After purchasing another plugin for flipbooks that was a pain to work with I was already pretty doubting if I should purchase this. However it turns out to be good, easy and fast in use!! It can work with large PDF’s en you not have to buy another seperate plugin for that purpose. Furthermore it has a great overview over the books and last but not least my PDF’s are shown in a great way on the site.

Real3D Flipbook transforms your documents into ultra realistic 3D flipbooks with page flip animations, lights and shadows. Easy to use and fully customizable. No flash needed, 100% HTML5. No server side conversion, everything is done at runtime, you just set the pdf file url or images. It supports dynamic HTML content on pages, add youtube video, text, image, link, iframe and style it with inline CSS. Pdf flipbook supports internal and external links and text search with keyword highlighting. It comes with multiple view modes : realistic WebGL mode, fast 3D & 2D mode (CSS only) and Swipe mode with horizontal swipe page transitions. You can choose different view mode for mobile and desktop. It is a mature product that offers the best reading experience on all platforms and devices. All future updates are free. Source files and documentation included.
Real3D Flipbook uses WebGL to create ultra realistic 3D flipbooks with page bending, shiny pages, lights and shadows.
Ultra fast and lightweight flipbook made with CSS3, without use of WebGL. If your priority is fast page loding and high performance then CSS flipbook is the best option.
Touch friendly swipe mode can be used only on mobile or as default viewer. Swipe mode displays documents with horizontal swipe instead of flip, which is more natural on mobile devices. Swipe mode detects screen size and orientation to display single page or double page layout.
Real3D Flipbook fits perfectly in any theme because you can customize the user interface completely. You can change menu colors, button colors, shape, size, border, shadows and hide buttons you don’t need.
Each menu button can be positioned left, right or center, top or bottom. Top and bottom menu bars can be full width, centered or transparent. Buttons on transparent menu bar can have different design then regular buttons. Order of buttons is customizable. Choose from 3 predefined skins and 4 predefined UI layouts. Choose between Font Awesome and Material icons sets. Use advanced UI options to further customize everything.
Real3D flipbook works well on all platforms – desktop & mobile. The default WebGL mode offers realistic 3D page flip animations with page bending, lights and shadows. This mode is supported on desktop browsers. There is alternative CSS3D mode that uses only CSS3 animations. There is also the Single page mode that can be used as default or only on mobile devices.
With lightbox mode you can put a text link or an image link anywhere on your site and by clicking on a link the flipbook will be opened in a lightbox. This way you can have multiple books / magazines / brochures on the same page.
Responsive mode creates a flipbook with optional size that can be put anywhere inside a page or post.
With Fullscreen mode the flipbook will cover the entire page
Link to specific page from the URL, for example open book at page 2 http://pageflip.com.hr/#page2
Flipbook layout can be changed based on the device type. Besides the standard double page view, there is a single page view that can be used either on mobile devices or both on desktop and mobile. Single page view offers better reading experience on smaller screens but still keeps the 3D flipping effect and shadows.
