The free Toombler plugin lets you add interactive, page-turning PDF flipbooks to any post or page — with a Gutenberg block or a simple shortcode.
Version 1.2.1 · Free · GPL licensed · Works with WordPress 5.8 – 7.1
Set sharing to "Anyone with the link" so Toombler can read it.
Paste the Drive link in your Toombler dashboard. Your flipbook is ready instantly.
Search "Toombler Flipbook" in the WordPress plugin directory and click Install.
Paste [toombler id="…"] anywhere and you're done.
Drag the Toombler Flipbook block into any page and get a live preview right inside the block editor.
Works with Classic Editor, Elementor, Divi, WPBakery and any page builder that supports shortcodes.
The flipbook scales automatically to any container — looks sharp on desktop, tablet, and mobile.
No scripts loaded on the front end. Just a single responsive iframe — no impact on your page speed score.
Protect flipbooks with a PIN or set an expiry date — all managed in your Toombler dashboard.
The plugin is free and open source (GPL). A free Toombler account is all you need.
