What it is
FlowPaper converts PDFs into interactive flipbooks and web publications intended for mobile viewing. Its browser viewer compresses graphics and downloads only the pages currently visible. The desktop publisher can add links, images, galleries, and videos from YouTube, Vimeo, Wistia, or self-hosted locations. Publications can be hosted on FlowPaper Cloud or self-hosted; the company says self-hosting has no publication-count limit. A JavaScript API offers methods and events for embedding the viewer in an application or webpage. FlowPaper supports page-by-page Google Analytics tracking, while higher plans list heatmap and engagement analytics. The Free plan is $0.00 per free and includes one workstation, cloud hosting, FlowPaper branding, and publishing for 90 days. Paid plans include Zine at $75.00 per once, Creative at $85.00 per month, and Enterprise at $995.00 per year. Supported platforms include Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows, web, API, and self-hosted use. FlowPaper is a product of New Zealand company Devaldi Limited.
