What software are currently available for making magazines?

The current electronic magazine production software mainly includes the famous editing electronic magazine master, zmaker, zinemaker, pocomaker, and iebook.

Whether enterprise users are producing electronic magazines, electronic periodicals, electronic picture albums, or electronic internal publications, they are suitable to use the name of Magazine Master, which is also the simplest operation, the most complete function, and the best effect;

IEBOOK is suitable for users who don’t want to spend money, and poco is suitable for making photo albums. Neither zmaker nor zinemaker is recommended for you to use.

As for the finished appearance, zmaker, zinemaker, pocomaker, and iebook are basically the same. They all look like they are carved out of the same mold. The appearance is not very exquisite, but poco is better looking. The famous editor is more unique and grand, and looks much more refined and almost perfect.

Let me introduce them below:

1. A master of editing electronic magazines (with an official website).

(1) The most authoritative enterprise-level electronic magazine production software. Many governments, media, and companies use it. Therefore, it is recommended to use it if it is used for work. This is the only one so far. It is a software that is constantly being updated. Every time it is updated, there will always be new features, and the functions will become more and more powerful. The effect is the most exquisite among all softwares. You can find out the details by going to the official website, there are many cases;

(2) The only software that can support importing PDFs and converting images into electronic magazines (in fact, you can also continue editing based on the imported content after importing, or you can directly create it without PDF/images, (Same as making PPT);

(3) The formats generated are also the most common among the software mentioned at the beginning: *.EXE, *.APP (offline browsing format for Apple computers), HTML (uploaded to Space server online browsing), mobile version online browsing format, *.ZIP;

(4) When making, the templates include simulated page turning, and there are also left and right sliding page turning. What we are talking about here is computer browsing. Page turning method, if you need the mobile phone to simulate page turning or slide left and right to turn pages, you need to set it when generating;

(5) There are also some basic functions: adding shapes, text, Links, pictures, videos, flash, audio, dynamic text, passwords, bookmarks, directories, url links, etc.;

(6) The free version could not be output before, but now it can be output, but the free version will bring There is a watermark and it can only output 12 pages. Since this software is specially used by organizations, the free version is only for corporate users to try the effect before purchasing, not for free for those who do not want to buy. I also learned from the official website that you can make an electronic magazine with a small amount of money without purchasing software. There is no cracked version.

2.iebook (with official website).

(1) In 2012, the website was updated to the last version 2011. It has not been updated until now. Maybe it is resting on its laurels. First of all, I would like to remind you that it does not have an undo function, which is quite strange, so be careful and remember to save the file. It is still possible for personal use. After all, there is a cracked version and the free version can also be used. If it is used by an enterprise, don’t use this. It is recommended that you buy an editor’s version because IEBOOK has many bugs. If there is a problem If the file cannot be generated or other crashes occur, even their official website may not be able to solve it for you.

(2) This software has many templates, and you can just replace the content directly. It also has basic functions such as adding audio, video, and text. It is also possible to create directly without a template.

(3) The free version can be used, but it contains advertisements. There is a cracked version on the Internet that removes the advertisements, but I don’t know if it can be used.

(4) The free version can only generate EXE files. If you need to browse the computer web page online, you can find the official website and upload it to the official website. However, it can only be kept for one month, and you must use its free version instead of cracking it. version (the cracked version will not be uploaded to the official website for you).

(5) By the way, the online version can only be browsed on a computer, not on a mobile phone. If you need to browse on a mobile phone, you can only buy their Supreme Edition and Ultimate Edition, and the files must be uploaded separately. You need to upload it to their website if you want to watch it, and you need to upload it to your own server if you want to watch it on your computer.

3.zinemaker (no official website anymore).

The interface is simple, there is no visual page editing operation, and a large number of templates need to be downloaded. You must first use other software to create covers, catalogs, pages, etc., and find suitable templates to replace, or you can use them yourself if you know Flash. Modify templates in flash and make your own templates. In short, it has certain limitations and the operation is complicated. Most people cannot make a decent electronic magazine without spending some time learning or not understanding Flash.

Only e-books in EXE format can be generated. The advantage is that it doesn't crash very much and there are no ads.

4.zmaker (official website)

The last update was in 2009. The interface is as simple as zinemaker, requires a lot of templates, and is as difficult to use as zinemaker. It can only generate EXE format, and the official no longer allows the online version to be uploaded.

The advantage is that there are no ads.

5.pocomaker (with official website).

It has not been updated for a long time. Never used it. To be precise, it is an electronic photo album creation software, which is more suitable for photography enthusiasts.

However, it is said that the generated files have more advertisements and more problems.

Hope these can help you.
