- How do I make a flipbook out of loose images?
To make a flipbook, you need to upload a zip or tar that contains the files.

Here’s how:

Use only jpg, jpeg, jp2, tif, tiff, png, gif or bmp files. Any combination of them is acceptable.
Name your files sequentially. It is best to use the identifier in the name. For example:
000yourfilename.jpg
001yourfilename.jpg
002yourfilename.jpg
Create a zip or tar of the files and name that zip file using the page identifier e.g. yourfilename_images.zip or yourfilename_images.tar. If possible, use a compression tool that does not add extra extraneous files. Sometimes the compression tool that comes with your computer does this (as with the Mac tool for example.) Terminal or Cygwin work well.
Upload the zip or tar file. Be sure to specify a language to help OCR. The system should do the rest. (Tip: If your images don’t result in a flip book embedded in the page, click Edit in the item and make sure the zip or tar file format is listed as “Generic Raw Book Zip.”)
