Frequently Asked Questions

FlipLink is an online platform that transforms your static PDF files into interactive 3D flipbooks or scrollable documents. You upload a PDF, customize the experience with branding, lead capture, analytics, and sharing options, then share a single link. Your audience gets a rich, engaging viewing experience on any device.

Flipbooks use a 3D page-turning effect powered by WebGL for an immersive book-like experience with sound effects and background music. Documents use a PDF.js-based scrollable viewer with native text selection, in-document search, and slide mode. The choice is permanent at creation time and cannot be changed later.

Sign up for free, click 'Create New' on the dashboard, choose Flipbook or Document type, upload your PDF, customize settings like branding, lead capture, and privacy, then click Publish. You'll get a shareable link, QR code, and embed code instantly.

Yes, the Email Allowlist feature lets you restrict access to up to 500 specific email addresses. Only those emails can submit the lead form and access the content.
