Design & interactivity

Adding interactive elements

Links, video, audio, images/GIFs, iframes, and text popups on top of flipbook pages.

Interactive elements keep readers engaged and lead them to your store, forms, or WhatsApp. Open the editor → Interactive tab.

Element types

ElementExample use
LinkPick a type: Web (your store), Email (opens the mail app, optionally with a subject), Phone (calls straight from a phone), or WhatsApp (number plus a first message)
Go to pageA clickable table of contents, a "See the offer" button to page 12
VideoYouTube, Vimeo, or an .mp4 / .webm file: in a window, or played right on the page (optionally starting muted when the page opens)
AudioNarration, music, or pronunciation for learning material (upload a file or use its address)
Image / GIFA "New!" sticker, product animation, discount badge
Web iframeGoogle Maps, Google Forms, a calendar, or any other web page: in a window, or shown right on the page
Text popupExtra details shown on click, such as product specifications

How to add one

  1. Pick a page with Choose page.
  2. Click the element type you want; it appears on the page.
  3. Drag and resize it right on the page. Tip: arrow keys move it, Shift+arrow moves further, Delete removes it.
  4. Fill in its settings in the panel (link address, video, and so on). The optional Label shows on hover.

If an element is incomplete (for example a link without an address), the editor shows the count at the top.

Links inside your PDF stay clickable too; anflip reads them automatically during conversion. Every link is checked with Google Safe Browsing to protect readers from dangerous sites.

Your own files or a link

For Image, Audio, and Video you can use your own files. Click Choose a picture/audio/video (for audio and video, pick My files first), then upload from your device or reuse a file you uploaded before. Every file is kept in Storage → Media, works in any flipbook, and counts toward your plan's storage. Video and audio can still use a Link (such as YouTube).

Playing on the page

Turn on Play on the page for a video (or Show on the page for an iframe) to show it in the area you marked, like something pasted on the paper. Videos and maps only load when their page opens and stop when the page turns, so the flipbook stays light. Autoplay without sound starts the video on its own; readers can turn the sound on.

Seeing the result

Click View to try it. Clicks on each element are counted in statistics, so you know which buttons work best.
