About Flipbook
What it is
Flipbook turns photos you shot as a series — a burst, or several tries at the same shot — into a short video that still reads as photographs. Each photo is held for a beat and cut hard to the next. Nothing is filtered, retouched, interpolated, or generated; the pixels in the video are the pixels you shot. The oldest version of this idea is on the home page: Eadweard Muybridge's 1878 galloping horse, eleven photographs played in order, public domain, exported with this tool.
Privacy
Your photos never leave your device. Decoding, alignment, and video encoding all happen in your browser — there is no upload step, no account, and no analytics. The one exception is explicit: if you ask for a shareable link, the finished video (never the photos) is uploaded so the link has something to point to. Payment happens on Stripe's servers; card details never touch this site.
The price
The first three videos are free. After that, a year of Flipbook is $12 — every video you can make, on any device. It is a single payment, not a subscription: nothing renews by itself, and when the year is over the app simply asks again. Sales tax, where it applies, is calculated and remitted by Stripe. Your license is a small code delivered on the purchase page and kept in your browser; paste it on any other device to license it too, and the link in your Stripe receipt re-issues it if you ever lose it. Because there are no accounts, the license is the whole system.
The code
Flipbook is built by Matthew Rascoff and the source is public at github.com/mzrascoff/flipbook.
