Online Flipbook Maker

HB Flipbook is an online flipbook maker that turns a finished PDF into a polished digital flipbook, read in any web browser. There is no coding, no plugin and no software to install: you upload the file you already have, choose how it should look, and publish flipbooks online as a link you can send or embed.

Turn a PDF into an online flipbook

Most documents are still finished as PDFs, and a PDF is a poor way to publish something online. It downloads instead of opening, it looks the same for everyone, and once it is sent you have no idea whether anyone read it. HB Flipbook takes that same file and renders every page as a browser-based publication readers can turn, zoom and navigate on a phone or a desktop.

You keep designing wherever you design today — InDesign, Illustrator, Canva, Figma, Word, Keynote or anything else that exports a PDF. HB Flipbook is not a document design tool; it is the step after the design is finished.

An online flipbook creator that needs no developer

A published flipbook lives at its own address and can be read as a single page, a double-page spread, an animated flipbook or a continuous scroll. Readers choose nothing and configure nothing: you set the viewing mode that suits the document and they simply read it.

Because the publication is on the web rather than in an attachment, you can correct a page, swap in a new version or unpublish it entirely without asking anyone to re-download anything.

Interactive pages, not flat images

Any page can carry buttons, web links, email links, phone links, embedded video and invisible hotspots placed exactly where you want them. A product page can link straight to its listing, a property brochure can dial the agent, a report can play the interview it quotes.

What you can control

Custom branding

Add your logo, brand and accent colours, background colour and viewer styling on every plan, including Free, so the publication looks like it belongs to you. Starter and above can remove the HB Flipbook badge from the viewer entirely.

Sharing and embedding

Every published flipbook has a share link and an embed code. Paste the embed on your own site so the publication reads inside your page instead of sending visitors away.

Reader analytics

Total views, visitor sessions, average pages per session, a completion figure and views per page, so you can see which pages hold attention and where readers stop.

Access controls

Publish openly or unpublish so the link stops working, on any plan. From Starter upwards you can also protect a publication with a password; password-protected publications are kept out of search results.

Lead capture

On the Pro and Business plans you can collect names, emails and enquiries through a form attached to the publication.

Download control

Decide whether readers can download the underlying PDF or read the publication on screen only. Reader PDF downloads are available from the Starter plan.

Common questions

What is an online flipbook maker?

An online flipbook maker takes a finished document — usually a PDF — and publishes it as a page-turning publication that opens in a web browser. Readers do not download a file or install anything; they open a link and read the pages on screen. HB Flipbook is an online flipbook maker built by Heywood & Beaudry Creative Inc.

Do I need design or coding skills to make a flipbook?

No. You design the document wherever you already work, export it as a PDF, and HB Flipbook converts every page into a flipbook automatically. Adding links, hotspots, branding and an embed code is done through the publication settings, with no code involved.

Is there a free flipbook maker plan?

Yes. The Free plan lets you publish three flipbooks without a credit card, including your own logo, colours and interactive elements. Starter, Pro and Business raise the number of published flipbooks and add features such as removing the HB Flipbook badge, lead capture and reader analytics.

Can I put my own branding on the flipbook?

Yes, on every plan including Free. You can apply your logo, brand and accent colours, background colour and viewer styling to each publication. Removing the HB Flipbook badge from the viewer is available from Starter upwards.

Can I see how people read the flipbook?

Yes. Each publication reports total views, visitor sessions, average pages per session, a completion figure and views for each individual page.

Do I need to redesign my PDF before turning it into a flipbook?

No. The PDF you already export is uploaded as-is and every page is converted for browser reading automatically. Branding, links, video and access controls are added on the publication afterwards, so the original design stays untouched.
