How It Works
Drop a PDF
Any PDF — a book, a lookbook, a magazine, a catalog. Up to 30 pages process in your browser, never uploaded.
Pick an animation
Page-flip for a classic book feel, Ken Burns for slow cinematic pans, 3D stack for parallax, or cover-zoom for a hero showcase.
Render & download
Records the animation in your browser and exports a WebM (or MP4 on supported devices). 9:16 for Reels/TikTok, 1:1 for feed, 16:9 for YouTube.
Frequently Asked Questions
What can I use this book trailer maker for?
BookTok and Bookstagram videos, author promos, ebook launches, magazine and lookbook teasers, product catalogs, course brochures, real-estate listing flipbooks, and any showcase where you want pages to feel like a real book turning.
Is the PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. The PDF is rendered with PDF.js inside your browser, the animation is composed on a Canvas, and the video is encoded with MediaRecorder or WebCodecs locally. Nothing leaves your device.
What aspect ratios are supported?
9:16 (720×1280) for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and Stories. 1:1 (1080×1080) for the Instagram feed. 16:9 (1280×720) for YouTube, ads, and landscape video.
Which animation should I pick?
Page-flip for a literal book feel — best for novels and picture books. Ken Burns for elegant slow-zoom pans — best for lookbooks and photography. 3D stack for parallax stacking — best for catalogs and brochures. Cover-zoom for a strong hero opener with a title overlay — best for launch announcements.
How many PDF pages can I include?
Up to 30 in one trailer, with the first 10 selected by default. You can drag the page-count slider to change how many appear. More pages = longer video; the slider shows the estimated duration live.
Will the output have a watermark?
No watermark. The video is yours and free to use, including commercially.
What format does it download as?
WebM on most browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge). On iOS Safari it falls back to a WebCodecs encoder that produces MP4 when AVC is available. If you need MP4 on a desktop browser, run the WebM through any free MP4 converter.
Can I use it for password-protected PDFs?
Most encrypted PDFs are read fine for page rendering. If a PDF is fully locked, unlock it first with a free unlock-PDF tool, then drop it back in.
