Issuu is a digital discovery and publishing platform that enables anyone — from independent creators to global brands — to distribute, measure and monetize their digital content. We offer the best digital reading experience possible and provide you with tools to easily upload, share and sell beautiful content online.

TIP: Got a question about how Issuu works? Check out the answers to some of our most frequently asked questions below.

Can I create content directly on Issuu?

Our platform is optimized to help you upload and distribute content that you’ve already created, whether it’s a PDF, Word document, Powerpoint or other (see below for Issuu-supported formats).

While we do offer certain paid features to help you collaborate with your team members on designing the layout and gathering assets for your content, you’ll still need an InDesign plug-in to use this feature (you’ll also need to be signed up for our Optimum plan). Therefore, we recommend that you create content yourself before uploading.   

How do I sign up as a publisher?

To sign up for a publisher plan, please visit Creating an Issuu Account. You can either sign up to publish on Issuu for free or sign up for one of our paid plans to access exclusive features like the ability to sell your content, share your work in a full-screen reader, page-level statistics and more.

There's currently a 14-day free trial running for new subscribers (new Issuu sign-ups, credit card required), so you can try one of our paid plans out for free to see which works best for you.

How do I upload content?

To get started publishing, all you have to do is upload your documents!

From your Publisher Homepage, just click “Upload” in the top right hand corner to begin. Your content will automatically be converted for the Issuu Reader. Once that’s done, you can easily view your content on Issuu, or copy the embed code (which is 2 lines long) and insert it directly onto your website.
