PDF Flipbook is a production-ready code component that transforms any external PDF into a richly interactive flipbook viewer. Since Framer caps file uploads at 5MB, this component loads PDFs directly from a URL — so large documents, portfolios, and lookbooks work without compromise.
Choose between a classic 2-page spread with an animated page-turn effect or a clean single-page slide mode — ideal for landscape documents or mobile-friendly layouts. The component adapts intelligently: on narrow frames it automatically switches to single-page view so your mobile breakpoint just works.
A scrubber strip at the bottom gives viewers a visual index of all pages with aspect-correct thumbnails, letting them jump to any page instantly. Arrow navigation and drag-to-flip round out the interactions.
All visual properties are exposed in Framer's property panel — accent color, background, flip speed, and view mode — so you can style it to any brand without touching the code.
