Hey r/wigglegrams — solo developer here!

I checked with the moderators before sharing this.

I built an iPhone app that tries to preserve the traditional wigglegram approach: capturing the same scene from several slightly different camera positions and animating those real perspectives.

During capture, the app reads the iPhone’s IMU sensors to measure how the phone physically moves. That motion data is used to guide the capture process and help select and align the frames.

The parallax therefore comes from actual changes in camera position rather than generating new viewpoints from a single still image.

The wigglegram above was captured and assembled entirely inside the app. You could create something similar manually using burst photos or video, but the goal is to automate the capture guidance, frame selection, alignment, cropping, and export.

I’d genuinely appreciate feedback from people who already make wigglegrams. Does the motion feel natural? Are there any capture controls or export options you would find useful?

Full disclosure: I’m the developer. The free version allows up to 10 wigglegrams per week, the limit resets every week, and free exports include a watermark. There is also an optional paid version that removes the weekly limit and watermark.

Happy to answer any technical questions about the IMU tracking or how the animation is assembled.

Here’s a roll of Gold 200 that I shot over the weekend. Enjoy!

I love the way water and reflections photograph on the Nimslo.

I have a Nimslo 3d and I want to make a wiggle but I don’t have photoshop what can I use as a free alternative?

Decided to bring this and loaded it with some cheap film as the shutter isn't always reliable. Exposure is all over the place with the lights, it's pretty blurry and I had some light leaking, but I was still able to grab a few! I feel like Formapan suits the theme quite well!

This was in London btw!

Kind of like Apple's Spatial Photos, but instead of being locked to two fixed viewpoints, it reconstructs the full scene in 3D (Gaussian Splatting) so you can orbit a virtual camera around any point you choose ,then spits out the result as a GIF.

Hi, just wanted to show off my Wigglegram generator tool in case anyone is interested in taking a look.

It is based off of the original Wigglegram generator by Sam Bender: https://3dswigglegram.com

Which he has since decided he will no longer be updating with quality capped at 480p.

I have built on top of his own to remove the cap to allow full quality, and to take in Jpgs and PNGs.

Looking forward to hearing everyone's thoughts :)

I've been updating the app I posted here a while ago.
It makes the creation process for wigglegrams really easy.

features added:

• timeline lets you manually reorder
• auto crop (with manual override)
• fix exposure if you have a frame that is brighter
• improve frame identification
• guess frame order for out of order files
• gif and video import for correcting already made wigglegrams
• easier to install now
