Virtual Bookshelf

All your PDFs on one branded bookshelf.

Every folder you create in FlipLink becomes a virtual bookshelf at its own link — a clean grid of your flipbooks and documents that visitors can browse, search, and open. Brand it, customize the layout, add your own domain and analytics, and embed it anywhere. Free.

One link for magazines, catalogs, portfolios, course libraries, and more

What your virtual bookshelf gives you

A shareable home for everything you publish — built automatically from a folder, customized in minutes.

A folder that becomes a bookshelf

Drop your flipbooks and documents into a folder and FlipLink turns it into a shareable shelf automatically — no setup, no separate page to build.

Branded and fully customizable

Add your logo, background, and favicon, set how many covers show per row and per page, turn on search, choose the sort order, and add up to two call-to-action buttons.

Your domain, your analytics

Serve the shelf on your own domain with a CNAME and connect your own Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook Pixel — all included free.

A bookshelf vs the usual workarounds

A drive folder or a links page can hold your documents — but neither looks like yours or reads like a real library.

Common questions about virtual bookshelves

What is a virtual bookshelf?+
