I love the one time fee and unlimited usage, the option to host my own flipbooks with my own URL and without the FlipBuilder watermarks makes my flipbooks more professional than some much larger companies. The choice of options is amazing, and I look forward to newer options coming in the future. Would and have recommend to anyone looking at creating flipbooks.

Easy to use software that delivers great results. I can easily customize the output to get the flipbook to look the way I want. It is a very quick way to create a flipbook that I can post on my website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flipbuilder?

When I post multiple flipbooks to the same website, the numerous generic files are duplicated. It would be better if the non-specific files could be put in a common directory.

Network changes can invalidate the license. However their tech support is quick to resolve the problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flipbuilder?

Flipbuilder was really simple to learn; I'm sure I'm not even using all the available features. I'm able to quickly build flipbooks for my clients to display on their websites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't think of anything that I don't like about the product. There are a ton of features and I really haven't even scratched the surface of what is available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flipbuilder solving and how is that benefiting you?

Many times my clients need to be able to display program guides, catalogs, visitor guides, etc. on their website. While I'm a nerdy, techy person, I don't have the time or ability to learn every last detail. The price was exactly right for Flipbuilder and it allows me to accomplish processes for my clients without having to keep up on another new skill. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flipbuilder?

The process of uploading a PDF to the Flip PDF dashboard is incredibly simple. The upload can be time consuming based on how large your pdf file is. Mine is quite large since it's a catalog; however, all you have to do is simply browse to the designated location of your file and its automatically placed in a template. There are plenty of templates to choose from if you aren't satisfied with the default template. The dashboard also allows you to seamlessly switch between a PC view and Mobile view mode so that you can see how your book will be displayed before it's published. There are many export options when publishing your PDF. We typically create Flash/Html files when generating our books; however, you can import to email, ftp, exe format, Zip files and more. How you host your file(s) is totally up to you. All of your files are also neatly packaged in a file after export. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flipbuilder?

The toolbar in the dashboard is pretty clunky and filled with tons of settings that will likely not be used. The settings provide a slight edge in customization; however, you have to weed through a lot just find what you need. Creating a search bar is a must for us. We like our customers to be able to search numbers and keywords found within the book and Flip PDF does a decent job of making this accessible; however, this setting is buggy and there are often entire sections of our book that aren't searchable even though we ensure that this setting is toggled prior to exporting. This biggest issue I have with the software; however, is you have to reimport your entire catalog if you need to make changes to it. Individual pages cannot be updated, which is a nuisance when your catalog has over 800 pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Flipbuilder:

This review is based on the free version of the software. It's my understanding that the Pro version is more geared toward online and cloud-based use with additional features like the ability to add hyperlinks & buttons, integrate social media accounts and video content via YouTube and FLV, etc. Whether it functions better overall is unknown to me. Therefore, if you want those features, the paid option might be the way to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flipbuilder solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problems I have mentioned have ultimately remained unsolved; however, the good outweighs the bad here. The program has given us a solid platform in showcasing our catalog on our website making it more accessible to our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flipbuilder?

The finished products do really have a polish that other HTML presentations lack. It's great for giving the illusion of the tactile experience of reading a book, but also having the benefits of web content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flipbuilder?

It's still a little artificial feeling, in that it's a repetitive animation. Even though reading a book is repetitiive, there's a uniqueness in each page turn - it's hard to describe - but there's no variation in the experience in this presentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flipbuilder solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's all about differentiation in the experience of conveying information. Far more graphic in its user experience than other more traditional HTML-based presentations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flipbuilder?

Its free, and it works to create a flipbook when you need it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flipbuilder?

It is missing a lot of capabilities compared to other free options. For instance you are not able to download or print the flipbook, some might consider that a positive but when customers ask for a PDF catalog, I can no longer direct them to the flipbook.

The search function is broken in many ways, it will miss entire swaths of text, you can recreate the flipbook again and it seems to randomly choose what areas to successfully search and which to ignore completely.

You cannot edit individual pages once the flipbook is created, you must recreate the flipbook with changes and upload the entire thing again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Flipbuilder:

Give it a try, its free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flipbuilder?

Flip PDF imports large merged PDF documents and creates a user-defined interactive readable digital book, which can then be published to a designated outsource with a few clicks. This is the program's sole purpose, and in regard to that one purpose, it can't be beat. Very easy to navigate, and in my company, we publish the same daily PDF magazine every day, so I can accomplish this task through Flip PDF in a few minutes, and it is so easy to operate that I can do it by muscle memory alone. Flip PDF also allows organizations to import their own logo so the entire publication is branded with the organization's logo and not a generic publishing watermark.
