Photo Orbit template: loose photos circling like a scattered ring

How Photo Orbit moves

Photo Orbit circles your images round an oval ring, each one dropped at a slight angle like a loose print on a table. The ring holds more cards than there are slots, so eight images repeat into a fuller circle. Motion can be linear, fast-slow-fast or one card at a time, with a gentle size pulse. A warm fit for photography, illustration and event recaps, at 1:1 or 4:5.

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