Photo Tiles

Problem

Static images in a grid feel flat compared to video. Photo presentations benefit from subtle motion to draw the eye.

Solution

Photo Tiles applies a Ken Burns effect (slow pan and zoom) to image cells with optional reveal animations on content change. The effect adds gentle motion to still images, making photo-heavy grids feel more dynamic.

UI Flow

  1. Enable via View > Photo Tiles or the toolbar toggle.
  2. All image cells begin a slow Ken Burns pan-and-zoom.
  3. When cells advance, a reveal animation transitions to the next image.
  4. Toggle off to display images statically.

Tier Availability

Cross-tier: unlocked by any purchase (Plus or Pro).

Known Limitations

  • Ken Burns direction is randomized per cell; manual direction control is not available.
  • Reveal animations add a brief transition delay (~0.5s) between images.

Marketing One-Liner

Bring still images to life with the Ken Burns effect and smooth reveal animations.
