Please note: this is a general overview that shows both free and Pro features together, and it does not indicate which is which. To see exactly what is included in the free plugin versus Pro, check the “Use cases” and “TNC FlipBook 3D Pro” sections just below. #### Features * Realistic 3D WebGL page flip with physics * 2D CSS fallback for older devices * PDF and image sources * Clickable PDF hyperlinks (internal + external) * PDF text search with highlighting * Table of contents / PDF outline * Thumbnail navigation panel * 4 viewing modes: 3D, vertical scroll, horizontal scroll, reading mode * Dark and light theme toggle with 7 color schemes * Print, download, social sharing * Autoplay with speed control * Fullscreen mode * Lightbox popup mode * Deep linking (shareable page URLs via #page/N) * RTL support for Arabic, Hebrew, and more * 20 languages included * Gutenberg blocks + shortcodes * Per-flipbook toolbar customization * Keyboard navigation * Responsive design * Unlimited flipbooks, unlimited pages * No watermark, no branding #### Use cases Turn a PDF you already have into something readers tap, explore, and act on. A few popular ways to use it: Free: * Digital magazines and newsletters – publish each issue as a real page-turning read with a contents list, search, and shareable links to any page. * Restaurant and cafe menus – put your menu online as a book that looks right on phones. Swap the PDF and it updates everywhere. * Course materials and workbooks – give students textbooks and handouts they can read, search, and flip through on any device. * Portfolios and lookbooks – photographers, designers, and studios show their work as a clean flip-through instead of a plain download. * Annual reports and company profiles – turn a long report into an easy, on-brand reading experience. * Travel guides and brochures – let visitors browse your destination guide like a printed booklet. With Pro: * Shoppable catalogs – add clickable spots to any product in your catalog so a shopper taps an item and goes straight to the product page or their cart. Your print catalog starts selling. * Real estate brochures – mark rooms, units, or plots right on the page, and let buyers tap for details or send an inquiry without leaving the flipbook. * Lead magnets and gated guides – offer a free guide, lookbook, or whitepaper and ask for an email before the reader unlocks it, so every download grows your list. * Sell ebooks and premium PDFs – lock a FlipBook behind a WooCommerce product so only buyers can read it. Great for ebooks, reports, back issues, and course packs. #### TNC FlipBook 3D Pro Need more? The Pro version adds: * More interface languages * All color schemes plus brand and hardcover colors * Merge multiple PDFs with named chapters * Interactive hotspots (links, media, and products) * AI read-aloud with premium voices * Content protection and watermarks * WooCommerce page gating * Google Analytics 4 tracking * Export and import flipbooks * Page video overlays * PDF form viewer * User bookmarks and notes * Priority support [See Pro plans](https://tncflipbook.com/pricing/?utm_source=wordpress.org&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=upgrade) #### Add-ons Add-ons add extra features and integrations to TNC FlipBook 3D. They work with both the free and Pro versions, and Pro plans include a few of them complimentary: * Page builder elements for Elementor, WPBakery, Avada, Beaver Builder, Bricks, and Breakdance * Bookshelf – display your FlipBooks as a browsable, searchable library * Membership, LMS, and e-commerce access control (MemberPress, LearnDash, Easy Digital Downloads, and more) * AI Chatbot, Lead Capture, SEO & AI Search, PDF Stamper, Monetize, and self-hosted Analytics [Browse the add-ons](https://tncflipbook.com/addons/?utm_source=wordpress.org&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=addons) #### Why TNC FlipBook 3D? * **PDF links and search included** — both work out of the box * **WebGL 3D rendering** — page flip with paper-bend physics * **Smart fallback** — uses a lightweight 2D mode when WebGL is unavailable * **Modern admin** — Clean wizard-based setup, no confusing settings * **Developer friendly** — Clean code, no jQuery dependency on frontend, REST API proxy for secure file serving #### Embedding Options 1. **Shortcode (inline):** `[tnc-flipbook-3d-embed id="123"]` 2. **Shortcode (popup link):** `[tnc-flipbook-3d-link id="123"]Click to read[/tnc- flipbook-3d-link]` 3. **Gutenberg Embed Block:** Search “Flipbook” in the block inserter 4. **Gutenberg Link Block:** Insert a clickable link that opens a flipbook popup 5. **Direct URL:** Each flipbook has its own permalink at `/flipbook/your-book/` ### External Services This plugin does not connect to any external service to display your FlipBooks. The 3D viewer, PDF engine, fonts, and all assets are served from your own site. The only data the plugin can send is optional deactivation feedback. If you deactivate the plugin and choose “Submit & Deactivate”, it emails the reason you selected, any details you type, your site URL, and the plugin version to ThemeNcode so we can improve the plugin. If you tick the “ThemeNcode may contact me” option, your email address is included too. This is entirely optional: choosing “Skip & Deactivate” sends nothing, and no data is sent unless you click “Submit & Deactivate”. Service provider: ThemeNcode – https://tncflipbook.com | Privacy Policy: https:// tncflipbook.com/privacy-policy ### Source Code All of this plugin’s own JavaScript and CSS is shipped unminified and human-readable– there is no separate build or compile step for it. The 3D viewer engine lives in assets/flipbook/tnc-flipbook.js and assets/flipbook/tnc-flipbook.css. The bundled third-party libraries are included in assets/lib/: * Three.js (MIT) – https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js * PDF.js (Apache-2.0) – https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js The PDF.js data assets shipped alongside it are also part of that distribution: * assets/lib/cmaps/ – character maps for CJK (Chinese/Japanese/Korean) text * assets/lib/standard_fonts/ – the 14 standard PDF font programs (fallback for PDFs that do not embed their fonts) * assets/lib/wasm/openjpeg_nowasm_fallback.js – a JavaScript build of the OpenJPEG JPEG 2000 decoder, used to display JPEG 2000 images. The underlying decoder source is OpenJPEG (BSD-2-Clause) – https://github.com/uclouvain/openjpeg ## Screenshots [⌊Realistic 3D FlipBook with true page-turning physics (dark theme)⌉⌊Realistic 3D FlipBook with true page-turning physics (dark theme)⌉[ Realistic 3D FlipBook with true page-turning physics (dark theme) [⌊Light theme reading view - switch dark or light from the toolbar⌉⌊Light theme reading view - switch dark or light from the toolbar⌉[ Light theme reading view – switch dark or light from the toolbar [⌊Turn any PDF into a magazine-style FlipBook with real page turns⌉⌊Turn any PDF into a magazine-style FlipBook with real page turns⌉[ Turn any PDF into a magazine-style FlipBook with real page turns [⌊Global Settings - default view mode, page mode, zoom, and language⌉⌊Global Settings- default view mode, page mode, zoom, and language⌉[ Global Settings – default view mode, page mode, zoom, and language [⌊Per-FlipBook editor - choose a PDF or image gallery, then copy the shortcode⌉⌊ Per-FlipBook editor - choose a PDF or image gallery, then copy the shortcode⌉[ Per-FlipBook editor – choose a PDF or image gallery, then copy the shortcode ## Blocks This plugin provides 3 blocks. * TNC FlipBook 3D Embed Embed a TNC FlipBook 3D directly in the page. * TNC FlipBook 3D Link A text link that opens a TNC FlipBook 3D in a popup, new tab, or same tab. * TNC FlipBook 3D Image Link An image that opens a TNC FlipBook 3D in a popup, new tab, or same tab. ## Installation 1.

TNC FlipBook 3D renders PDFs using PDF.js and works with any standard PDF file, including those with links, bookmarks, and text layers. ### Does it work on mobile? Yes. The plugin auto-detects device capability and falls back to a lightweight 2D CSS-based mode on older or less powerful devices. ### Can I customize the toolbar? Yes. You can choose which toolbar items appear and pick a toolbar layout for each FlipBook. ### Is it accessible? Yes. It includes full WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility — keyboard navigation and shortcuts, screen reader announcements, skip links, focus indicators, high-contrast mode, and reduced-motion support. ### Can I use it with page builders? Yes. It includes Gutenberg blocks and shortcodes that work with any page builder. ### Can I try it before installing? Yes. Use the “Live Preview” button on this page to open TNC FlipBook 3D in a temporary WordPress site right in your browser (powered by WordPress Playground). It opens with a sample FlipBook already set up, so you can flip through pages, search, switch themes, and open the editor without installing anything. ### My FlipBook area is blank (the browser console shows a “MIME type” error) The viewer loads its PDF engine from JavaScript module files (.mjs). A few web servers do not serve .mjs files as JavaScript by default, which stops the engine from loading. If the FlipBook stays blank and the browser console shows a message like “Failed to load module script … MIME type of ‘text/plain’”, apply the fix for your server, clear any caches, and reload. On Apache or LiteSpeed, add this line to your site’s .htaccess file: `AddType text/ javascript .mjs` On Nginx, add mjs to the JavaScript line in your mime.types file so it reads: `text/ javascript js mjs;` Most hosts already serve .mjs correctly, so this is only needed on a few servers. If you are not comfortable editing these files, your hosting provider’s support can add the rule for you. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/87a1066913876cc55f04a7d632933a36b4ca4a027cfbd571dbf523d62e10a925? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-41617/)󠁿 [Max](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mxlawr/) July 6, 2026 1 reply I’ve been following this author since the CodeCanyon days and have always known them to create top-tier, high-quality products. It is truly a shame that things changed so much over there, but I am very glad to see this excellent plugin available here for the WordPress community. The tool works flawlessly and keeps the same high standards. Wishing the author the absolute best of luck with this project!
