Supporting skins makes 3D FlipBook customization very easy. It is necessary just to choose appropriate skin and that is all. There are available skins for light and dark themes – the most universal ones.

Nice 3D flipping

Masarib Group October 12, 2024 1 reply

Nice way to embed PDF and other formats. Is there way to add PDF files directly to the pages instead of creating 3D FlipBook first ??

Great plugin. Highly recommend!!!!

tbanach1 October 4, 2024

Great plugin. Easy to use plugin, I highly recommend it!!!!

Simple and reliable 3D flipbook

wpnpc420 September 20, 2024

This plugin is really straightforward to configure and easy to use. In less than 5-10 minutes I created my first 3D flipbook by simply uploading a normal PDF to my WordPress site. It worked just fine directly out of the box without touching any of the settings, and I feel like the free version is pretty complete in itself. Highly recommend!

super nice animated PDF viewer plugin !
