Frequently asked questions.

🌀 What Is a Kinegram (Scanimation)?
A motograph or barrier-grid animation is a type of optical illusion where a static image appears to move when a striped transparent overlay is slid across it.

What is a kinegram?
Barrier-grid animation, also known as a kinegram, and "picket fence" animation, which was originated in the late 1890s and then re-popularized. The barrier-grid technique and its history overlap with parallax stereography for 3D autostereograms.

What exactly is a kinegram or scanimation?
It’s a visual illusion where a still image appears to move when a striped transparent overlay slides across it. It's a fun and surprising animation effect — no screens or apps needed!

Do I need any special equipment to see the animation?
Nope! Just print the image on regular paper and the grid on transparent film. Slide the grid slowly over the image — that’s it!

Can I use this for commercial projects?
Absolutely! These animations are great for packaging, branding, promotions, gifts, and more. Let us know how you plan to use it.
