If you have a high resolution PDF of your magazine, brochure or newspaper, it is a simple process to convert this PDF to flipbook format. All you need to do is create an account in our browser based portal (a 1-step process) then drag and drop your PDF in.

Even really large, high resolution pages are converted into stunning yet efficient web sized HTML pages for optimal delivery to any device. There is no need to compress your PDF when using Realview for your digital publishing.

Once the automatic conversion is completed in just a few minutes, you simply copy and paste widget code to embed your flipbook onto your website, or to share via social media.

Your interactive flipbook is viewable on any device

The same rich pages that are available on desktop are also available on your tablet and mobile phone. Swipe, pinch zoom and auto-rotation are standard functionality with all the interactivity available at the touch of a button.

The Realview solution does not use flash, so your readers get the same beautiful reading experience not matter what device they are reading on. 

Realview takes into account the different ways people are consuming media today on different devices, and provides consumers with an consistent experience acknowledging the range of devices they are using – a sliding page rather than a flipping page.

Track your flipbook usage with comprehensive analytics

A flipbook created with Realview is tracked in several ways, but the easiest and most comprehensive is through Google Analytics. By simply entering your Google analytics UA code, all reader behavior is recorded so you can see exactly how your readers are interacting with your flipbook. All of the basics such as hits, visits and time spent are recorded, but Realview takes the analytics a step further, recording things such as:

  • Page turns
  • Page zooms
  • Which hyperlinks were clicked
  • Each time the back issues, all pages, help or a share buttons is pressed
  • Search terms readers are entering
  • Which pages are being printed
