The new look of Scribd

  • Updated

February 26, 2025

We are excited to introduce a fresh look and feel for Scribd — an updated brand that reflects the essence of the product, the vibrancy of the community, and the optimism we feel for the future of knowledge as home to the world’s documents. Scribd continues to offer the same great product, now with a new look and brand experience. 

For nearly two decades, Scribd has been on a mission to democratize the exchange of information, empowering deep, dynamic discovery across every topic and niche. We hope this refresh makes it easier than ever for you to go deeper, find answers, and reward your curiosity.

Thank you for being a part of our global community of thinkers. 

What is Scribd?

Scribd is a user-generated document library for academics, professionals, and lifelong learners who want to explore, share, and keep specialized source information that can’t be found anywhere else. 

Freely search, read, browse, and save documents without a subscription. Unlimited downloads are yours to keep with a Scribd subscription for $11.99/month. 

What do I get with a Scribd subscription?

A subscription to Scribd includes access to millions of documents, an ad-free experience across your devices, quality source materials and research, personalized recommendations for deeper understanding, answers on the go with the Scribd app, downloads for offline reference, a global community of 90 million+ users, and complimentary access to SlideShare and Everand.

Why does Scribd look different?

We updated the look of Scribd for a refreshed brand experience that reflects the essence of the product and vibrancy of the community. The colors, wordmark, app look, and page designs are new, but Scribd is the same great product you know and trust.

How does the new look of Scribd change my experience with the product?

The new look and feel of Scribd is intended to make it easier than ever to explore, share, and discover more, but we did not change the product itself. A subscription to Scribd still includes an ad-free experience across your devices, quality source materials and research, personalized recommendations for deeper understanding, answers on the go with the Scribd app, downloads for offline reference, a global community of 90 million+ users, and complimentary access to SlideShare and Everand. 

Does the new Scribd impact my subscription price?

No, the new look does not impact your subscription price. You'll continue to be charged at your existing rate.
