Your photo, rebuilt in paper
Paper Craft first rebuilds your photo as a detailed diorama of layered, cut and folded colored paper, with soft shadows between the layers. Then it plays like a stop-motion film: the paper figure waves and turns its head, layers shift and flutter, and tiny paper details pop up in the background. It suits crafty people, teachers and anyone who wants a card that looks handmade.

Questions about this effect
Can I use a pet or landscape photo?
Yes. Paper Craft works with people, pets and places, and keeps the likeness, pose and colors recognizable.
Why does it cost more credits than some effects?
It makes a paper version of your photo before creating the video, and that extra step adds a few credits. You'll see the price before you generate.
Does it work with group photos?
It can, but one or two people keep the most detail, and the wave is designed for a single figure.
How long does it take?
Most videos are ready in a few minutes. You can leave the page; your video waits for you under Your videos.
What if a video fails?
If a video can't be made, its credits go back to your balance automatically.
