Overview

PDFs and images can be harder to browse as ordinary files on a website. This plugin presents them as flipbooks with realistic page-turn animations, giving visitors a book-like way to read digital publications. Use it to display materials such as eBooks, magazines, brochures, and portfolios within a WordPress site.

Choose viewer options to suit the publication and the way visitors will read it. The plugin offers single-page and double-page views, thumbnail navigation, and controls for customizing backgrounds, colors, and toolbar features. Its responsive design supports viewing on desktops, tablets, and smartphones, while touch and swipe navigation can be used on touchscreen devices.

Features

  • PDF and image flipbooks: Present PDFs and images as interactive flipbooks, giving visitors a page-by-page way to read digital publications on your WordPress site.
  • Page-turn animation: Use realistic page-turn effects to give readers a book-like browsing experience as they move through a publication.

Changelog

Version 5.8 — 16 October 2026

  • Security Security and stability fixes - update recommended
  • New REST API - new route GET flipbook/v1/get returns a flipbook's settings; create and update take a status (draft or publish) and return the flipbook ID, its shortcode and the saved settings
  • New REST API - settings can be sent as a JSON object (options); an update that sends only pdfUrl or title keeps all other settings
  • Improved REST API - create and update no longer download the PDF to make the lightbox thumbnail; they use the lightboxThumbnailUrl you send, or make one from a PDF in the Media Library
  • New Reader actions are sent as an r3d-event browser event, with or without Google Analytics - page views, link and hotspot clicks, PDF downloads, zoom, share, video plays and lightbox opens - so other analytics tools can track them
  • New Hotspot clicks are reported to Google Analytics (flipbook_hotspot_click)
  • New Hotspots made with the Page Editor add-on can use new marker styles (ring, plus, cart, tag, price and button), can have any shape, and their marker can sit anywhere inside the hotspot
  • Improved Light hotspot markers get a thin dark outline and the pulse around every marker has a contrasting edge, so they stay visible on light and dark pages
  • Improved The side navigation arrows use the same thin chevron as the toolbar icons
  • Improved The flipbook_zoom Google Analytics event is sent once each time the reader zooms in, not on every zoom step
  • Fixed A flipbook with a single image page opened on the loading spinner in the 3D view mode
  • Fixed With deep linking on, opening one of several flipbooks on a page in a lightbox opened all of them
  • Fixed A new flipbook did not appear in the Real3D Flipbook block or in Insert Flipbook until it was saved a second time
  • Fixed Importing flipbooks skipped flipbooks that had been saved only once
  • Fixed Resume reading did not save the page the reader had reached, so flipbooks never reopened there
  • Fixed [real3dflipbook name="..."] did not find a flipbook that had been saved only once
  • Fixed Settings - drop-down choices whose value is 0 or empty were not saved correctly
