Cover Flow template: the classic cover flow carousel

How Cover Flow moves

Cover Flow shows one card flat in the centre with the others tilted and stacked on either side, and steps through them one at a time, the cover flow look people know from music libraries. Side tilt, gap and a flow angle that slants the whole deck are adjustable, and it can also scroll continuously. Five slots. A familiar, readable carousel for album art, book covers or app screens, at 16:9.

In the studio you can tune its 9 settings along with the background, shadow and loop length, and your images never leave your device.
