How To Upload a DOC File
Task
Upload your DOC/DOCX file from your computer to convert it into a digital flipbook.
Available on all plans.
Outcome
You've polished up some impressive DOC/DOCX files using your favorite text editor and are eager to share them. Figuring out the best way to do so can be daunting. Exporting as a PDF or text file is an option, but these formats can be cumbersome--they're often too large for emails, don't translate well on social media, and lack visual appeal. Transforming your DOC/DOCX into an online Simplebooklet gives your document a polished, professional look that can be easily shared with a single branded link, ensuring you captivate your audience and keep their attention longer.

Choose the DOC/DOCX file you wish to upload from your computer.
We’ll begin the upload process to transfer your DOC/DOCX file from your computer to our servers. The duration will depend on your internet connection speed.
Upon receiving your file, you'll access our conversion tool. Here, you'll assign a title to your new flipbook and choose the page flip transition. You can also modify the flip transition post-conversion.
Title is the title we’ll use when presenting your Simplebooklet and for creating your custom URL. By default, we extract it from your file metadata, but you can update it in the title field here.
Choose A Page Flip to select the flip animation that smoothly guides your audience from one page to the next. Choose one that best complements the presentation of your content as you unveil each page. While we may recommend a page flip transition based on your DOC/DOCX, you can also select any other transition from the dozens of options available.

Specific transitions are available for trifold brochures, bifold brochures, and gatefold brochures. When you choose these transitions, each page in your DOC/DOCX is folded to replicate the distinctive page flip animation. If your DOC/DOCX does not consist of multiple panels on each page, refrain from selecting this transition.
Tap Convert.
At this point, we're turning your DOC/DOCX into a web-ready digital document with its own dedicated presentation landing page.
When complete, we'll load your Simplebooklet in our Preview display. You'll be able to flip through your pages, pick a theme, start sharing immediately, or use the customization tools to enhance your Simplebooklet presentation further.
