Sharing

Share your PDF flipbook with a link, embed or QR code

Send a shareable link

Give readers one link to open your flipbook in their browser. Add it to an email, a message or your website.

Embed a flipbook on your website

Copy the iframe code and paste it into a page that supports custom HTML embeds. Readers can browse your document directly on your site.

Create a QR code for your flipbook

Download a QR code for print materials, packaging or presentations. You can add a logo to the QR code before downloading it.

Links, embeds and QR codes point to the same flipbook. Claim it before expiry if you want to keep using them after 7 days.

The embed code is ordinary HTML, so it goes anywhere that accepts a custom HTML block — a WordPress, Shopify or Webflow page, for instance, or your own template.

Upload a PDF up to 50 MB. Free anonymous flipbooks display Cattalog branding.

Page limits apply to PDF uploads, not to catalogs you build

An anonymous conversion includes the first 50 pages. With a free Cattalog account a static flipbook can include up to 100 pages, and you can publish 5 of them; Pro and Business raise both.

A catalog you build in Cattalog from a spreadsheet has no page limit at all — the examples above include a 1,075 page catalog. The limit is a property of uploaded PDFs, not of sharing.

Questions

PDF to flipbook, answered

What is a PDF flipbook?

A PDF flipbook presents your document in an online viewer with page-by-page navigation. You can share it as a link or embed it on a website.

How do I convert a PDF to a flipbook for free?

Upload a PDF up to 50 MB, preview the converted pages and choose a title and reading effect. You can then copy a share link, embed code or QR code without creating an account.

Do I need to sign up?

No. You can upload, customize and share anonymously. To keep the flipbook beyond 7 days, create an account or log in and claim it before it expires.

How long will my flipbook stay online?

Anonymous flipbooks are deleted after 7 days. Claim yours before the displayed deletion date to keep it permanently in your Cattalog account.

What happens if my PDF has more than 50 pages?

Only the first 50 pages are included in the anonymous flipbook. We show a notice if your document was shortened. Claiming the flipbook keeps that converted version; it does not restore the omitted pages. With a free Cattalog account, a static flipbook you upload can include up to 100 pages, and paid plans allow more.

Is there a page limit for catalogs I build in Cattalog?

No. The page limit applies only to static flipbooks converted from a PDF you upload. A catalog you build in Cattalog from your spreadsheet and product images has no page limit — the examples on this page include a 1,075 page catalog.

Can I embed the flipbook on my website?

Yes. Copy the generated iframe code into a custom HTML or embed block on your website. The embed uses the same publication as your share link.

Can I add my logo to the QR code?

Yes. Choose a logo on your device and add it to the QR image before downloading it. QR generation and logo composition happen in your browser. This does not change the branding inside the flipbook.

Is the anonymous flipbook watermark-free?

No. Anonymous flipbooks display Cattalog branding. After claiming, you can manage available publication settings inside Cattalog.

Can I password-protect the anonymous flipbook?

Not before claiming it. Anyone with the share link can open it. Claim the flipbook to manage available access settings inside Cattalog.

Can readers download or print the PDF?

PDF downloading and printing cannot be enabled through this anonymous tool. Claim the flipbook to manage available publication settings inside Cattalog.

Does the QR code expire?

The QR image continues to contain the same URL, but the flipbook it points to is deleted after 7 days unless you claim it. Claim it before expiry to keep the destination available.
