Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Book Creator is a web-based and iPad tool for teachers and students creating multimedia digital books. It combines text, images, drawings, audio, video, PDFs, templates, comic panels, and embedded media in a classroom-focused workspace. The product supports primary and secondary education, varied learner abilities, individual teachers, schools, and districts. Its broad device coverage includes web, Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, giving classrooms flexibility across existing hardware.
The free Starter plan includes one library, up to 40 books, unlimited students, and core creativity features. The Premium plan adds unlimited libraries, 1,000 books, real-time collaboration, Class View, a translation tool, and in-app chat support. Schools and Districts adds Premium for all teachers, an admin dashboard, Central Libraries, LMS integrations, and a Dedicated Teacher Success Manager. The separate Book Creator for iPad offering includes an iPad app, a one-off purchase, and Apple School Manager deployment. Integrations include Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology, Microsoft Teams, Google, Microsoft, Clever, ClassLink, Canva, Giphy, The Noun Project, Google Maps, and 3D/AR models.
Its strongest fit is collaborative, multimedia learning rather than conventional long-form publishing. Teachers and students can work together in real time, publish books privately or publicly, import PDFs and Book Creator EPUB files, and export books as EPUB or PDF files. Comic layouts add panels, stickers, captions, speech bubbles, and backgrounds, while accessibility support includes screen readers, captions, transcripts, and alt text. LMS assignments and grading, digital portfolios, and book analytics extend the product beyond creation. Choose Book Creator for classroom projects, shared libraries, and varied media; choose an alternative if reflowable layouts are central to the publishing workflow.
