone details, with page-based gating, dismissal, and CSV export. Analytics show total views, page engagement, overlay-link clicks, and submitted leads. PDFs become optimized WebP page images, and existing link annotations can become clickable overlays. The free plan costs nothing, billed forever, and allows three flipbooks, ten leads, custom backgrounds, and analytics. Uploads are limited to 100 MB, and converted text cannot be selected.
