Differences between embed, download HTML5 and CNAME

Learn the differences between embed, download HTML5, and custom domain.

If you've ever wondered about the meaning of embed code, HTML5 download, and CNAME (custom domain), as well as the difference between them, here is a brief description of each and their respective functions on our platform.

The Embed code is an iFrame for your flipbook. You can paste this code on any website that supports iFrame embed codes to allow your readers to access the embedded flipbooks on platforms other than Flipsnack. 

Note: The embed option is available with any subscription, including the free plan.

The HTML5 download is a format that preserves all the interactions on your flipbooks, including the flipping pages after download.

The custom domain is a type of resource record that allows you to set your own domain/sub-domain for your flipbooks. Your flipbooks will not have our company's name mentioned anywhere on the them, on the hosting page, or in the URL of your flipbooks. 

Note: The HTML5 download and custom domain features are available starting with the Business plan.
