Music Press Kit

Turn your EPK into an interactive flipbook that promoters, venues and writers open in one tap with Flipbooks AI. The bio, the press shots, the tracks, the tour history and the booking contact sit inside one link that turns like a printed magazine, backstage on a phone or in a booking office on a laptop. Built for bands, solo artists, managers and publicists. You pay nothing for any of it. No advertising, no watermark left on your press shots, and no limit on the number of kits you keep live at once.

How to Make an Electronic Press Kit

1

Upload Your Kit

Upload the EPK PDF you already designed. Flipbooks AI reads common formats and turns the bio, photos and tour pages into an interactive flipbook preview with realistic page turns straight away.

2

Add Music and Branding

Set your colours, use your sleeve art on the cover, embed a track and a live video, and make the booking email tappable. Add a download link for high resolution press shots while you are there.

3

Publish and Pitch

Publish in one click, copy the share link into your pitch email or a festival application, embed the kit on your site, or print a QR code for a demo card. Promoters open it with one tap.

How to Create a Music EPK Flipbook

Building the kit takes minutes and needs no design software. Start with the EPK PDF you already have, exported from whatever you designed it in. Upload it and Flipbooks AI builds the flipbook preview straight away. Choose a page turn style, add your logo or your record sleeve as the cover, embed a track and a live video, make the booking address tappable, and decide whether the kit is open to anyone or sits behind a password. Check it on your phone the way a promoter will, publish with one click, then copy the link into the pitch you were about to send.

What Is a Music Press Kit?

A music press kit, which almost everyone calls an EPK, is the document you send when a promoter, a venue or a writer asks to know more about the act. It carries a short bio and a longer one, press photos, a few tracks or the links to them, live video, tour history, quotes from reviews, and the contact for booking and management. Flipbooks AI takes that kit as a PDF and turns it into an interactive flipbook with pages that turn like a printed magazine. The person you sent it to opens one link and sees the whole story in the order you meant, instead of digging through a zip file of loose photos.

What Goes Inside a Music EPK

A kit that gets read has a shape. Open with a cover carrying the act name and one line that says what you sound like. Follow with a short bio of about eighty words, then the longer one for anyone writing about you. Put two or three press photos next, credited to the photographer. Add the music, the live video, the tour history with dates and cities, and any press quotes with the publication named. Close with the contact page: booking, management, publicist, socials and streaming links. A kit that stops there is stronger than one padded out.

How This Differs From a Company Press Kit

How This Differs From a Company Press Kit

We have a separate page for the general press kit, the one a company sends journalists with a boilerplate paragraph, logo files, headshots and product photography. A music EPK is a different animal and this page is about that one. It has to carry sound and video, it lives or dies on photographs, and it is read by bookers as often as by press. A company kit leads with the announcement, while an EPK leads with what the act sounds like and how much of a crowd it draws. If you are building a corporate kit, use the other page. If you are pitching shows, stay here.

Why Send Your EPK as a Flipbook

Most EPKs arrive as an attachment somebody has to download, or as a drive folder that opens on a sign in screen. Both cost you the first ten seconds, and ten seconds is usually all a booker gives you. A flipbook opens straight in the browser with the cover already on screen. The page turn keeps people moving, so the tour history and the press quotes further in actually get read. When a support slot changes or a single lands, you update the same link and everyone who has it sees the new version. Nothing needs resending, and no out of date kit keeps circulating with the wrong dates on it.

Create Your Music EPK

Match the Kit to Your Artwork

An EPK should look like it came from the same place as the record. Flipbooks AI lets you set your own colours, use your sleeve art or a live shot as the cover, choose a background that suits the palette, and pick a navigation style that stays out of the way. Nothing on the page carries our name. If you run several projects, or a label with a few acts, each one can have its own look while the whole set is built the same way. The reader ends up with the same feeling they get from the record sleeve, which is exactly the point.

Add Tracks, Video and Streaming Links

This is where a flipbook pulls ahead of a PDF. Embed audio so a track plays on the page instead of waiting for a download. Add a live video from a show with a decent crowd, which convinces a promoter faster than any paragraph. Link out to Spotify, Apple Music, Bandcamp, SoundCloud and YouTube, and to a radio session if you have one. Add buttons that open your booking calendar or a licensing enquiry form. Keep it to a few well chosen pieces: one strong live video beats six average ones.

Features Built for Artists and Managers

Flipbooks AI gives an EPK everything a booker asks for. Embed a track so the music plays on the page, and add a live video from a recent show. Link straight out to Spotify, Bandcamp, YouTube or SoundCloud for the full catalogue. Make the booking email and phone number tappable so nobody has to copy anything out. Add a download link to a folder of high resolution press shots, put the tech rider and stage plot on their own pages, and let the reader search the kit for a city or a festival name. Every one of those is included free, and nothing stamps a logo across your artwork.

A Press Quotes Page That Reads Well

Quotes work when they are honest and attributed. Give each one the publication or station name and the date, keep it short, and put the strongest at the top rather than burying it. Two or three real lines from small outlets read better than a wall of praise with no source. If you have radio play, a playlist add or a festival slot worth naming, that belongs here too. Do not invent or trim a quote until it means something the writer did not say, because bookers read the same press you do and one of them will notice.

Tour History and Upcoming Dates

Tour History and Upcoming Dates

Promoters look at this page before any other. List the shows you have played with the venue, the city and the year, and be straight about whether you headlined or supported. Add upcoming dates with links to tickets. If you have sold a venue out, say so plainly, because a booker is working out how many people you can bring on a Wednesday. Keep it current, since a kit still showing last spring says nothing is happening now. Updating a date takes a minute and the link stays the same.

The kit works the same whether you are a solo singer with three songs out, a five piece touring band, a DJ chasing a festival slot, a jazz trio, a choir, or a small label sending a roster. A two page kit for a support slot is as quick to build as a twenty page label sampler with a page for each artist. Upload the PDF you already designed and it becomes a flipbook in minutes. Keep one kit for venues, another for press, and a third for sync and licensing, each on its own link, so the person reading only sees the part that concerns them.

Tech Rider and Stage Plot Pages

Sound engineers want the technical pages, and they want them accurate. Put the input list, the backline, the stage plot and the monitor requirements on their own pages so nobody has to email you for them at four in the afternoon on show day. Keep the plot readable at phone size, and make sure it matches what you actually turn up with. A rider that overstates what you need creates an argument at load in. A clear one earns you a friendlier soundcheck, and most acts forget to include it at all.

High Resolution Photos for Print

High Resolution Photos for Print

Here is an honest limit worth knowing. The images inside the flipbook are compressed so the kit opens quickly on a phone, which is right for reading but not right for a listings page going to print. So do both. Show the press shots at readable quality in the kit, then add a download link to a folder of full size files, credited to the photographer, with a line saying which shot is current. A picture editor who can grab the right file in ten seconds is far more likely to run it.

Reads Well on a Phone Backstage

Bookers read on the move: on a train, in a green room, on the walk between two venues. Flipbooks AI makes sure the kit holds up on a small screen. The layout reshapes itself for a phone and the page turns stay quick under a thumb. Someone can swipe from the bio to the tour dates, pinch to zoom into a press shot to see whether it will print, tap to start a live video, and tap again to email you back. It all happens in the browser, so there is no app to install and no account to make before the kit will open.

Help Venues and Writers Find You Online

A kit that lives on a link can be found rather than only sent. Embedding the flipbook on your own site adds real content to the page and keeps visitors there longer, which helps the site rank. Give it a plain title with the act name, the genre and your home city, because that is what a promoter types when they are filling a bill with local support. Add the same link to your Bandcamp profile and your socials. A kit you built for one pitch quietly keeps working for the ones you never sent.

Loads Fast on Venue Wifi

Loads Fast on Venue Wifi

Venue wifi is famously bad, and a booker checking your kit from an office with three tabs open has no patience either. Flipbooks AI compresses images without leaving your press shots looking soft, and shows the first pages while the heavier ones finish loading behind them. The kit opens on weak mobile data as well as it does on a desk. That is not a small detail: a kit that takes six seconds to appear gets closed, and the act that sent it never finds out why nobody replied.

Flipbooks AI is completely free, and the parts an artist actually needs are not held back for a paid tier. Other tools put their own logo across your cover, cap the number of kits you can keep live, or charge before they will tell you whether anyone opened it. Here you get unlimited kits, unlimited pages, clean pages carrying only your own artwork, and every option switched on at no cost. That matters when you are self releasing and the budget is going on rehearsal rooms and van hire rather than on software.

One Kit Per Pitch: Festivals, Venues, Radio

The same act needs different kits. A festival wants crowd photos, the size of the rooms you fill and your availability. A venue wants ticket numbers and the tech rider. A radio plugger wants the single, the release date and a clean edit. A sync agent wants moods and instrumentals. Flipbooks AI lets you keep all four live at once, each on its own link, each tracked separately so you learn which pitch lands. Building a new version means swapping a few pages, not starting again, and the ones you are not using cost nothing to leave up.

What Artists and Managers Say About the EPK Maker

I manage two bands and used to send a zip file with photos, a Word bio and three streaming links. Half the promoters never opened it. Now it is one link with a live video on page three, and I can see who read as far as the tour dates. Two support slots this spring came from kits I could tell had been opened, so I followed up.

Product catalogs

I am a solo artist with one EP out and no budget. I laid the kit out in Canva, uploaded it here, and had a flipbook with my song playing on the second page the same evening. No watermark, nothing asking me to upgrade. A venue booker told me it was the tidiest kit he had been sent that month.

Client lookbooks

Running a small label, I keep a kit per artist plus a roster sampler, all on separate links. Festival applications used to mean rebuilding a PDF every time. Now I swap two pages and send. The tech rider living in the kit has also stopped the day of show emails asking for our input list.

School office

Newsletters and programmes

Our publicist asked for high resolution photos and I had been burying them in a Dropbox link nobody clicked. Putting a clear download page in the flipbook fixed it, and a regional paper ran the right shot instead of a screenshot from Instagram. Setting the whole kit up took an afternoon.

Keep Unreleased Music Behind a Password

Keep Unreleased Music Behind a Password

Album campaigns run months ahead of release, and the kit often carries a track nobody should hear yet. Password protection keeps that kit to the people you invite, and you can switch downloading off. Be sensible with it though: a password stops casual sharing, it does not make a file impossible to pass on, and anyone you send the password to can send it to somebody else. For a first listen of a record that is not announced, a password plus a small list of trusted names is the right amount of care. For master files, use a proper delivery service.

Create Your Music EPK

Send the Kit to Venues and Press in Seconds

Once the EPK is ready, getting it out takes a moment. Copy the share link into a pitch email, a booking form, a DM to a promoter, or the notes field of a festival application. Embed the flipbook on your own website so a writer who found you through a review can read the kit without asking for it. Print a QR code on the back of a demo card or a poster so someone at the show can open it on the spot. Password protection keeps a kit for one label or one agent private until you are ready for it to travel further.

Works With the Tools You Already Use

None of this asks you to change how you already work. Design the kit in Canva, InDesign, Affinity Publisher, Photoshop or even Google Slides, export a PDF, and upload it. Point the links at whatever you already run: Bandcamp, Linktree, a booking calendar, a Google Form for enquiries, your mailing list signup. Drop the embed code into a Squarespace, Wix or WordPress site so the kit sits on your own domain. The tool does one job, does it free, and leaves the rest of your setup alone.

10/10Yes1

Flipbooks AI builds unlimited EPK flipbooks free, with no watermark on your artwork, embedded tracks and live video, tappable booking contacts, reader analytics and pages that open fast on a phone. Suited to bands, solo artists, managers and publicists.

Bandzoogle

5.2/10No2

Bandzoogle builds artist websites and does the music side properly, with a store, a mailing list and a press kit page built in. It is a subscription and the kit lives inside your site, so it fits acts who want everything hosted in one place rather than a standalone kit to attach to a pitch.

Sonicbids

7.1/10No3

Sonicbids is built around applying to festivals and gigs, and the EPK there is shaped by what those applications ask for. That focus is its strength. It is a paid membership and the kit follows their layout, so there is little room to make it look like your record.

Canva

8.3/10No4

Canva is a good place to lay the kit out, with plenty of templates and easy photo work. Its viewing options stay basic though: no realistic page turns, no embedded audio player on the page, and none of the reading analytics that tell you whether a promoter got past the bio.

Squarespace

6.4/10No5

Squarespace makes handsome artist sites and handles video and tour date blocks well. It is a monthly plan, and a press page on a website is not the same thing as a kit you can send, password, version per pitch and track separately for each promoter.

Adobe InDesign

7.8/10No6

InDesign gives you full typographic control and is what most designed kits are made in. It needs a paid subscription and real skill, and it stops at the PDF: no page turning reader, no share link, no way of knowing whether the file was ever opened.

Google Drive Folder

6.9/10No7

A Drive folder is free and fine for handing over raw files. As a press kit it asks the reader to do the work: files open in whatever order they were named, some links ask for a sign in, and nothing about it looks like the act it belongs to.

Issuu

8.1/10No8

Issuu is a long standing publishing platform with a big reader base and decent embedding. Its free tier carries Issuu branding and limits uploads, so a kit that looks like yours alone usually means paying, which is a lot for one EPK.

Heyzine

6.5/10No9

Heyzine turns PDFs into tidy flipbooks quickly and the editor is friendly. The free plan limits how many books you keep live and adds its own branding, and the richer options sit on the paid tiers, which is awkward when you want a kit per pitch.

Plain PDF Attachment

7.6/10No10

Emailing the PDF costs nothing and everyone knows how to open it. It is also flat: no music on the page, no video, no tappable contact, no update after it has gone, and no idea whether the promoter you sent it to ever opened the thing.

Keep an Archive of Every Album Cycle

Keep an Archive of Every Album Cycle

Keep the kit from every release rather than overwriting it. The one from the first EP, the one from the album, the festival version from the summer you played eleven of them: they all stay saved and ready to open. It is genuinely useful when a writer asks for background, when a new manager joins and needs the history in one place, or when you relaunch a record and want the old copy as a starting point. There are no folders of loose files to keep, and nothing is lost the next time a laptop dies on tour.

Pitching without feedback is guesswork. Flipbooks AI shows you how many people opened the kit, which pages held them, and where they stopped. If everyone reaches the tour history and nobody gets as far as the press quotes, move the quotes forward. If a kit sent to twelve venues was opened twice, the problem is the email, not the music. Be honest about what the numbers are: they tell you a kit was read, not that a booking is coming. Used that way they still save you weeks of sending the same pitch into silence.

Accessible for Everyone Who Opens It

Some of the people reading your kit use a screen reader, and some cannot use a mouse at all. Flipbooks AI handles the basics so you do not have to think about it. Screen reader support means the bio and the dates get read out. Keyboard navigation gets somebody through the kit without a trackpad. Readable type and clear contrast help anyone reading on a bright street or on a phone at the end of a long day. It costs you nothing and it means the kit works for every person you send it to.

Frequently Asked
Music Press Kit

What is an EPK and what goes in one?

EPK stands for electronic press kit. It is the document you send to promoters, venues and press, holding a short and long bio, press photos, music, live video, tour history, press quotes and your booking contact. Flipbooks AI turns that PDF into a flipbook on one link.

Is the music press kit maker really free?

Yes. It is completely free with no watermark, no ads and no page limits. Embedded audio and video, password protection, custom branding, sharing and analytics are all included, and there is no cap on how many kits you keep live.

Can I put my music and live video inside the kit?

Yes. Embed audio so a track plays on the page, add a live video from a show, and link out to Spotify, Bandcamp, SoundCloud or YouTube for the rest of the catalogue. Booking emails and phone numbers can be made tappable too.

How do promoters open the flipbook?

They tap the link. It opens in any browser with no app, no download and no account, so a booker reading on a phone gets the cover straight away. You can also embed the kit on your site or print a QR code on a poster or demo card.

Can I send high resolution photos to press?

The images inside the flipbook are compressed so it loads fast, which is fine on screen but not for print. Add a download link to a folder of full size files with the photographer credited, and a picture editor can grab the right shot in seconds.

Will my EPK work on a phone?

Yes. Every kit is responsive and runs in the browser, so the page turns stay smooth on phones, tablets and laptops. Readers swipe between pages, pinch to zoom into a press shot, and tap to play a track or a video.

Can I keep an unreleased track private?

You can put the kit behind a password and switch downloading off, which is right for a record that is not announced. Remember that a password stops casual sharing rather than making a file impossible to pass on, so send it to a short list you trust.

Can I update the kit after I have sent it?

Yes. Add a new date, swap a press photo, drop in a fresh quote or fix a typo whenever you like, and republish. Everyone who already has the link sees the current version, so there is no need to send anything again.
