How to make a PDF interactive

Make your PDF feel like a modern interactive PDF in 5 easy steps:

Create interactive PDF
  1. 1. Upload and edit your PDF in Flipsnack

    Use the drag-and-drop method to upload your PDF to our platform. Before adding interactivity, you can edit your PDF (currently in Beta) for updated text, replace images, rearrange pages, or make quick design adjustments, all without external tools.

  2. 2. Insert interactive elements into your PDF flipbook

    Enrich your online publication by adding videos, captions, shopping buttons, quizzes, and more clickable buttons. Increase audience engagement with any information you want to share.

  3. 3. Brand the look of your publication

    Customize every detail of your interactive PDF to match your brand. Add your logo, brand colors, and fonts, choose how pages flip, and adjust backgrounds and controls so your PDF looks and feels like a natural extension of your brand.

  4. 4. Publish, distribute, and secure your PDF

    Share your interactive PDF via public links, website embeds, or private sharing options. Control security and accessibility with unlisted links, password protection, or SSO for team-only access.

  5. 5. Check the performance of your interactive PDF

    Use built-in analytics and tracking to see how many people open and view your PDFs, what interactions they click on, average time spent reading the document, and devices used. With all this valuable data, you can make targeted changes to future content and improve the experience for your audience.

Transform PDFs into interactive, clickable experiences

Add video, audio, and clickable elements

PDFs on their own are static and lack engagement. With Flipsnack, you can edit your PDF and transform it into an interactive experience by adding:

  • video widgets or buttons
  • internal, external links or tags
  • audio files for ambiance

Highlight key information with visual interactivity

Create a clickable interactive PDF that makes key images stand out. Use visual effects to show more details without changing your layout. You can:

  • Highlight images using photo slideshows or a spotlight effect
  • Show full-size images without cluttering the page
  • Add extra details with pop-ups that open on top of the PDF
  • Embed external content using iframes or simple embed codes

I love how easy it is to embed content from other sources. Flipsnack is built for interaction. It can easily deal with external videos, iFrames, mp3s, and so more. It’s just brilliant. I love using it, and our teams are amazed by the level of interaction.
