How to download your flipbook as a video
Warning: If you're including videos set on "autoplay" or GIFs within your flipbook, the MP4 download format will not showcase them properly. We suggest you don't use this type of interactions if you want to download the flipbook in MP4 format.
Head over to My flipbooks and select the flipbook you want to download.
Next, click on the three dots located on the right side of your flipbook, and click on the Download button.
From the newly opened pop-up, select the Download MP4 option and click on Download.
Video specifications
As mentioned, the video download is available at a frame rate of 30 FPS and a resolution of 1920 x 1080px, which makes it ideal for sharing on social media platforms that support MP4 formats. Also, the teaser trailer has a time limit between 10 and 12 seconds.
Tip: We encourage you to include the flipbook's URL when you share the video. Since the video acts as a teaser, it might not display all the pages of your flipbook. Adding the link will allow your audience to enjoy the full publication.
