Free Flipbook Maker – The best tips before you begin
Our free flipbook maker that we offer you here on YUMPU Publishing is one of the easiest to use in the entire industry, offering both simplicity and stunning results that you are sure to love. We are confident that you will find that it is also one of the fastest ways to transform your files into the format that you need. You can do this without any prior experience, so you do not have to be worried at all if this is your first time on the site. However, we also want to provide you with some tips that can help you out before you even get started, making the process easier than ever.
1. Make your file into a PDF.
If you have not done so already, you should take a moment to make your file into a PDF. That is the only type of file that the system can accept at the time. If you have a JPEG or some similar file – like a GIF – it is not going to be able to carry out the conversion. Everything has to be uploaded as a PDF, whether you drag and drop to start the upload or select your file from a list.
2. Edit your content.
Another excellent tip is to edit your content before you upload it to the free flipbook maker. Countless times, we get people who do the conversion and then find mistakes, and they have to start all over. Some of them even complain about the mistakes and assume that the issue was created during the conversion, but the issue is often with the original file. After all, converting it from one format to another is not going to change the content of that file at all. It is just going to change the type of file that you are working with. Layout mistakes, spelling mistakes and things of this nature are still going to be there only if they were in that original file.
Of course, you can always just make the changes and upload your file again to YUMPU Publishing if you find them too far into the process. Your whole project is not going to be ruined. However, this does eat up some valuable time and delays the production of your online magazine or catalogue. We strongly suggest knowing that your file is perfect before you send it in.
3. Consider similar files on similar devices.
The beauty of creating an online publication with our free flipbook maker is that you can send it all over the world, to many different types of devices. One person could read it on a computer, someone else could read it on a tablet, and someone else could read it on a smartphone. This increases the amount of people that you can connect with, and it reduces the cost to you, even as your subscription rate goes up.
To make sure that it looks as good as you want it to, though, be sure that you think about the way that people will be viewing your file most often, and then take the time to look at similar publications in the same way. For example, if you are putting out a magazine for people to read on their phones, use your phone to look at magazines in the same genre. This is going to help you see what works and what does not when it comes to layout ideas, text styles, colors and things of this nature. You can then use what you learn when you are working on making your own designs.
4. Have beta readers look at your content before uploading to the flipbook maker.
It is not always possible to find people who will have the time to read your content before you upload it, but this is definitely something that you want to do if possible. These beta readers can give you incredibly valuable feedback about what they like and what they do not like. This could include catching spelling mistakes, but you hopefully will have found all of that on your own. However, they could catch other mistakes or just tell you what they think you could do to make it more compelling. This way, the product that you finally upload and show people is going to be the best possible product that you can offer.
5. Learn from your previous experiences.
Finally, every time that you use our free flipbook maker, you just want to make sure to learn from what happens before you use it again. The software itself is incredibly simple. You just drag and drop your file, and you get beautiful results. However, learning what your readers like and how the industry is changing, among many other things, can give you a better idea of how to improve upon the original.
