Upload your PDF

From your dashboard, click the upload area or drag your PDF in. pdfonweb accepts any PDF up to 200 MB. Your file is uploaded securely and never shared with other users.

Wait about 60 seconds

pdfonweb renders every page of your PDF into high-quality images and builds the interactive flipbook. You can see progress on the card in your dashboard.

Larger PDFs (100+ pages) may take 2-3 minutes. You can leave the tab and come back.

Share your flipbook link

Your flipbook is live at username.pdfonweb.com/v/your-document-name. Copy the link from your dashboard and share it anywhere — email, WhatsApp, social media, or embed it on your website.

Anyone with the link can view the flipbook — no account or download required.

(Optional) Let AI redesign it

If your PDF looks plain, click the AI redesign button. Our AI completely redesigns the document with a professional layout and typography — all from your original text content.

AI redesign costs 10 BU coins. You start with 15 free coins, so your first redesign is free.

Frequently asked questions

Is it really free to convert a PDF to a flipbook?

Yes. The free plan gives you unlimited flipbooks with no time limit and no credit card required. Free flipbooks carry a light pdfonweb mark — upgrade to Pro ($20/month) to remove it.

How long does it take to convert a PDF to a flipbook?

Most PDFs are ready in 60-90 seconds. Longer documents (100+ pages) may take 2-3 minutes.

What is the maximum PDF file size?

pdfonweb accepts PDFs up to 200 MB. For very large files, we recommend compressing the PDF first using a tool like ilovepdf.com.

Can I convert a scanned PDF (image-only) to a flipbook?

Yes. Scanned PDFs become flipbooks just like regular PDFs. The AI redesign feature works best with text-based PDFs, but scanning is supported.

Does the flipbook work on mobile devices?

Yes. pdfonweb flipbooks are designed mobile-first. They work in any browser on iPhone, Android, tablet or desktop — no app needed.

Can I update the PDF after creating the flipbook?

Yes. Upload a new version and the link stays the same — so any QR codes or shared links keep working.
