Your photos were never meant to sit still. HoloSnaps transforms ordinary pictures into mesmerizing holographic cards — the kind that shimmer, shift, and come alive the moment you tilt your phone. Inspired by the lenticular trading cards you grew up with, reimagined with the power of modern iPhone. Capture a moment, choose an effect, and watch a flat photo gain real motion and dimension. Then collect your cards in a beautiful pocket binder, feel every ridge under your fingertip, and relive your memories with a tap. THREE STUNNING EFFECTS • Classic Flip — Multiple photos that switch and animate as you turn your phone • Zoom — Push in and pull back through your shot as you tilt, for a striking sense of depth and motion • Flip Zoom — The best of both: frames that flip and zoom together for a dramatic, dynamic card SO REAL YOU CAN FEEL IT Every card carries a true lenticular sheen and ridge texture that catches the light as you move. Drag your finger across the surface and feel each ridge with precise haptics — complete with an authentic scratch-and-scrub sound that responds to how you touch it. A BINDER IN YOUR POCKET Collect your cards in a gorgeous trading-card binder. Reorder them with a drag, add captions, fine-tune the effect, and relive your memories with a tap. Your collection stays in sync across all your devices with iCloud — and when you want to show off, hold any card up to view it floating in AR. MADE TO SHARE Send cards to friends and family with a tap — over AirDrop, Messages, or Files. They'll get their own living copy to keep. EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO CREATE • Capture from your camera or pull in photos from your library • Frame each shot with intuitive pan and zoom • Set start and end framing to author your own Zoom and Flip Zoom cards • Add a Polaroid-style caption • Dial in effect intensity, focus, and direction • Save, edit, and re-frame anytime Your memories deserve more than a flat rectangle. Give them motion. Give them dimension. Give them HoloSnaps.
