FlippingBook is a digital publishing software[1] company based in Cospicua, Malta.[2] The company was established in 2004 as a tool for creating professional online publications used in business communications.[3]

FlippingBook is best known for its two main products: FlippingBook Online, a browser-based service, and FlippingBook Publisher, powerful desktop software for Windows.[4] Since its inception, the company has served over 50,000 clients spanning across various industries, including publishing, advertising, retail, manufacturing, education, healthcare, and real estate.[5]

History

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]
