This article explores each extension in depth and explains how these tools can transform your popup strategy and boost engagement rates dramatically.
1. Video Popup
The Video Popup extension lets you embed videos from YouTube, Vimeo, or local sources directly into a popup window. You can set autoplay, mute, and even customize the video dimensions. This is ideal for product demonstrations, webinar invitations, or explainer videos that need maximum visibility.
Use case: Showcasing a feature walkthrough for SaaS platforms or launching a teaser trailer for a product.
2. Image Gallery Popup
This popup extension enables you to create elegant, responsive image galleries using a lightbox layout. Perfect for photographers, designers, and eCommerce store owners, the Image Gallery popup can display multiple images in a slideshow format. With options for captions, zoom, and navigation, users get a seamless visual experience without leaving the page.
Use case: Fashion brands can display multiple angles of a product in a quick popup view.
3. Subscription Popup
The Subscription Extension in Instant Popup Builder is a powerful and modern tool designed for effective lead generation. It comes with 10+ professionally designed templates for various promotional needs, including product launches, updates, events, sales, and global/national observances. Each template is fully customizable, allowing you to easily tailor content to match your brand and campaign.
This extension enables you to create responsive opt-in forms integrated seamlessly with popular email marketing platforms such as Mailchimp, ConvertKit, and Sendinblue.
With built-in A/B testing, custom CTAs, and a modern autoresponder system, you can effortlessly turn visitors into subscribers. Set up automated responses to deliver welcome emails, coupon codes, or special offers immediately after signup, all without manual follow-up.
The built-in campaign builder allows you to send one-time or scheduled newsletters and promotions to specific segments of your user base. You can also design and save email templates using the template builder, so you can easily reuse or adapt them for future occasions, whether for autoresponders or full-scale email campaigns.

Use case: Offer a 10% discount to new visitors who sign up for your newsletter.

4. Exit Intent Trigger
Designed to reduce bounce rates and recover abandoning visitors, the Exit Intent extension tracks mouse movement and triggers a popup just before the visitor navigates away. You can combine this with a lead magnet or limited-time offer to retain attention.
“Exit-intent technology has been shown to increase conversions by 10–15%, especially in eCommerce,” says marketing consultant Jordan Hayes.
Use case: Display a special discount when a visitor tries to leave the checkout page.
5. Scroll Trigger
This popup extension activates based on how far a user scrolls down your page. It’s an effective way to engage users who are actively consuming content. You can trigger popups to suggest related articles, offer downloads, or prompt for signups once a user reaches a specific scroll depth.
Use case: Trigger a guide download popup after the user reads 70% of a blog post.
6. Smart Popup (AI Behavior)
One of the most advanced popup extensions in the suite, Smart Popup uses AI to analyze user behavior, time on site, visit history, and engagement metrics. It then auto-selects the best popup type, timing, and content to maximize conversions.
Use case: A returning visitor sees a personalized offer based on previous purchases or site interactions.
7. WooCommerce Integration
This extension provides WooCommerce-specific popup triggers based on cart status, checkout behavior, and order confirmation. You can show upsells, cross-sells, or coupon codes at various stages of the buying journey, enhancing average order value (AOV) and reducing abandonment.
Use case: Offer a related product with a discount when a user adds an item to their cart.
8. PDF Popup
With the PDF Popup extension, users can preview and download PDFs without navigating away from the site. This is ideal for whitepapers, brochures, case studies, or eBooks. You can add download buttons, lead capture gates, and even track downloads through analytics.
Use case: Gate a downloadable industry report behind a quick email form popup.
9. Popup Analytics
Popup Analytics offers real-time performance tracking, showing data such as impressions, click-through rates (CTR), and conversions. It helps marketers optimize campaigns by showing what’s working and what’s not.
“The key to effective popup marketing lies in testing and iteration—and that’s only possible with robust analytics,” says UX analyst Amanda Liu.
Use case: Monitor which lead magnet performs best by comparing form submissions on different popup types.
10. Custom Targeting
This popup extension lets you display popups based on specific user criteria—device type, browser, operating system, language, or even geographic location. It’s perfect for running region-specific promotions or customizing experiences based on user devices.
Use case: Show a mobile-exclusive app download popup to Android users only.

Use case: Display a support request form when a user visits the pricing page.
13. Age Verification Popup
Designed for sites with age-sensitive content such as alcohol, tobacco, or gambling, this extension verifies a user’s age through a prompt before granting access. Customize the layout, copy, and required age to stay compliant with local regulations.
