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.

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

Key benefits of converting your PPTX and ODP into flipbooks

• Better engagement & interactivity: Unlike regular PowerPoint or ODP files, flipbooks support embedded videos, hyperlinks, buttons, and forms. These added features allow you to create a more immersive and clickable experience for your audience.
• Instant access - no downloads needed: Flipbooks can be opened directly in any modern browser—no need for PowerPoint, LibreOffice, or downloads. This ensures your audience can access your content quickly on any device, even if they don’t have presentation software.
• Better responsiveness on every device: Flipbooks are designed to be responsive and accessible, automatically adjusting to any screen size and often including features like zoom, adjustable fonts, and screen reader compatibility.
• Easy sharing and broader reach: Flipbooks are easy to share via links, social media, or embedding on websites, and can be accessed by unlimited viewers simultaneously. 
• Powerful analytics & performance tracking: Flipsnack offers built-in analytics, allowing you to track views, time spent, clicks, and reader behavior.
