What is Flipbox? Introduction & Features - Oxilab

The Flipbox – Awesome Flip Boxes Image Overlay plugin is a powerful WordPress plugin that lets you create beautiful, interactive flip box cards for your website. With a simple hover (or tap on mobile), each card flips over to reveal a second side, perfect for showcasing services, team members, products, features, and more.

No coding skills required. Everything is managed through an easy-to-use visual editor right inside your WordPress dashboard.

What Is a Flip Box?

A flip box is an interactive card with two sides, a front face and a back face. When a visitor hovers their mouse over the card, it flips to reveal the back side. You can put different content on each side: an image and title on the front, a description and button on the back, for example.

Flip boxes are a great way to present information in a compact, visually engaging way without cluttering your page.

Common Use Cases

Services section: Show a service icon and name on the front, details and a “Learn More” button on the back
Team members: Display a photo and name on the front, bio and social links on the back
Product features: Highlight a feature visually on the front, explain it on the back
Portfolio items: Show a project image on the front, description and link on the back
Pricing cards: Display a plan name on the front, full details on the back
FAQ cards: Show a question on the front, the answer on the back

Fully Responsive

All flip boxes are 100% mobile-friendly. On touch devices, the flip effect is triggered by a tap instead of a hover, so your visitors always get the full experience.

Responsive Column Control

Display your flip boxes in 1, 2, 3, or 4 columns. The layout automatically adjusts for different screen sizes.

Custom CSS Support

Want to go further? Each flip box has a Custom CSS field where you can add your own styles for complete design freedom.

Lightweight & Performance-Friendly

Only the CSS and JavaScript needed for the styles you actually use are loaded on your pages. You can also disable Font Awesome and Google Fonts loading if your theme already handles them, keeping your site fast.

Free vs. Pro

Flipbox is available in both a free version (from the WordPress plugin directory) and a Pro version with additional advanced features. You don’t need to install a separate plugin for the Pro version, your existing installation can be unlocked with a license key.
