Grid cut reveal demo
Photo quadrants slide from four directions into a crisp grid.
MAKE IT YOURS
Build this kind of shot
Keep the focal point large enough to read through separate panels. A simpler composition makes the staggered grid feel deliberate rather than busy.
- Open the Grid cut reveal editor and replace the sample content using its available controls.
- Adjust the layout, colours and timing. Preview the full motion before downloading.

Before you export
Is Paper Animators free to try?
Editing and previews are free. A free account includes 3 lifetime 720p video exports without watermarks. Unlimited plans add 1080p exports. See current plans and export limits.
Which format can I download?
Video exports use MP4 when supported by the editor and browser, with WebM available as a fallback. Check the export options in your chosen editor. An MP4 file does not have a transparent background; use the available green-screen option when you need to key out a background.
Can I use my own images and words?
Replace the samples wherever the editor supports custom content. Use media you own or have permission to use. Sample names, posts, maps and numbers are illustrative, not factual evidence. Read the export usage guide.
