CSS 3D flipbook — a real page flip, on any device

Pages turn in genuine 3D, drawn with CSS transforms instead of WebGL. No graphics hardware required, less to download, and the first page is on screen sooner.

Live demo — drag a page corner, or click near the edge

Fast where it counts

The same book, with far less standing between the click and the first page.

No WebGL required

Built on CSS 3D transforms that every current browser supports. No shaders, no GPU checks.

Quicker to first page

Less to prepare before the book appears, so readers start reading instead of watching a spinner.

Kind to old hardware

Older phones and office machines that struggle with WebGL handle this one comfortably.

Same controls

Zoom, thumbnails, search, fullscreen and the rest of the toolbar behave exactly as they do in 3D.

Bending pages, lighting and shadows. The showpiece for catalogs and magazines.
