Static viewers for complex media.

Documents, video, image sets, collections, and browser sessions as shareable URLs.

FlipBook converts source media into a polished static viewer with fast scrubbing, thumbnail-to-full loading, microfilm-style playback, and optional Cloudflare Pages publishing.

Install Latest Release

The output is just static HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and image assets. No runtime server is required. FlipBook can publish to Cloudflare Pages and gives you back a shareable link, or it can stop at a local static export with --no-deploy.

Examples

How It Works

Convert

Feed FlipBook a PDF, Office document, image, image directory, video, collection folder, or URL.

Generate

FlipBook renders pages or frames and emits a static viewer with manifests, pages, and thumbnails.

Publish

FlipBook automatically publishes to Cloudflare Pages and hands you a shareable link.

Common Commands

Single document

flipbook report.pdf --title "Report"

Video fast scan

flipbook clip.mp4 --fps 24 --quality 88

Image directory

flipbook ./screenshots --title "Gallery"

Collection folder

flipbook --from-folder ./archive --title "Archive reel"

Local-only output

flipbook --from-folder ./archive --no-deploy --private-output-dir ./out

Browser session

flipbook https://example.com --title "Site tour" --open

Collection folders can include flipbook.json, collection.json, or manifest.json for ordering, titles, links, descriptions, tags, and source metadata.

What It Is For

FlipBook is useful when the original source format is heavier than the browsing experience needs to be. Instead of shipping an Office stack, a video player, or a full app runtime, you flatten the source into static pages and a viewer that is fast to inspect and easy to host.

That makes it a good fit for product docs, release decks, archived videos, mixed evidence folders, captured browser sessions, and any artifact where scrubbing matters more than native editing.

BrowserBox Integration

Optional Integration

FlipBook works as a standalone utility for local files. If you pass a URL instead, it uses BrowserBox to record a live web session and then publishes that capture as a static artifact.

BrowserBox requires a separate BrowserBox license for session recording mode.
