Scribd began with a simple observation — that the desire for self-expression through the written word is as old as humanity itself. But even with the proliferation of blogs and other self-publishing tools, there was no easy way for average people to publish to a readership of millions.
Today, Scribd is the largest social publishing company in the world — the website where more than 60 million people each month discover and share original writings and documents.
Scribd's vision is to liberate the written word — to turn everyone into a publisher and create the best possible reading experience on the web and mobile platforms.
Democratizing Publishing
With Scribd's iPaper document reader, anyone can easily upload and immediately share their original works on Scribd.com or any other website. iPaper transforms ”print” files like PDF, Word or PowerPoint into web document — with all the fonts, layout and artwork that makes your document unique.
Your work can be shared with Scribd's community of passionate readers, and because your document is indexed for search engine optimization, your screenplay, novel or even sheet music and recipes can be discovered by the world.
At Scribd, we built a technology that's broken barriers to traditional publishing and in the process also built one of the largest readerships in the world.
