Special features of our Flipbook Maker

Read for free, share with an account
Reading never uploads your PDF, so it is unlimited for everyone. Sharing uploads the PDF once so others can read it, which has daily limits:
- To read a pdf you do not need any account, but sharing needs a free account.
- With a free account: 3 share links a day, PDFs up to 100 MB, 300.0 MB of shared files at a time. Links work for 24 hours.
- With Premium: 100 share links a day, PDFs up to 1 GB, 5.0 GB of shared files, and links that keep working while your Premium is active.
Eye Rest Feature That Reminds You to take a Break
Long reading sessions tire your eyes. Turn on eye care in reading settings and an orange cat will remind you to look away for 20 seconds every so often.
Your Privacy and Security
- Reading happens on your device and the PDF is not uploaded anywhere.
- A shared PDF is stored only to serve its link. Turn the link off or delete it whenever you want from Shared files.
- Passwords of protected PDFs are used on your device only and never sent to us.

Frequently asked questions
Is it really free to read PDFs as flipbooks?
Yes. Reading is free and unlimited, with no account. The PDF opens in your own browser and is never uploaded.
How do I share a flipbook with someone?
Open the PDF, press Share and sign in with a free account. We upload the PDF once and give you a link; anyone with the link can read it as a flipbook or download the PDF.
How long does a shared flipbook stay online?
Links made with a free account work for 24 hours. With Premium, links keep working for as long as your Premium is active. You can turn a link off or delete it any time from Shared files in your account.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. On a phone you read one page at a time and swipe to turn pages; in landscape the page fills the width so text stays readable. On tablets and computers you see two pages side by side, like an open book.
What is the orange cat?
An optional eye-care reminder. Turn it on in reading settings and, every 20 minutes of reading (or the time you choose), a cat drops by and reminds you to look away from the screen for a moment.
