How will the PDF quality compare to the online viewer?

The extension is designed to use the highest-resolution page images served by Issuu, so quality is expected to match what you see in the flipbook at full zoom.

Will it work on publications where downloads are disabled?

Yes, it is intended to process any Issuu publication regardless of publisher download settings, as it fetches the page images directly from the viewer.

Can I save embedded Issuu flipbooks from other sites?

The extension is being developed to detect and save embedded Issuu publications on third-party websites, just as it would on issuu.com.

How will I start a download?

You will navigate to a flipbook, let it load, click the extension icon to detect the publication, and then hit a download button to begin fetching pages.

Will there be a progress indicator during conversion?

A progress bar is planned to show the current page count, download speed, and estimated time remaining while the extension fetches and assembles the PDF.

How long will a typical magazine take to save?

Short publications are expected to finish in seconds, while a 100-page magazine may take one to two minutes depending on connection speed and image resolution.

Will the text in the PDF be selectable?

The output PDF will be assembled from page images, so text is not expected to be natively selectable, but you can apply OCR later if needed.

Will my downloads be private?

All page fetching and PDF assembly are intended to happen locally in your browser, with no data sent to external servers, keeping your downloads private.

Happy Users

Recent customer feedback

Short, practical feedback from people using Issuu Downloader in real workflows.

Useful for offline catalog access

I work in event planning and vendors send Issuu links for their catalogs constantly. Being able to save them as PDFs for offline reference during site visits has been invaluable.

Saved an important research document

Needed to archive a university research publication hosted on Issuu before the department took it down. The PDF came out at full quality with all 86 pages intact.

Flipbooks to PDFs in one click

The flipbook format is nice to browse but terrible for printing or annotating. Now I convert to PDF first and mark up the document however I want.
