WordPress FlipBook By iberezansky 1.15.2

The 3D FlipBook plugin by iberezansky is one of the most popular and technically advanced PDF viewers for WordPress. It is designed to transform flat PDFs, images, and HTML content into realistic, interactive 3D books with a natural flipping effect.

While there are many "flipbook" plugins, iberezansky's version is specifically known for its physics engine, which simulates how real paper behaves (including page thickness and flexible corner dragging).

Key Features

Physics-Powered Animation: It doesn't just "slide" pages; it calculates deformation and physics in real-time, meaning pages bend and respond to your mouse/touch naturally.

Multiple Source Types: You can create flipbooks from:

PDFs: The most common use—just provide the URL.

Images: Turn a gallery of photos into a photo album.

HTML: Create interactive books where the "pages" are actually live web content.

Performance Optimized: It uses a "smart loading" system. It only loads the pages a user is currently looking at (plus a few predicted upcoming pages) to save hosting bandwidth.

Deep Customization: You can adjust page thickness, "flexibility," lighting, shadows, and even the sound of the page turning.

Skin & Template Support: Comes with light and dark themes and allows you to build custom templates for different types of content (e.g., a "Glossy Magazine" vs. an "Old Book").

Pro vs. Free Version

The developer offers a robust free version on WordPress.org and a "Pro" version on CodeCanyon.

How to Use It

Add New Book: In your WordPress dashboard, go to 3D FlipBook > Add New.

Upload Content: Provide your PDF URL or select images.

Configure: Choose your "Style" (Flat vs. Volume) and "Skin."

Insert: Use the generated shortcode or the dedicated Elementor/WPBakery block to place the book on your page.

Why choose this over others?

Accuracy: If you want the book to look like a physical object with thickness and perspective, this is the best option.

SEO: Unlike some "Flash-style" legacy plugins, this uses WebGL and HTML5, which are mobile-friendly and search-engine readable.

Price: The Pro version is a one-time payment (usually around $39-$49), whereas many competitors (like FlippingBook) use high-cost monthly subscriptions.
