Embed a video in a PDF
With Publuu, you can insert videos into your PDFs in lots of eye-catching ways. Whether it’s a product demo, tutorial, or promo clip, your videos will look great and keep your audience engaged – right inside your document.
Ways to embed a video in a PDF
Embed a video by uploading
Upload an MP4 video from your computer directly to your flipbook. Display it as a built-in player that plays automatically and feels like a natural part of your PDF.
Embedded video with a link
Embed a video on any page of your flipbook using a direct Vimeo or YouTube link, which saves time and lets you manage your video content without storing it on Publuu.
Embed a video using a hotspot
Add a small hotspot or a pulsating, clickable area to any page. When someone clicks it, the video opens in a pop-up window – keeping your layout clean and viewers still inside the interactive PDF.
Full page video display
Want to make your whole page come alive? No problem – just add a full-page video. You’ll instantly draw the reader’s attention and present your message in a direct, engaging way.
Embed a video under a custom graphic
Turn any element in your PDF — a graphic, photo, GIF, or even a piece of text — into a clickable hotspot that plays a video when clicked. It’s a great way to blend a video naturally into your design, using visuals that match your content.
How to embed a video in a PDF?
Start by uploading your PDF document to Publuu’s platform. Publuu will automatically convert it into an interactive flipbook.
Once your flipbook is ready and customized, use the Hotspot feature to place interactive elements, including videos.
Choose the page, paste a video link from YouTube or Vimeo, or upload an MP4 file. Then, decide whether it should appear as a built-in player or a clickable icon.
When you’re done, share your PDF with the embedded video via a direct link, send it by email or add it to your website.
Add a video background to your PDF
With Publuu, you can also add a video background to make your PDF even more dynamic and eye-catching, giving it a modern, animated feel.
Easily replace your embedded video in a PDF
You can update embedded videos at any time by simply replacing the link or uploading a new file. There’s no need to re-embed the video or redesign anything – your flipbook stays up to date in just a few steps!
