Diagonal Carousel template: an overlapping chain of cards sliding diagonally

How Diagonal Carousel moves

Diagonal Carousel lines up overlapping cards along a diagonal and slides the chain through the frame, the cards further along always on top. Pick one of four directions, how much the cards overlap, and continuous or stepped movement. Six slots. The diagonal adds energy without 3D, which keeps type in your screenshots crisp, at 16:9 or 1:1.

In the studio you can tune its 7 settings along with the background, shadow and loop length, and your images never leave your device.
