Publishing on Issuu begins with uploading. Once you upload, we automatically convert your publication to display beautifully on desktop and mobile. Sometimes, uploaded documents fail during the conversion process, which typically happens when the document is not properly prepared. Here are guidelines to ensure your uploads are a success:
File size
Files must not exceed 500 pages. If you’re on a Basic plan, documents cannot be larger than 100MB. For Premium, the maximum file size is 500MB. File naming
Readers will see your document’s name in the URL and other places on Issuu, so instead of “final_ draft_magazinename_date_ version1234x.pdf,” be descriptive. Layout
Use single-page spreads only. Our system automatically converts all documents to double-page spreads, so if you upload your publication with double-page spreads, each spread will show up as four pages. Not good.
When exporting to PDF, check for the following:
Pages Our system will turn your publication back into spreads.
Tagged PDF This helps Issuu optimize your publication.
Hyperlinks Checking this box will allow us to auto-detect the page-to-page, web and video links in your document.
