Brochure

Your PDF brochures, folders or catalogues as covers on the page. Visitors read them full screen, turning the pages like a real magazine.

Using it well

Add a brochure for each PDF (a folder, catalogue, magazine or menu card), choose the PDF file and give it a title, and optionally a subtitle such as "Spring 2027". The first page becomes the cover on your page; to use another picture, choose a cover image. Show the covers in a grid, in one row that scrolls sideways, or one large cover each.

Visitors tap a cover to read it full screen: two pages side by side with a page turn on computers, one page with swiping on phones, the arrow keys, zoom (pinch on phones, the + and - buttons on computers) and an overview of all pages. The link button copies a link that opens the brochure at that page, handy in an email or a post. Switch off "Visitors may download the PDF" to hide the download button.

To show the brochure itself instead of a cover, set "Show as" to "Flipbook in the page". Each brochure then gets its own box in the page, with its title above it, the pages turning inside it and a toolbar under it: previous and next, the page number, the page overview, zoom, full screen, copy the link and download. Choose the height of the box (normal, tall or the full screen height) and its background (dark, or your site's own). Visitors can still scroll past it as usual; the arrow keys turn the pages once they have clicked the flipbook.

The PDF is read from your own uploads and drawn in the visitor's browser: nothing is loaded from other websites and no cookies are set. Large PDFs open quickly because only the pages being read are fetched. In the editor, a click on a cover or a flipbook selects the block; use Preview to try the reader.

Adding it

Open your site in the builder, choose Add in the left panel and pick Brochure (or search for it). Click the block in the preview to open its settings on the right.
