Step-by-step guide

Choose a template

From the main dashboard, click on Create in the top-right corner, and then on Create from scratch.
Scroll down the page, choose the desired size, and click on Create. We offer pre-made sizes suitable for different types of publications. They are categorized into different domains, so you can easily find what you are interested in.
After selecting a template, you can browse through its pages, preview the layout and interactions, and then click Use this template to continue in the Design Studio.

Add template pages to your flipbook

Once you are in Design Studio, you have the following options:

1. Add a new page from any template or just simply clicking on arrow, then on New page to add it. If the selected page in the work area is empty, the template page will be applied directly.

Note: If the selected page in the work area already contains one or more editable elements in Design Studio, a pop-up will appear, warning you that the existing content of the page will be replaced.

We recommend that you check if the selected page is the one you want to change. Repeat the process as many times as you wish. This option is great when you intend to use only a few pages from the template.

Note: Applying a new template or page will only remove the preexisting elements from the flipbook. It will not reset the background color. If you applied a background color, it would remain the same regardless of the template you apply.

Add interactive elements to your design

You can fully personalize your flipbook by using the tools on the left-side panel:

Text: Add and format written content
Photos / Uploads: Insert your own visuals or use stock images
Video / Interact: Add interactive elements like videos, links, and buttons
Shapes / GIFs / Charts: Visually enhance your publication
Automation: Connect with live data sources or product feeds

Once your design is complete, preview it and click Share now to publish. You can return and edit your flipbook at any time.
