# Sharing a book

Every finished book gets a link. That link is the book — anyone who opens it reads the whole thing in a browser, with no account, no app, and no download.

Every finished book gets a link. That link is the book — anyone who opens it reads the whole thing in a browser, with no account, no app, and no download.

## The flipbook reader

Books open as a page-turning flipbook rather than a scrolling PDF. It works on a phone, a tablet, or a laptop, and it works for someone who has never heard of Doodara. This is the format to send to grandparents.

## Sending it

Copy the link from a finished book and send it however you normally send things — messaging app, email, a family group chat. There is nothing to install on the other end.

The link stays live, so a book made today is still readable next year. It is a reasonable thing to put in a birthday card.

## The public gallery

You can optionally publish a book to the [public gallery](https://www.doodara.com/gallery), where anyone browsing Doodara can read it. This is off by default — books are private to you and whoever has the link unless you choose otherwise.

The gallery is also the best place to see what the tool can actually do before you make anything: real books, in every art style, made by real people. You can filter by art style to see how each one reads at full length.

## Other ways out

Beyond the link, paid plans add:

* **Narration audio** — the book read aloud.
* **Social video** — a 9:16 vertical video of the book, for sharing where links do not work well.
* **Export formats** — PDF, EPUB, and image files.
* **Print-ready PDF** — sized for common print-on-demand requirements, if you want a physical copy.

See [pricing](https://www.doodara.com/pricing) for what is included where.

## Ownership

The story text and illustrations belong to you. Personal use is included with every book. Paid plans add commercial rights, so you can sell the result or self-publish it.
