Toombler Flipbook – PDF Flipbook, PDF Viewer, Page Flip Embed

Toombler turns a PDF you already store in Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive into a smooth, interactive page-flip viewer that looks great on any device. A shared Google Doc or Google Slides deck works too, without exporting it to PDF first. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is copied: Toombler reads the file from the share link you already have, so the document stays where you put it. Embed a flipbook on any post or page in seconds.

Features:

• Gutenberg block with live preview in the editor
• Classic shortcode for page builders and themes
• Responsive — scales to any container width
• Full control over every viewer setting (matches the Toombler dashboard)
• Two selectable page-flip sounds, hard cover, spine shadow, auto-play, and more
• Optional navigation arrows, page counter, download button, and fullscreen mode
• Optional accessible text version below the flipbook (improves screen-reader access and SEO)
• No cookies set, no user data collected by the plugin itself

External service:

This plugin embeds content from toombler.com. The flipbook viewer is loaded in an <iframe> from https://toombler.com/embed. When you enable the optional text version (text="1" or the “Show accessible text version” block toggle), the plugin also requests the document’s plain text from https://toombler.com/api/text and caches it locally; only your flipbook’s File ID is sent, and the response contains your document’s own text. By using this plugin you agree to the Toombler Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. A free Toombler account is required to create flipbooks.
