Turn a PDF into a page-turning flip book
You have a brochure, catalog or report as a PDF, and you'd like people to page through it in a browser the way they would a printed magazine. Sending a plain PDF doesn't give you that. PDF to HTML5 Flip Book Converter from PDFLogic converts your PDF into a flip book, or into plain HTML4 or HTML5 web pages, with a few clicks.

Key features
Five book styles, including a magazine look
You pick from traditional, modern, basic, double-page and magazine styles. The magazine style is meant to feel like reading a magazine rather than viewing a PDF. You can also add a slider at the bottom for faster page navigation.
Two ways to build the book
You can create an animated flip book with embedded images. You can also create one in pure HTML5 pages without embedded images. Image formats include PNG, JPEG, TIFF, BMP and GIF, and you can set the pixel resolution of the images.
Batch conversion of whole folders
Point the converter at a folder of PDFs and it turns them all into flip books. You choose the file names of the resulting books.
Plain HTML4 or HTML5 output when you don't want a flip book
The same tool converts a PDF to ordinary HTML4 or HTML5 web pages. The vendor describes the conversion as high-fidelity.
Who it's for
It suits web designers and anyone who regularly publishes PDF documents online and wants them readable on desktop and mobile browsers. The flip books work in Chrome, Edge, Internet Explorer, Safari, Opera and other browsers.
