Overview
To turn a PowerPoint into a flipbook, click Create, hover Upload files, choose From device or Google Drive, and pick your .pptx or .odp file. Flipsnack converts each slide into a flipbook page and opens the Customize page, where you can brand the flipbook and publish it. Uploading a presentation works on every plan, including Free.
💡 Benefits of turning your PPTX and ODP into flipbooks
- Interactivity: add videos, hyperlinks, buttons and forms, none of which survive a slide deck emailed as an attachment.
- Opens in any browser: no PowerPoint, no LibreOffice and no download, which is what stops a deck reaching people on a phone.
- Accessible reading: zoom, adjustable font size and screen reader support at any screen size.
- One link for everyone: send it by email, post it to social or embed it in your own site.
- Reader insight: views, time spent and clicks, which a PPTX file never reports.
Converting a single PPTX or ODP file into a flipbook
- From the Main Dashboard, click Create and hover Upload files.
- Choose the source of your file: From device or Google Drive. The PDF with full editing support (Beta) entry below them is the separate Edit PDF flow.
- Select your .pptx or .odp file. Name it clearly first, so it is easy to find later.
- Wait for the Converting your PDF banner to finish. Flipsnack opens the Customize page by itself.
Caution: if your file contains hidden slides, the conversion fails. Remove or unhide them before you upload the .pptx.
Upload from Google Drive
- Click Google Drive and connect your account to give Flipsnack access.
- Select the PPTX or ODP that is already stored in your Drive.
Customize and add interactive elements
The Customize page has four tabs: Branding, Appearance, Controls and Add-ons. Read customization options for what each one does.
- Turn on Save options for future flipbooks to reuse your settings on the next flipbook.
- Click the pencil icon at the top of the page to edit your slides and add links, videos and other interactions.
Tip: Flipsnack turns your slides into editable elements, so you can fix a typo, change a font color or swap an image without going back to PowerPoint. Learn how to edit your file. This feature is in Beta.
Publish your flipbook
- Click Share in the top right corner.
- In the Publish your flipbook window, check the Title and select the visibility: Public, Unlisted or Private. To rank in search results, make the flipbook public and follow how to optimize it for search engines.
- Click the arrow next to Publish to save the flipbook as a draft, publish it later or set an inactive date.
After you publish, the Overview page shows the flipbook's link and visibility, plus the Download and Sharing options.
Merging multiple PPTX or ODP files into one flipbook
- Click Create, hover Upload files and choose From device or Google Drive.
- Select all the files you want. A window says You have selected 2 files. Click Merge them into one. Upload separately makes one flipbook per file instead.
Note: you can merge PDF, PPTX, ODP, JPG and PNG files.
- On the Reorder or add more files page, drag the files into the order you want, or add more. Then click Continue.
- Click Share to publish, as described above.
Troubleshooting
- Each file became its own flipbook: you chose Upload separately. Upload the files again and choose Merge them into one.
- The conversion failed: look for hidden slides in the file, remove them and upload again.
