A photo folded into mirrored wedges that spin with sideways sweeps and zoom as the cursor moves.

Where the Image Kaleidoscope works best
Fashion, art, music and festival brands, and playful image heroes.
How it is built
A full-screen shader folds an image into mirrored wedges; sideways movement spins the mirrors, height sets the zoom and a click changes the mirror count. The whole effect is plain three.js in one module script. It renders only while it is on screen and caps the pixel ratio on high-density displays to protect performance.
Add it to your website
- Add a Code, Embed or Custom HTML block where the effect should sit (Webflow, Framer, WordPress, GoHighLevel, Shopify or plain HTML).
- Paste the snippet. It is one element and one script; three.js loads from a CDN.
- Edit the colours, images and words in the settings block, then publish.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Image Kaleidoscope template free?
Anyone can open it live and try the interaction. Copying the code is included with a Scrollhaus plan.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. On touch screens it runs a gentle automatic motion so the scene is never still, and taps trigger the click interaction.
Do I need Spline or three.js experience?
No. It is one HTML element and one module script. Colours, text and images live in a settings block at the top.
