History[edit]

Founded in 2004, FlippingBook started producing page-flip flash components for web developers, including a Joomla extension that turned web pages into 3D page-flipping books. Later the company launched FlippingBook Photographer, a photo album tool that allowed users to make online photo albums with a page-turning effect on Windows and Mac OS.[6]

In 2009 the company moved further and launched desktop software for Windows called FlippingBook Publisher.[7] The software converted PDFs into interactive Flash-based online flipbooks with a page-flip effect. In 2015 the company released FlippingBook Online – a web-based version for converting PDF to HTML5. Given its easy access in any browser, the tool quickly became a preferred solution among FlippingBook’s clients.[8] In 2016 FlippingBook Publisher followed suit and moved from Flash to the HTML5 technology as well.[9]
