Converting a PowerPoint presentation into a flipbook

Upload a PPTX or ODP file from your computer or Google Drive and publish it

Overview

If you already have a presentation created in PowerPoint or another presentation tool, you can easily turn it into a digital flipbook using Flipsnack. Supported formats include .PPTX, and .ODP, allowing you to upload your files without needing to start from scratch.

Note: Edit your slides directly in Flipsnack (Beta)

Although the feature is called Edit PDF, it is fully compatible with PPTX and ODP files!

When you upload your presentation using this flow, Flipsnack converts your slides into editable elements. This means you can fix typos, change font colors, or swap images directly in our Design Studio without having to go back to PowerPoint and re-upload.

Learn more about how to edit your files here.

Flipsnack automatically converts each slide into individual flipbook pages, keeping your layout and content intact while also offering additional customization and interactivity options.

Requirements

  • The Upload PPTX feature is available for all plans, including the Free plan.
💡 Benefits of turning your PPTX and ODP into flipbooks
  • Videos, hyperlinks, buttons and forms: none of which survive a slide deck emailed as an attachment.
  • It opens in any browser: with no PowerPoint, no LibreOffice and no download, which is what stops a deck reaching people on a phone.
  • Zoom, adjustable font size and screen reader support: at any screen size.
  • One link, unlimited readers at once: sent by email, posted to social, or embedded in your own site.
  • Views, time spent, clicks and reader behaviour: a PPTX file reports none of it.

Converting a single PPTX, or ODP file into a flipbook

Upload from your computer

  • Select PPTX or ODP files directly from your device.
  • Before uploading, ensure your files are named appropriately for easy identification.

Caution: If your file contains hidden slides, the conversion process will fail. Please remove or unhide any hidden slides before uploading the .pptx to Flipsnack.

Upload from Google Drive 

  • Click Upload from Drive, and then connect your account to enable access.
  • Once connected, make sure the PPTX or ODP is already stored in your Google Drive, then simply select it to proceed.

Now’s the time to add a Title and a Description. If you’re interested in ranking organically, make the flipbook public and check this article on how to optimize it for search engines.
