FlipHTML5’s catalog maker is built for teams that need professional product catalogs without rebuilding every page by hand. It not only helps generate flipping catalogs but also strengthens them with multimedia elements for enhanced interactivity.

Organizations that rely on product catalogs no longer need to choose between print-only PDFs and costly custom web builds. FlipHTML5 positions its catalog maker as a single workflow: upload source files, apply design themes and interactivity, then host and share interactive catalogs via one link (or embed) that works across desktop and mobile.
Teams with an existing PDF catalog can upload it to generate an online, page-flipping edition. FlipHTML5’s catalog maker also supports conversion from PowerPoint (.ppt/.pptx) and other common formats (including Word and images), so marketing assets built in slide decks or mixed layouts can become the same interactive experience without rebuilding pages from scratch.
Once the base catalog exists, the catalog maker adds layers that support conversion and brand consistency. Editors can embed videos (including from platforms like YouTube and Vimeo), hotspots, galleries, and hyperlinks to product or checkout pages so the catalog behaves like a sales asset, not a PDF replica. Branding controls include logos, custom colors and fonts, loading videos, banner placements, and the option to use a custom domain so the experience reflects the company, not a generic host. For post-purchase or B2B questions, FlipHTML5’s AI PDF chatbot lets visitors query the catalog and related files in a ChatGPT-like way, turning passive browsing into guided discovery.
Finished catalogs can be hosted on FlipHTML5 with a shareable URL and QR code, embedded on websites, or paired with SEO-oriented settings such as customizable titles and keywords and a text version derived from catalog content to support findability. Google Analytics integration plus surveys and lead forms help teams measure engagement—important for anyone who needs catalogs not only to look good but to prove performance.
Beyond classic file conversion, FlipHTML5 offers two additional creation paths. The AI catalog maker further expands catalog creation capabilities by leveraging artificial intelligence to automate layout adjustments and content structuring. This feature supports users in generating catalogs from raw data or textual descriptions, reducing manual design workload and accelerating production timelines. Separately, the Excel to catalog capability focuses on turning spreadsheet rows into a polished, browsable publication, with template options (the platform references 28+ prebuilt templates in its catalog automation messaging) so merchandising and marketing teams can go from data to a shareable link in minutes. Together, these options address both “design-first” and”data-first” teams that need catalogs at different stages of readiness.
“Our comprehensive catalog creation solution is designed specifically for businesses that manage product information using PDFs, spreadsheets, presentations—or even just a simple product list—and wish to leverage this data for e-commerce, wholesale distribution, and field sales operations. We enable the publication of interactive catalogs featuring realistic page-turning effects, allowing users to browse effortlessly via any modern desktop or mobile browser, all without incurring expensive printing costs or relying on complex, specialized design software,” says Winston Zhang, CEO of FlipHTML5.
