Flash is now just a long and distant memory in the digital sphere, which makes us even more delighted to have successfully released our state of the art HTML5 publication viewer to the world—a form of technology that our users will be able to rely on for years to come.

But now is time for some greater changes. Today we are proud to unveil a re-imagined cutting-edge digital publishing experience using the latest technologies. We hope you like it!

The Technology

Our high performance document viewing solution offers publishers and readers alike an outstanding display of crystal-clear, full screen document reading. The new updates reflect the incredible technological advances in the industry and we are so proud to have created something that is both unique and technically sound.

The innovative Calaméo conversion technology is thoughtful of details and offers various new benefits for our users. Here are a few key improvements:

Better Reading Experience

With Calaméo, you don’t have to deal with blurred documents that you might see on some of our competitors’ platforms. Our new conversion offers an enhanced zoom, sharper text and vibrant images just like a print document!

Competitors’ Document Conversion Vs Calaméo’s Document Conversion

Smarter Document Conversion

We’ve made converting your print documents to digital easier than ever! Our document conversion technology enhances the HTML5 viewer for high-speed loading of documents, which makes publishing on Calaméo considerably more efficient.

Universal

Have no fear, our conversion technology is compatible with any browser and adapted to all desktop and mobile devices for smooth and seamless reading—no plugins required!

The Journey

Our team of developers worked long and hard to craft an advanced document conversion technology that not only serves to complement our sophisticated HTML5 viewer but is also tailored perfectly to our users’ needs.

Our team achieved amazing results and have succeeded in keeping 100% of the Calaméo features you know and love. Essentially, we’re offering you the same online solution but with excellent performance enhancements that will be available on all Calaméo publications; whether embedded on third party websites, blogs or social platforms.

Our new technology will progressively roll out by default on all future publications, we can’t wait for you to try it!

A new way to include videos in your publications is here!

In NEW
23 October 2018

When you’ve worked hard on creating a great publication, having more choices is always a good thing. That’s why we’re so pleased to announce that there is now a new option for including video in your digital publications on Calaméo!

From now on, you will be able to embed video elements that play directly on the page of your publication without opening a pop-up overlay. Your readers can move seamlessly from browsing an article to watching a video clip and back again.

All you need to do is open your publication in the Calaméo Editor, go to the page you want to modify and select the video icon.

Adjust the blue zone so that it appears where you wish the video to play and add the video URL and text label in the video properties window. Then, choose “Embedded” from the Display mode drop-down menu.

You can also choose whether you would like to display the video thumbnail, begin playing the video automatically when the reader turns to this page and mute any background music while the video plays.

💡 TIP: Want embedded videos to play with sound? Don’t opt for autoplay. By default, your readers must click for sound on videos that start playing automatically.

Save your work and view your publication to see the video embedded right on the page!

Of course, you’ll still be able to choose the classic pop-up player for your videos. Just select “Pop-up” from the Display mode options when adding video to your publication in the Calaméo Editor.

Including video from YouTube, DailyMotion and Vimeo directly inside of your publication is an exclusive feature of our PLATINUM plan. Upgrade today to enjoy all the advantages of professional digital publishing on Calaméo!
