# Toombler

> Toombler is a free tool that turns Google Drive PDFs into interactive, embeddable page-flip flipbooks. The PDF stays in the user's own Google Drive — no upload, no watermark, no subscription. Flipbooks can be embedded on any website via iframe, JS snippet, web component, oEmbed, or the official WordPress plugin.

Key facts: free with a single ad on the inside cover; unlimited flipbooks; PDFs are read live from Google Drive (edit the file and the flipbook updates); supports a clickable table of contents from PDF bookmarks, clickable hyperlinks, zoom, PIN protection, expiry dates and view statistics.
