Why publish a PowerPoint as a flipbook?
Sending a PPTX has drawbacks: the recipient needs PowerPoint or a compatible app, fonts and layout change from one computer to another, and files with photos are too heavy for email. A flipbook opens instantly in the browser, looks exactly the same on desktop and mobile and is shared with a short link.
ToolStudio converts your presentation on the server with the same engine office suites use, then prepares it as a flipbook in your browser: each slide becomes a page, links are kept and you choose the transition (page turn, slide, fade, zoom or 3D cube).
It is ideal for sales decks, client proposals, reports, training or pitch decks: the recipient downloads nothing and you see in "My flipbooks" how many times it was opened.
How do you turn a PowerPoint into a flipbook?
- Drop your presentation (.pptx, .ppt or .odp) on the page.
- We convert it on the server and prepare it in your browser; it takes a few seconds.
- Pick the title, transition and background, and check the preview.
- Click "Publish" and copy the link, the embed code or the QR code.
Presentations that work better as flipbooks

- Automatic table of contents from the PDF bookmarks, plus thumbnails of every page.
- Zoom, full screen, and navigation with the keyboard, arrows or a swipe.
- Short share link, <iframe> embed code and a downloadable QR code.
- View counter in "My flipbooks", and the option to appear on Google after a review.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which formats can I upload?
PowerPoint (.pptx, .ppt, .ppsx, .pps, .pptm) and LibreOffice Impress (.odp), up to 200 MB. If your presentation is in Keynote or Google Slides, export it to PowerPoint or PDF.
Are animations and videos kept?
No: the flipbook shows each slide as it ends up, without in-slide animations or videos. You choose the transitions between pages in the flipbook.
Do fonts look the same?
Common fonts (Calibri, Arial, Times…) do. If you use an unusual font, embed it when saving in PowerPoint or export the presentation to PDF and upload it in "PDF to flipbook".
Do you keep my presentation?
No. The file is converted and deleted as soon as you get the PDF. Only the page images of the flipbook you publish are hosted, and you can delete them anytime.
Is it free to create a flipbook?
Creating an account is free and comes with 20 gift credits. Publishing a flipbook costs 4 credits, and a free account can keep one published flipbook of up to 50 pages, which shows the ToolStudio badge and ads. With purchased credits you get up to 5 flipbooks of 300 pages, and with ToolStudio Pro (€2.99/month) you publish up to 100 flipbooks of 1,000 pages without spending credits and with no ads for your readers.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
The PDF isn't: it is opened and converted in your browser. So other people can see your flipbook, we upload the page images, their text and their links, and host them on ToolStudio. You can delete the flipbook anytime from "My flipbooks" and its files are removed.
Can I embed the flipbook on my website?
Yes. When you publish it you get an <iframe> code that works in WordPress (Custom HTML block), Wix (Embed code), Shopify, Squarespace, Webflow, Blogger or any HTML page. It fits the page width and can be opened full screen.
Does it look good on phones?
Yes. On narrow screens the flipbook shows one page at a time, turns with a swipe and can be zoomed. Pages load progressively, so even long catalogs open quickly.
Will my flipbook appear on Google?
Not by default: it is published "link only", so only people who get the link can see it. If you want it to be findable on Google, mark it as public in "My flipbooks"; we review it and, once approved, its page includes the document text so search engines can read it.
What about password-protected PDFs?
PDFs with an opening password can't be converted. Remove the password with the program you made it with and try again.
