## Description

Flipa turns any PDF into a fast, realistic **page-flip flipbook** — a PDF viewer,
PDF embed and page-flip reader in one. It renders **entirely in the visitor’s browser**,
so your file is never uploaded and **no external service** ever touches it.

Perfect for catalogs, magazines, brochures, menus, portfolios, e-books, reports 
and resumes — anywhere you’d otherwise drop in a flat PDF.

**Why Flipa**

 * **Fast & lightweight** — a smooth page-flip with no heavy 3D/WebGL engine to 
   slow your pages down. Works great on phones and tablets (two-row mobile toolbar).
 * **Privacy-first** — the PDF is served from your own site and rendered locally
   in the browser. Nothing is uploaded, and there are no third-party calls or trackers.
 * **Right-to-left, done right** — first-class Hebrew, Arabic and Persian: correct
   reading order, mirrored controls and cover behaviour.
 * **20-language viewer** — English, Hebrew, Arabic, Persian, Spanish, French, German,
   Russian, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Turkish, Ukrainian, Czech, Swedish,
   Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Hindi.
 * **Unlimited flipbooks** — free, with no page or book limits.

**Reader features**

 * Double-spread & single-page views with a realistic fold shadow.
 * Thumbnails, seek bar, zoom, fullscreen and deep-linking to a page.
 * Lightbox mode — open the book in a popup.
 * Inline (seamless, auto-height) embedding by default, or a fixed-size iframe.
 * Share the page the book is embedded on.

**Works everywhere you edit**

 * Block editor (Gutenberg) — the _Flipa Flipbook_ block.
 * Classic editor — an _Add Flipbook_ button.
 * Any shortcode: `[flipa id="123"]`.
 * Pro: Elementor / Elementor Pro & WPBakery widgets, WooCommerce product pages,
   and the `[flipa_shelf]` bookshelf grid.

**Free vs Pro**

The free plugin gives you unlimited flipbooks, the full core viewer (single/double
page, drag-to-flip, zoom, seek bar and thumbnails), all 20 interface languages with
full right-to-left support (Hebrew, Arabic, Persian), background colour, inline &
iframe embedding, lightbox, and the shortcode, block and Classic-editor integrations.
An optional “Powered by flipa” credit is off by default — it appears only if you
turn it on.

Flipa Pro adds **in-book text search** (find any word across the whole PDF, jump
to a match and highlight every hit), a nested **table of contents**, **page-flip
sounds**, **password** protection, **custom background image**, **clickable PDF 
links** (internal page jumps + web/email links), a **QR code** in Share, **page-
stack depth**, a **vertical-scroll** reading mode, **3D tilt**, and the **WooCommerce**,**
Elementor**, **WPBakery** and `[flipa_shelf]` **bookshelf** integrations.

## FAQ

### What can I turn into a flipbook?

Any PDF — catalogs, magazines, brochures, menus, e-books, portfolios, reports, resumes
and more.

### Does my PDF get uploaded anywhere?

No. The PDF is served from your own site and rendered in the visitor’s browser. 
There are no third-party services or trackers.

### Will it slow down my site?

No. Flipa uses a lightweight page-flip engine (no heavy 3D/WebGL), loads its assets
locally, and only initialises when a flipbook is on the page.

### Does it support right-to-left languages?

Yes — Hebrew, Arabic and Persian are first-class, including reading order and mirrored
navigation.

### Do links inside my PDF work?

Yes (Pro) — internal links jump to the target page; web links open in a new tab;
email links offer Gmail/Outlook/mail app.

### Will deleting the plugin remove my flipbooks?

No. Flipbooks are kept on uninstall unless you opt in (the `flipa_delete_data` option).

### 󠀁[Excellent Flipbook Plugin with Powerful Features & Easy Setup](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-flipbook-plugin-with-powerful-features-easy-setup/)󠁿

I’ve been using the free version of this plugin, and I’m genuinely impressed with
its quality and ease of use. The setup is straightforward, the interface is user-
friendly, and the flipbook effect is smooth and professional. As a WordPress developer
with 15+ years of experience, I’ve worked with many PDF flipbook plugins, and this
one stands out for its performance, customization options, and clean design. Even
the free version offers plenty of useful features for most projects, while the Pro
version includes some excellent advanced functionality that looks very promising.
The plugin integrates well with WordPress, works reliably, and the documentation
is easy to follow. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a modern PDF flipbook
solution. Great work by the development team – keep it up!

## Changelog

#### 0.13.1

 * Maintenance: updated the bundled Freemius SDK to 2.13.3 (PHP compatibility fixes
   and account/payment improvements). No change to any flipbook feature.

#### 0.13.0

 * New: In-book text search (Pro). A search box in the reader finds any word across
   the whole PDF, lists the matching pages with a snippet, jumps straight to a result,
   and highlights every match on the page. Works in page-flip and vertical-scroll
   reading modes.
 * Fix: single-page (single-spread) view no longer over-sizes the page in embedded
   flipbooks; a lone page now matches one page of the two-page spread. Mobile and
   vertical-scroll are unaffected.

#### 0.12.2

 * WordPress.org compliance: the free version no longer contains any premium feature-
   gating code. The premium feature settings and the code that turns those features
   on are now generated only into the Pro build; the free build ships clean, with
   no disabled or locked controls. No change to the free feature set.

#### 0.11.4

 * Media hotspots temporarily hidden while we finish and stabilise the feature (
   the Media tab and media rendering are switched off behind a flag; the code remains
   in place). No effect on any other feature.

#### 0.11.3

 * Media hotspots: drag to position and resize each hotspot directly on the live
   preview in the editor (no more guessing percentages). New per-video Aspect control(
   Auto / 16:9 / 9:16 vertical / 1:1 / 4:3) so vertical YouTube Shorts no longer
   letterbox — the hotspot and the popup now match the video’s shape. Fixed the 
   button hotspot showing as an empty box.

#### 0.11.2

 * Media hotspots overhauled: redesigned Media tab (clear cards — every field visible);
   a single Size % (height follows the media’s own proportions, no more squashing);
   self-hosted video (upload an MP4 from the Media Library); per-video muted Autoplay
   + Loop; the old “link” is now a styled Button (text + text/background colours
   + shape); video hotspots show a YouTube-style play button over the thumbnail (
   no more icon hiding image/button hotspots); and hotspots no longer vanish after
   a page flip.

#### 0.11.1

 * Media hotspots: hotspots now show a real thumbnail (the YouTube video still or
   the image itself) instead of a transparent box; clicking a hotspot no longer 
   accidentally turns the page; and while you edit a hotspot in the Media tab the
   live preview jumps to that hotspot’s page so you can see where it lands.

#### 0.11.0

 * New media hotspots (Pro): place clickable spots on any page to play a YouTube/
   Vimeo video, open an image or gallery, or link out. Each opens as a lightbox 
   or inline; positioned in % of the page from a new Media tab with live preview.
   Works in page-flip, vertical scroll and 3D tilt modes.

#### 0.10.2

 * WordPress.org / Plugin Check compliance: escaped the admin menu-icon CSS output,
   unslashed + sanitized all settings inputs on save, and removed the discouraged
   load_plugin_textdomain() call (translations auto-load on .org).

#### 0.10.1

 * Fix: PDFs now load on HTTPS sites even if the saved PDF URL is http:// — the 
   URL is auto-upgraded to https to avoid the browser’s mixed-content block (the“
   Could not read this PDF: Failed to fetch” error). Applied both in the renderer
   and the viewer.

#### 0.10.0

 * Free/premium build split for WordPress.org: the Pro-only integrations (Elementor,
   WPBakery, WooCommerce, and the bookshelf) now live in `__premium_only` files 
   inside `is__premium_only()` guards, so Freemius strips them from the generated
   free build while the premium build keeps everything. No change for existing Pro
   customers.

#### 0.9.8

 * 3D tilt: reverted to the clean look — the outer/spine shadows and page-stack 
   depth are hidden while tilted (they showed as detached bands on the rotated book);
   the book leans with its own built-in fold shading. Shadows and depth still appear
   in normal flip and scroll modes.

#### 0.9.7

 * 3D tilt: hides the page-stack depth while tilted (it protruded past the rotated
   book); the outer drop shadow and fold shadow stay. Depth still shows in normal
   flip and scroll modes.

#### 0.9.6

 * Editor: choosing Vertical scroll now forces Page view to Single and disables 
   the dropdown (they can’t coexist). 3D tilt keeps the outer drop shadow and fold
   shadow, flattens the page-stack depth so it leans with the book, and uses a gentler
   angle + GPU hints for sharper edges.

#### 0.9.5

 * 3D tilt polish: hides the fold shadows, page-stack depth and single-page overlay
   while tilted (they don’t compose in 3D), so the book leans cleanly. Vertical 
   scroll and 3D tilt are now mutually exclusive — turning one on turns the other
   off (in the viewer and in the editor).

#### 0.9.4

 * New 3D tilt mode (Pro): the book leans toward the reader’s cursor for a lively,
   three-dimensional feel. Enable a default under the Book tab; readers can toggle
   it from the toolbar. Disabled automatically while zoomed or in vertical-scroll
   mode.

#### 0.9.3

 * Renamed the “View toggle” control to “Spread toggle” consistently across the 
   editor’s Display tab and the viewer settings (matching the toolbar tooltip).

#### 0.9.2

 * Vertical scroll now always uses single-page rows (fixes a blank render when a
   double-spread book was opened in scroll mode); the spread toggle is hidden while
   scrolling and restored when you switch back to page-flip. Renamed the spread 
   toggle’s tooltip to “Spread toggle”.

#### 0.9.1

 * Vertical scroll mode now sizes each page to the uploaded PDF’s proportions and
   fits one full page to the viewer height, so the first page shows in full on load
   and each scroll reveals a complete page. Re-fits on resize.

#### 0.9.0

 * Vertical scroll reading mode (Pro): open a flipbook as a continuous top-to-bottom
   scroll. Readers can toggle between scroll and page-flip with a new toolbar button;
   clickable PDF links and zoom work in both modes.

#### 0.8.0

 * Viewer interface expanded to 20 languages (added Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, 
   Polish, Turkish, Ukrainian, Czech, Swedish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi,
   and RTL Persian).

#### 0.7.0

 * Bookmarks (Pro): visitors can save pages (kept in their browser) via a new Bookmarks
   menu, and you can add publisher bookmarks shown to everyone.

#### 0.6.0

 * Free/Pro licensing (Freemius-ready) with a clear feature split; an optional “
   Powered by flipa” credit is off by default.
 * Contents: nested two-level table of contents (foldable chapters + sub-chapters),
   light or dark menu theme, blank-page (label-only) rows.
 * Viewer polish: bundled Poppins UI font, autoplay (auto-advance with loop / autostart),
   a print button, and a “More” overflow menu to declutter the toolbar.
 * Bundled all libraries locally (no CDN) for WordPress.org compliance.

#### 0.1.0

 * Initial release: PDFflipbook engine (RTL + 7 languages), CPT + tabbed editor 
   with live preview, TOC with sections, thumbnails, seek, zoom, password, sounds,
   QR share, clickable PDF links, lightbox, bookshelf, inline/iframe rendering; 
   Gutenberg block, Elementor, WPBakery, Classic-editor button and WooCommerce integrations.
 * Free/Pro split: free includes the core viewer, RTL + 7 languages, lightbox and
   unlimited books; Pro adds the table of contents, sounds, password, custom background
   image, clickable PDF links, QR share, page-stack depth, and the WooCommerce/Elementor/
   WPBakery/bookshelf integrations. An optional “Powered by flipa” credit is off
   by default for all tiers.
