About Paper Flipbook

Paper Flipbook turns your images into a book you page through: each page bends as it turns, with shading along the fold, a soft spine shadow and a shadow cast on the page underneath.

Turn pages by dragging a page, clicking or tapping either half, using the arrow buttons, or with the keyboard once the book has focus; add one image per page, cover first, or leave the list empty to show twelve built-in demo pages.

It draws frames only while a page is moving and stops when scrolled off screen; the Framer canvas and browsers without WebGL show the same spread as a static layout, reduced motion changes pages instantly, and a polite live region announces the pages in view.

  • A dragged page stays under your pointer and, on release, completes the turn or falls back depending on how far and how fast you moved it; with a mouse, hovering near the outer edge lifts the page slightly.

  • Keyboard: Left/Right arrows and Page Up/Page Down turn pages, Home goes to the cover and End to the last page.

  • Hard cover keeps the front cover rigid (and the back cover when the page count is even); a closed cover sits centred.

  • Optional autoplay turns a page every few seconds, reverses at either end, and pauses on hover, on focus and while off screen.

What you control

  • Pages (one image each, up to 200, cover first), page ratio (3:4, 2:3, 4:5, A4, 1:1, 4:3, 3:2), start page, hard cover

  • Curl, paper thickness and shadow strength (0–1 each)

  • Background and accent colours

  • Autoplay and interval (1–30 s), arrow buttons, page number counter, drag to turn, accessible label

Limits: it always shows a two-page spread (no single-page mode at narrow widths), pages are images only, and image hosts must allow cross-origin loading for the 3D pages (images uploaded to Framer do).
