Auto-Flip

Auto-flip is a feature that automatically turns the pages of a digital flipbook at a set time interval, creating a slideshow-like experience. Instead of requiring readers to click or swipe to advance, the flipbook plays through its pages hands-free, similar to an automated presentation.

Auto-flip is valuable for unattended displays such as trade show kiosks, lobby screens, or digital signage where no one is actively interacting with the content. It ensures every page gets seen without requiring user input, which increases overall content exposure and keeps displays running continuously.

FlipLink's [Slideshow / Auto-Flip](/features/slideshow-auto-flip) feature lets you enable automatic page turning on any flipbook. You can set the time interval between page turns to control the pacing — shorter intervals for image-heavy catalogs, longer ones for text-rich content. The flipbook loops back to the beginning after reaching the last page, creating a continuous playback cycle. Readers can still manually navigate pages at any time, and the auto-flip resumes after a period of inactivity.

A real estate agency displays a property catalog flipbook on a screen in their office lobby. With auto-flip set to eight-second intervals, visitors see each listing as pages turn automatically. When a visitor spots a property they like, they can grab the tablet and manually browse for details.
