What is the difference between a lookbook and a catalog?

A catalog lists products with prices and details so customers can order. A lookbook is more editorial: it shows products styled together to sell a mood or a collection. Many brands publish both, and both work well as flipbooks.

Can I make my lookbook shoppable?

Yes. Add links over any look in the link editor and point them to product pages in your web shop.

Will my photos lose quality?

You control the output resolution in the settings. Choose a higher setting for photography-led lookbooks; readers can also zoom in for detail.

Can photographers use it as a portfolio?

Yes. Many photographers publish wedding and portrait collections as a flipbook on their own website, as in the Dauss Foto example on this page.

What is a digital lookbook?

A lookbook is a collection of photos that shows a collection, a style, or a body of work: a fashion season, an interior range, a jewelry line, or a photographer's portfolio. A digital lookbook is the online version, presented as a page-turning flipbook so it feels like a printed book rather than a web gallery.

Who uses digital lookbooks

Fashion and accessories brands for seasonal collections, sent to buyers, press, and customers.
Interior and furniture brands for styled room sets and collection launches.
Photographers for wedding, portrait, and commercial portfolios. Our Dauss Foto example is a wedding photography lookbook.
Hair, beauty, and bridal businesses for style books and inspiration guides.
Wholesale and showrooms for line sheets that buyers can browse before an appointment.

How to make a digital lookbook

Design the lookbook in InDesign, Lightroom, Canva, or any layout tool, and export it as a PDF. Use full-bleed images; they look stunning in a flipbook.
Upload the PDF to Instant Flipbook. It is converted into a responsive HTML5 flipbook in about a minute.
Make it shoppable. Add links from each look to the product page, a wholesale order form, or a booking page.
Style the viewer. Choose a background color or image that suits the collection, so the photos take center stage.
Publish it on your website or embed it on a collection page, then share the link with customers, buyers, and press.

Built for photography

Zoom — readers can zoom in on fabric, texture, and detail.
Fullscreen — let the photography fill the screen.
Video — embed a campaign film or backstage video from YouTube or Vimeo.
Quality settings — balance image sharpness against loading speed in the settings.

Keep your brand experience clean

For premium brands, what appears around the lookbook matters as much as the lookbook itself. Hosted platforms add their own branding and sometimes suggest other publications next to yours. An Instant Flipbook lookbook is white-label and hosted on your own website, so the reader sees your brand and nothing else.

Send it to buyers and press

A link to a lookbook on your own domain looks more professional than an attachment or a link to a third-party platform. You can also link directly to a specific look, for example /lookbook/ss27/?page=14, when a buyer asks about one piece.
