How to add photos to your publication?

Even the best written description can’t substitute professional photos presenting your products or services. Eye-catching, vivid photos can impress your readers and encourage them to become paying clients. To make it easy for you to boost your sales using stunning photos, we allow you to add photos or even the whole photo galleries to your flipbooks.

Publuu supports JPG or PNG images up to 5MB and makes it easy to insert them on any page of your flipbook. If you would like to find out how to upload images to your publication, please follow the tutorial below.

How to embed a photo gallery?

Photo galleries in Publuu can be added to any page of your flipbook in two different forms: as a hotspot or as an embed.

If you wish to make your gallery an integral part of your flipbook, consider embedding it.

How to add a photo gallery as a hotspot?

If your goal is to diversify your content or engage the readers, and at the same time you don’t want to provide too many distractors in your publication, a hotspot with a photo gallery is the best option for you.

To present your photo gallery as a pop-up activated every time someone clicks it, select the HOTSPOT on the right – it will turn blue when active.

Your gallery will then transform into a clickable hotspot in just a second.
