Accordion Photo Animation

Turn a still photograph into a folding printed object for a fashion edit, portfolio opener or photo montage. Alternating folds create a clear rhythm across the image.

Editing tip

Choose a photo with a recognizable subject and test the fold depth before export. Important faces and small lettering can become difficult to read when they land across a deep crease.
