Flipsnack is a digital publishing platform for brochures, catalogs and magazines that are meant to be read online. Instead of a static PDF, readers get an interactive flipbook with page-turning animation that works on any device.
You can upload an existing PDF or design a brochure from scratch in Flipsnack’s built-in design studio, which works a bit like Canva but is purpose-built for multi-page publications. Key features include:
- PDF-to-flipbook conversion
- A browser-based design studio with templates
- Videos, links, slideshows, forms and shoppable product tags
- Branding controls, custom domains and white-label options on higher plans
- Analytics on views, clicks and time spent
- Sharing by link, QR code, email or embed, with password protection
The free plan allows 5 flipbooks of up to 15 pages, with Flipsnack branding and watermarked downloads. Pro costs about $38 per month billed annually ($52 monthly) and allows 50 flipbooks of 200 pages with analytics and lead capture. Business costs about $85 per month billed annually ($109 monthly) and adds custom domains, white-labeling and team members. Enterprise is custom.
Flipsnack is pricier than general design tools and isn’t aimed at printed brochures. For online brochures and catalogs that need interactivity and tracking, it’s a leading choice.
