PDF Flipbook Catalogue for Odoo Website

PDF Flipbook Catalogue for Website

Host your own interactive PDF catalogues, brochures and magazines on your Odoo website. Customers flip through pages with a realistic page-turn animation.

Odoo 18.0 Website Self-Hosted Unlimited Catalogues Mobile Ready

The problem

You have beautiful PDF catalogues, brochures, lookbooks or restaurant menus — but a raw PDF download is a dead-end user experience. Customers won't scroll through 60 pages of PDF in their browser, and signing up for Issuu, FlippingBook, Yumpu or Publitas locks your content behind a monthly subscription, their domain, and in some cases their ads.

Without this module: Your customers either click a boring PDF link, or you pay monthly fees to a third-party flipbook service that hosts your content on their domain.

The solution

Upload your PDF, pick a URL slug, hit publish. Your catalogue is now a beautiful, interactive flipbook embedded directly on your Odoo website — with realistic page-flip animations, mobile-friendly responsive layout, and crisp pages on every device. All under your own domain. No subscriptions. No page-view limits.

With this module: Your customers get a magazine-style reading experience at /flipbook/your-slug — SEO-indexed, fullscreen-capable, and fully on your Odoo site.

Features

Realistic page-flip animation

Powered by StPageFlip — smooth, natural page turns with shadows and curl effects. Not just a scrolling PDF.

Always crisp pages

Pages rendered live from vector data via PDF.js. No pre-baked JPEGs, no pixelation — sharp at any zoom or pixel density.

Mobile & tablet ready

Fully responsive. Single-page portrait mode on phones, two-page spreads on desktops. Touch, swipe, keyboard, and mouse all supported.

SEO-friendly URLs

Each catalogue gets a clean, shareable URL on your own domain. Indexed by search engines, included in sitemaps.

Chunked PDF upload (up to 2 GiB)

Upload huge PDFs via a streaming admin page with live progress bar. No browser freezes, no server timeouts.

Unlimited catalogues

One flat fee, unlimited flipbooks — seasonal catalogues, regional brochures, multilingual editions, any number of menus.

Fullscreen reading mode

One-click fullscreen for an immersive, distraction-free experience — perfect for lookbooks and premium catalogues.

Publish control

Independent publish toggle per catalogue. Draft catalogues stay private until you're ready to launch.

Simple Odoo-native admin

Manage catalogues directly from the Odoo backend. Create a record, set a slug, upload a PDF, publish. Done.

Flipbook admin upload page with chunked streaming progress bar

FAQ

How big a PDF can I upload?

Up to 2 GiB. Uploads stream in chunks to avoid browser and server memory spikes, with a live progress bar during upload.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. On phones the viewer automatically switches to single-page portrait mode with touch/swipe navigation. On tablets and desktops you get the two-page spread with realistic flip animation.

Will my flipbook be indexed by Google?

Yes. Each published flipbook is served from your own domain at a clean URL (/flipbook/your-slug), is included in the Odoo website sitemap, and carries the flipbook title and description as proper HTML.

How many flipbooks can I publish?

As many as you like. No per-publication limits, no per-view limits, no bandwidth caps — it's your Odoo server.

Do pages look crisp when zoomed or on retina screens?

Yes. Pages are re-rendered from the PDF's vector data on demand at device-pixel-ratio resolution, so they stay sharp on 4K monitors, retina laptops, and high-DPI phones.

Does it replace my existing catalogue or product pages?

No. Flipbooks sit alongside your existing website — you can link to them from your menu, product pages, homepage, blog, or email campaigns. Perfect complement to your existing eCommerce catalogue.

Can I unpublish a flipbook without deleting it?

Yes — each flipbook has its own Published on Website toggle. Toggle off and the public URL returns 404 until you're ready to re-launch.

Does it work on Odoo Community and Enterprise?

Yes, both. The only dependency is the standard website module.
