Build your own component with AI
The 3D Photo Carousel lets you display a circular gallery of images in true 3D space.Users can drag to rotate the carousel or click an image to view it in fullscreen mode.With built-in auto-rotation, parallax motion, and interactive depth layers, it’s perfect for hero sections, product showcases, and immersive photo galleries.
✨ Key Features
True 3D Rotation — Each image is positioned around a circular axis, creating a fully rotatable 3D cylinder of visuals.
Interactive Drag Control — Users can click and drag to manually rotate the carousel.
Auto-Rotation — Smooth automatic spinning at your chosen speed.
Fullscreen Preview — Click any image to expand it beautifully with a cinematic overlay animation.
Parallax Effect — Optional background and foreground elements move subtly with scroll for extra depth.
Responsive Layout — Automatically adjusts to screen size, maintaining perfect proportions on mobile and desktop.
Performance Optimized — Built with Framer Motion and lightweight transforms for fluid 60fps performance.
🖼️ Default & Custom Images
The component includes a built-in set of images (sourced dynamically from picsum.photos) for quick setup.You can easily replace these with your own visuals by enabling Custom Images in the right-hand panel.
🧠 How It Works
The carousel arranges your images evenly around a circular 3D axis.It uses rotateY transforms and perspective for a realistic depth effect.Auto-rotation is handled with smooth interval updates, while user drag input is translated into rotation velocity using Framer Motion’s spring physics.
When a user clicks on an image:
The carousel pauses.
The image animates to fullscreen using layout transitions.
Clicking anywhere closes the overlay and resumes rotation.

🪄 Tips
Use auto rotation for subtle motion in hero sections.
Enable parallax for added realism and depth.
Keep images square (1:1) for best results with 3D geometry.
Combine with a gradient or radial background for a polished cinematic look.
