### "My trusted companion since more than 13 years"
October 8, 2024
5.0
How above stated my experience is very positive and I still use it till this product should be available in the market, because I can easily create my interactive books in a blink of an eye, just reusing my custo settings.
Pros
Fliphtml5 have been my trusted companion since more than 13 year ago today. I started using it when it had another name and had a part in flash and other in HTML. What I liked at first use was the smoothness of page animation. I still love it today and I never change this software just for this feature. Said so, I can talk for hour about the whole feature I used such as Page Editor or Animation Editor which gave you the chance to create whatever you like. Once you could also add an animated character that simulated the explication of the text you added in the page via audio file. But I think the limit is still your fantasy because you can customize product to your brand also adding a clickable logo. You can save settings and reuse it in other products as well as you can do with TOC and animation which can export both. Well, I just stop here to invite you giving a try to this software.
Cons
The only thing I don't like at all is that I can create the UI of my products in a language at time using the PC based version, while you can make multilingual only in online editing projects.

### "A must for self publishers!"
November 13, 2025
5.0
Excellent! Afterservice and support is the biggest issue with platforms these days. I can honestly say that the feedback and support has been nothing but stellar!
Pros
Ease of use. The system is straightforward to use and has each and every feature you can think of, just what I needed
Cons
Not much really. I would like to see a few technical upgrades but that is specific to my own projects. I have escalated this to them and they are happy to look into it for me

### "Simple and Effective Solution for Digital Catalogs"
March 17, 2026
4.0
Overall, our experience with FlipHTML5 has been very positive. It’s a straightforward and reliable platform for turning PDFs into interactive digital catalogs.
Pros
The platform is very easy to use and requires little setup time. We’re able to quickly upload our catalogs and convert them into clean, professional flipbooks. Sharing with clients is simple, and the finished product looks polished across both desktop and mobile devices.
Cons
There are no major issues so far. As we continue to use the platform more, additional customization options could be helpful for more advanced needs.

We switched for better value, ease of use, and a more designer-focused experience. FlipHTML5 provides a more efficient workflow and flexible design options, making it easier to create polished, branded catalogs.

### "SOFTWARE HAS PROBLEMS "
July 27, 2020
2.0
Support has been very poor .. Issues and complaints were sent to support who promised to look into them but never got back to us . We plan to cancel .
Pros
It is easy to upload .. but very difficult for customers to downlaod See below ..
Cons
We have nothing but complaints from customers when they try to pay for one of our books . They are unable to down load the booklet and can extreme difficulty when using pay pal. Support promised many times to address the issue but has not gotten back to us . We had the same issues a few years ago and cancelled . We figured this year we would try again but very sorry to say we still have complaints from customers and probably cancel again in the next few days . Just can't have customers complaining they are unable to download. GS Prs.

### "I finally have found a nice place for my books!"
January 27, 2025
5.0
Positive, there is an AI chatbot, it has answered all my questions!
Pros
I have written a number of books for children with dyslexia to help them to overcome the deficiency. I was looking for the platform where I can place my books for viewing by readers and with the possibility to sell my books if the readers will like it. I tried at first publuu, but they can not provide me with the option to sell my book. FlipHtml5 can! I have found a place where I can place a book for reading and selling! WoW! Thank you FlipHTML5! You really care about the authors!
Cons
Nothing wrong as of now. I needed some explanations about how to sell my book

### "Fantastic tool for creating digital flip PDFs"
November 13, 2024
5.0
I'm personally very happy with the capabilities and performance of FlipHTML5 – highly recommended!
Pros
FlipHTML5 is a fantastic tool for creating digital flip PDFs and clearly stands out from other similar software. The platform is user-friendly – you can get started right away without complicated instructions. What makes it even better is that FlipHTML5 truly offers more features and settings than other tools I have tried. The security options are also very convenient for protecting your content, and the integrated sales function makes it easy to sell directly.
Cons
I had a little problem with de payment. But the helpdesk fixed it as soon as possible.

### "Incredible service and company "
October 31, 2024
5.0
Incredible! Super responsive and lots of options. Easy to use.
Pros
FlipHTML5 is a super easy to use and works great from my needs. They are also very responsive which is helpful as it was my first time using a flip book and I needed some troubleshooting. Plus, as a non-profit they were very charitable, something other companies out there were not willing to do! I'd use again anytime and highly recommend!!
Cons
No cons, I am happy with everything about the service.

### "FlipHTML5: Transforming PDFs into Interactive Masterpieces "
January 23, 2025
5.0
In brief, I really like using FlipHTML5. It seems I cannot stop it once I start using it. I can use it for hours when I have a new book design and explore its features that can make the book more attractive and interesting.
Pros
I like FlipHTML5 because of its easy-used feature, especially for people like me who is far left behind in this fast-changing world of technology. By using FlipHTML5, I can design digital books - flipbooks- that look like printed books. And even when I want to move on to the next pages, I can just swipe the pages, like when I swipe the pages in the printed books. Besides, I can also easily insert audios and videos in the flipbooks that I have designed. It's so amazing for me, since I've never imagined that it's only a matter of 'a click of fingers" to operate audios, and even videos, in the books. So FlipHTML5 makes our life much easier by enabling us bringing a lot of information in the form of Links in our gadgets.
Cons
In terms of FlipHTML5 features, there is nothing that makes me unhappy. All the features amaze me and cannot stop me in using them.

### "Great Experience of digital magazine "
December 1, 2024
5.0
FlipHTML5 is an excellent investment for anyone serious about digital publishing. The platform’s versatility allows me to cater to various audiences with interactive and engaging content. The analytics feature helps me understand reader behavior and improve my future issues. Plus, the support team is responsive and helpful. It’s a practical, user-friendly solution that delivers great value for its price!
Pros
Using FlipHTML5 to create my first digital magazine was incredibly easy. The platform’s tools are intuitive, even for someone like me with no prior design experience. I appreciated the variety of templates and the option to customize everything to match my branding. The flip-page effect adds a professional touch, and embedding multimedia elements was straightforward. I couldn’t have asked for a better tool for creating digital publications!
Cons
They have developed so much as updated software....hope they would update appearance of video on the page its self.

### "Fliphtml5 leaves nothing to be desired."
June 6, 2023
5.0
Fliphtml5 meets all my expectations of an application for creating online books. Besides the possibility to create impressive layouts, Fliphtml5 offers the possibility to publish the books on your own server or to download them as an App for Windows and Mac. Readers can add their own notes and bookmarks. Depending on the configuration you choose, the books can be downloaded or printed. The content can be enhanced with links and videos. From my point of view, fliphtml5 leaves nothing to be desired.
Pros

FlipHTML5 - has been an amazing product for our organization, saving us thousands in printing cost and wasted paper. Our event program books look great in this product and so easy to share with our attendees, clients and volunteers. The best part is that it is so easy to use and upload our files, providing QR codes and links that work with a click. On the back end we can review the analytics and allow us to follow up and share. Great product and worth every penny! One more thing customer support is a 10!

I want to add interactivity to our conservation books. This absolutely gives me the opportunity to add it in ways better than I had imagined.
Pros
After testing multiple platforms, I was actually astonished to find Flip HTML5. The interface, ease of use, expansive features, and price made me raise an eyebrow and put a huge smile on my face. I found exactly what I had been looking for.
Cons
While they give you a free version that you can test on, it has limited functionality. I wish they could let you test out any version for a limited time.

### "I Love the Way My Audience Flips Over Fliphtml5!"
July 27, 2020
5.0
My overall experience with FlipHTML5, has been great! It has allowed me to do pretty much all that I have imagined. I am truly grateful to have discovered FlipHTML5 to fulfill my vision for my 21 century youth literacy program.
Pros
What I love most about this software is how much it resembles reading a book in real life. I have digital youth sports magazine and my audience is children. My parents tell me I ve gotten the kids back into reading again all because of the page flipping sound. I’ve had to tell young readers,”ok stop flipping and read something!”
Cons
There hasn’t been very much that I didn’t like.
Reason for choosing FlipHTML5
It fit into my vision. There was nothing out there like that for youths.

### "Fast and wonderful way to share publications"
July 24, 2020
5.0
It's a crucial piece of software for those in the publishing industry. It's often difficult to share work when many clients either don't have a PDF reader, or don't know how to use it, preventing them from seeing our layouts as intended. With fliphtml5, we don't have to worry that our PDF attachment is too big to email, as we can simply send the client a link. We don't have to hope that our clients have PDF readers installed, as most browsers can view the links without the need of additional software.
Pros
Ease of use - simply being able to upload our PDFs into a format that accounts for a front page and interactive page-turning is absolutely necessary for a traditional magazine attempting to navigate a more digital world.
Cons
We believe that by default, if a business were to use this software, their uploads should be automatically protected and secured. However, even with a paid subscription, it seems like we have to pay more in order to prevent Google from indexing our files. We are happy that the ability is there but feel it should be included in at least the very basic plan.
