Usage

The flipbook feature is perfect for creating digital magazines, catalogs, portfolios, annual reports, and lookbooks that need a page-turning experience. Use this when you want to transform a multi-page design into an interactive presentation that mimics the experience of flipping through a physical book, making your content more engaging and shareable online.
