For schools, teams and clubs
An online yearbook every family can open
Printing is expensive and copies run out. Design your yearbook in Canva or your yearbook software, then publish the PDF here as a page-turning flipbook that every student, parent and alum can open from one link or QR code.

Why use a flipbook for digital yearbooks?
Everyone gets a copy
Share one link with the whole school, team or club. No print run, no shipping, and no one is left out when copies sell out.
Photo pages look great
Full-page photos keep the yearbook feel: one page at a time on a phone held upright, two-page spreads on a laptop. Readers can zoom in up to 400% to find faces in group shots.
Up to 300 pages
Enough for class portraits, events, sports and messages from every grade. Each PDF can be up to 100 MB; split very large books into two.
Your school's name on it
Add the school or club name, a tagline and your logo. They show in the reader around the yearbook.
A QR code for printed copies
Download the QR code as a PNG and print it on the back cover, posters or the graduation program, so families can open the online version.
See that families open it
Daily views (today, the last 7 days and the total) show whether the link in your newsletter is being used.
How to make it in 3 steps
- 1
Design the yearbook and export a PDF
Use Canva, Word or your yearbook software. Keep one page size for every page and export all pages as one PDF.
- 2
Check photo permission
Follow your school's photo-consent policy and leave out students whose families opted out, because anyone with the link can view the book.
- 3
Upload and review
Drop the PDF in and flip through every spread to check the page order, names and photos. Conversion happens in your browser.
- 4
Publish at a clear link
Sign in with a free account and pick a link with the year in it, like /lincoln-high-2026, so each year gets its own.
- 5
Share it with families
Send the link in your newsletter or email, embed it on the school website, and print the QR code on printed copies.
Tips that make a difference
- Get permission for student photos before publishing — anyone with the link can view the yearbook.
- Use a clear link like /lincoln-high-2026 so families can find it again.
- Keep each year's yearbook at its own link and list them on one page of your website, as an archive for alumni.
- Add a name index at the back: readers can't search the text, because pages are stored as images.
- Proofread every name before publishing. You can't replace the PDF later; a correction means a new book and a new link.
- Keep blank signature pages for the printed copies. Readers can't write on the online version.
Frequently asked questions
Who can see our digital yearbook?
Anyone who has the link. Published flipbooks are always kept out of search engines, but there's no password, so share the link only where families will see it.
Is it free for schools?
Yes. Making and sharing a yearbook flipbook is free, with no watermark on the pages and no paid plans.
Can parents read it on their phones?
Yes. It opens in any mobile browser with no app or account needed.
Can I make the yearbook itself here?
No. Flipbook Maker turns a finished PDF (or images or a Word file) into a flipbook. Design the pages in Canva, Word or your yearbook software first.
How many pages can an online yearbook have?
Up to 300 pages, from a PDF of up to 100 MB. For a bigger yearbook, publish it as two books, such as portraits and events.
Can I fix a mistake after publishing?
You can change the title, link and details, but not the pages. Fix the PDF, publish it as a new book and share the new link.
Can readers download or print the yearbook?
No. The online yearbook has no download or print button. Order printed copies from your printer.
