Flipbook Design Customization Options:

1. Background Customization: Choose a single colour, opt for a gradient effect with two colors, or set an image as the background of your flipbook viewer.

 

2. Navigational Bar Customization: Customize the appearance of the navigational bars at the top and bottom of your flipbook viewer. Select their colour(s) (whether solid or gradient) as well as the thickness and colour of their borders.

 

3. Shadows on Pages: Decide whether to include shadows on the pages for added visual depth.

 

4. Flip Sound: Enabling this option gives your flipbook pages a flip-sound when your readers turn the pages.

 

5. Hardcover Option: Enabling this option gives your flipbook pages a hardcover appearance when your readers turn the pages.

 

6. Right-to-Left OrientationIf enabled, readers will read your flipbook from right to left instead of from left to right. This reading orientation is used in languages, such as Arabic, Hebrew, Kurdish, Persian and others

 

7. Flipbook Display Preference: This setting decides the display of the flipbook in the flipbook viewer.

      • Automatic (Smart Display) is the default setting. It provides the best display solution based on your reader's screen size and your flipbook dimensions for improved readability.
      • Single Page View always shows one page at a time, regardless of the device or browser size.
      • Double Page View always shows two pages at a time, regardless of the device or browser size. We do not recommend this setting for flipbooks intended to be viewed on mobile devices.
8. Background Music: Add background music to your flipbook for an additional sensory experience. Choose whether your background music should autoplay when readers open your flipbook and whether the music should loop when the sound file is finished.

 

9. Logo Integration: Add your own logo to appear during the loading of your flipbook, contributing to a branded and professional presentation.
