PDF Flipbook for WordPress
Create your Flipbook plugin
Present PDFs as flipbooks on your WordPress website
Reading a PDF online often feels flat. Upload your file and the widget creates a realistic page-flip effect, so your audience can flip through pages like a real book. It suits digital catalogs, portfolios, reports and magazines.
You match the look to your brand by adjusting colors, backgrounds and toolbar options, and readers can zoom or jump to any page.
Can you try it for free? Yes. You can test all options in the Elfsight editor without registration.

Flipbook widget or a WordPress plugin?
You do not need a separate plugin: the widget goes into the standard Custom HTML block. On a single page it works the same way in classic and block themes. When you make changes in Elfsight, the widget updates on every page where the code is installed.
