Turn a static PDF into an interactive link.
Upload any PDF to FlipLink and it becomes an interactive document — a real page-flip view with clickable links, background audio, and built-in analytics. Share it as one link that opens in any browser, on any device, with nothing to download.
Interactive catalogs, proposals, magazines, and training manuals that readers actually click
What makes a FlipLink PDF interactive
More than a flat file — a document people can flip, click, and explore, while you see exactly what they engaged with.
Clickable links and hotspots
Add working links and clickable image areas anywhere on the page. Readers tap straight through to your site, a product, a form, or a video — no copying URLs out of a flat PDF.
Background music and audio
Drop background audio and a soundtrack right into the pages. A catalog, lookbook, or manual plays media inline instead of asking readers to leave the document.
See every interaction
Every interactive link is trackable: views, time on each page, clicks, location, and device. A static PDF tells you none of that.
Interactive PDF: a link vs a flat file
A regular PDF can hold text and images, but it can't flip, play media well, or tell you what happened after you sent it. Here is what changes with an interactive link.
| Flat PDF | PDF in a reader | FlipLink interactive link | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Real page-flip view | No | No | Yes — 3D flip |
| Clickable links and hotspots | Basic links only | Mixed by app | Yes — links and image areas |
| Inline background audio | Rarely works | Limited | Yes — native |
| Opens without downloading | No — reader downloads it | In a generic viewer | Yes — a polished viewer |
| See who engaged | No | No | Yes — per page and per click |
| Update after sending | No — resend a new file | No | Yes — same link, new file |
| Your own branding | No | No | Yes — custom domain |

Common questions about interactive PDFs
What is an interactive PDF?+
An interactive PDF is a document that goes beyond static text and images — it can include clickable links and hotspots, background audio, a real page-flip view, and tracking. With FlipLink you upload an ordinary PDF and share it as an interactive link that opens in any browser, with nothing to download.
How do I make a PDF interactive?+
Upload your PDF to FlipLink and it becomes a flippable online document. From there you add clickable links and image hotspots, add background audio, and apply your branding. You then share one link — readers get the full interactive experience in their browser on any device.
Can readers open an interactive PDF without special software?+
Yes. A FlipLink interactive document opens in any web browser on phone, tablet, or desktop — there is no app or PDF reader to install. That is the main advantage over interactive features built inside a flat PDF file, which often break depending on the reader app.
Can I add media to a PDF?+
Yes. With FlipLink you can add background audio that plays inline as the reader flips through, and add clickable links to videos hosted elsewhere. A catalog, magazine, or manual keeps people engaged inside the document while still pointing them to the resources you choose.
Can I see how people interact with my PDF?+
Yes. Every interactive link comes with analytics, so you can see views, time spent on each page, clicks, and the reader's device and location — useful for catalogs, proposals, and training where engagement matters.
Is it free to make an interactive PDF?+
Yes — you can build and share interactive documents on the free trial with no credit card. It is also included in every paid plan and the one-time lifetime deal, which covers 100 active documents for $129.
