DearFlip Pro turns PDF links and image collections into interactive publications in WordPress. Page-by-page browsing can suit catalogs, portfolios, brochures, reports, and photo collections.

Choose a format for the document

• 3D flipbook: Uses WebGL for page-turning presentations of PDFs and images.
• 2D flipbook: Uses CSS and HTML5. Product information describes it as a faster-loading option when 3D effects are not needed, including on low-end devices.
• PDF viewer or embed: Displays a PDF in a style similar to a browser PDF viewer, which can suit files with irregular layouts.
• PDF slider: Shows PDF pages as slides, including for documents with unconventional layouts or formatting.
• Image flipbook: Presents an ordered collection of images as a browsable publication.

For a PDF flipbook, provide a link to the PDF. The file must be accessible to the WordPress page; files hosted on another domain may require CORS permission. For an image flipbook, select and arrange the images. Product information describes support for documents exceeding 1,000 pages and 500MB. Right-to-left languages, including Arabic, are supported, and PDF download controls can be enabled or disabled.

Pro settings for sharing and presentation

DearFlip Pro makes links embedded in PDFs clickable. It can also open flipbooks from buttons, links, custom HTML, or images. Bookshelves group publications, while global settings apply choices across flipbooks. Presentation options include realistic book covers and spiral 3D flipbooks.

Customize visible controls, page flexibility, translations for controls and buttons, and the share-link prefix. You can set PDF link targets, use the PDF media attachment page, and adjust zoom behavior, including mouse-scroll zoom, zoom ratio, and stage padding. Google Analytics can track flipbook opens.

For large PDFs, configure partial loading and its PDF loading size so pages load on demand. Responsive book thumbnails help present flipbooks across various show sizes.

Set up and place a flipbook

Install DearFlip in WordPress and make a flipbook post. Provide a PDF link or select and order images, then save the post. Copy its shortcode into the page or post where you want the flipbook and publish that page. With Pro, you can also open the flipbook from a button, link, custom HTML, or image. For a collection, create individual flipbooks and arrange them on a bookshelf; global settings can keep their presentation consistent.
