Photo Orbit Carousel

Orbit Carousel is an infinite, circular photo gallery with a motion signature you won't find in another carousel: the ring of cards holds open, then contracts into a tight cluster and blooms back out in one quick, cubic-eased pulse — then keeps orbiting, forever. It's a flat, editorial take on the rotating gallery: identical upright cards on a perfect circle, no 3D cylinder, no drag gimmicks, just calm, deliberate, looping motion that makes a hero section feel alive.

Drop it into Framer, connect your photos, and it's moving in under a minute — every detail tunable from the properties panel, no code required.

Core Features

• Infinite orbital motion with adjustable speed and clockwise or counter-clockwise direction, so the loop matches your layout's flow.

• The cluster-and-bloom pulse: control how tightly the ring breathes, how often, and how snappy the move is — from a slow ambient swell to a crisp, rhythmic beat.

• Two ways to add images: drag connector dots straight to photos or frames on your canvas, or pick files in the Images list. Fewer images than cards? They cycle automatically.

• Identical, perfectly even cards: set one width and one height and every card follows — clean rings, no ragged collages.

• Organic drift and stagger controls add subtle per-card life, with a hover-lift micro-interaction and an optional pause-on-hover.

• Fully responsive by design: resize the frame from 400px to full-bleed and the entire composition — cards, ring, shadows — scales proportionally.

• Styled placeholders out of the box, so the component looks designed before you've connected a single photo.

Perfect For

Hero sections that need ambient motion without stealing focus; photographer and studio portfolios; wedding, travel, and event galleries; brand "moments" walls; product and lookbook showcases; agency landing pages that want one unmistakable signature animation.
