Drop in any PDF. Get an optimized book.
Our ingestion engine turns every page into lightweight WebP images in three sizes and pulls out a searchable text layer. Readers never download your original PDF.
- Textbooks, manuals, magazines, catalogues, children’s books
- Live progress while pages render
- Original PDF kept safe as the source
searchable text layer
An editor that feels like Canva, not a CMS.
Page thumbnails on the left, your page in the middle, properties on the right. Drag, resize and layer interactions directly on top of the page — the page itself is never modified.
- Drag & 4-corner resize
- Layers: hide, lock, duplicate, reorder, delete
- Autosave & entrance animations
Hotspots that invite a tap.
Seven hotspot styles — pulse, glow, circle, arrow, icon, invisible or your own image. Each one can play audio, open a video, show an image or popup, open a webpage or jump to a page.
- Pulse · Glow · Circle · Arrow · Icon · Invisible · Custom
- 6 click actions
- Screen-reader labels on every hotspot
Add sound to any page.
Add narration buttons that play on click or as soon as the page opens. Upload MP3s, loop ambience, and audio automatically stops when the reader turns the page.
- Narration buttons: click to play, play on page open, loop
- Upload MP3s or background ambience
- Audio stops automatically when the page is turned
The little lion walked into the forest.
Video that never slows the book down.
Videos show only a poster until the reader taps. Then they stream — inline on the page or in a popup. Works with uploaded MP4s and YouTube or Vimeo links.
- Poster-first, click-to-stream
- Inline or popup mode
- Muted autoplay, loop, start & end time

- Points, pass mark, instant feedback and retry

Classic Book or Fast Reader — your choice.
On desktop, Classic Book shows two facing pages with a realistic page curl you can drag from the corner. Fast Reader gives instant slide transitions for study sessions.
- Two-page spread with real page curl
- Single page on phones
- Readers can switch modes anytime
The book never feels like it’s loading.

- Current page first, ±1 and ±2 preloaded
- Thumbnail shown instantly, HD fades in
- Media loads only when tapped
Everything readers expect, built in.
Thumbnails, full-text search across the book, zoom up to 300%, fullscreen, swipe on touch screens and arrow-key navigation on keyboards.
- Search finds every matching page
- Zoom & pan
- Swipe and keyboard friendly
Zoom 300%
Publish once. Share everywhere.
Each publish creates a fixed version (1.0, 1.1 …) and your live link always shows the newest one. Share a direct link, an iframe, a Wix custom element or a QR code — and every shared link shows your book’s own cover and title.
- Hosted URL + iframe embed
- Wix custom element <ibookstudio-book>
- Rich link previews with your cover on WhatsApp, X, Facebook & LinkedIn
- Downloadable QR code & version history
<iframe src=".../embed/abc123" allowfullscreen></iframe>Control who reads — and reach everyone who should.

Install it. Read anywhere — even offline.

- Add to home screen / install as an app
- “Save offline” caches a whole book for no-signal reading
- Opened books keep working if the connection drops
No signal? No problem.
Your saved books open instantly, anywhere.
