# Create from Blank

# Create from Blank

Don't have an existing file to convert? Start from scratch and build your Simplebooklet from the ground up. Starting blank gives you total control — pick your own dimensions, design every page yourself, and stack on text, images, videos, audio, and interactive elements wherever you want them. It's the perfect path when you'd rather create something brand-new than transform an existing document.

|| Available on all plans.

### How to Create a Simplebooklet from Blank

1. Open your **Dashboard**.

2. At the top of the page, click the **downward arrow** beside the **Upload File** button.

4. Pick the dimensions you want your Simplebooklet to be:

* Choose a **preset** — **Letter**, **A4**, **Tri Fold**, **Post Card**, **Landscape**, **Presentation**, **Instagram**, or **Card** are all one click away.

5. Give your Simplebooklet a **Title**.

| Your title also shows up in your weblink, so keep it short, clear, and on-brand.

6. Click **Create**.

7. You'll land directly in the **Edit Tab**, where you can start building. From here, three tabs do the heavy lifting:

* **Edit** is where you build your pages — add **text**, **images**, **videos**, and **audio**, drop in **buttons** and clickable **hotspots**, and reorder, add, or remove pages.

* **Design** is where you set the look and feel — choose your **page-flip animation** and **sound**, apply a preset **theme** or set a custom **background**, add your **logo**, customize the **navigation bar**, and add **calls to action**.

* **Record** is where you give your Simplebooklet a voice — record narration directly or upload audio for any page.

Each tab has its own dedicated guide if you want to go deeper.

8. When you're happy with how it looks, click **Share** in the top right corner to publish and start sending your Simplebooklet out into the world.
