Every fold
built right in your browser
V-folds, pop-ups, one-sheet OA, floating platforms, slotted forms… The workbench solves real fold geometry live: drag a parameter and watch it open, nothing to install. Cards open as they reach the centre; click one to try it.

01 / V-foldV-foldRise from the spine
Two glue lines straddle the spine and lift a paper form as the pages open. A place for your main character.

Two planes meet above the spine, forming a ridge as the book opens flat.

A LITTLE HELP
Questions you may have
Where should a beginner start with pop-up cards?
Start with the tools and materials guide and the right-angle V-fold lesson. Download its free A4 SVG, follow the demo to make a plain-paper sample, then gradually add your own artwork.
Can I put my own photo in a pop-up card?
Yes. Uploading photos or illustrations, editing and previewing are free. Personalized making files need the appropriate export access, with a Creator Pass for imported-artwork projects. See Pricing for the full scope.
What should I check before printing?
Check dimensions and paper size, and inspect closing, intermediate openings, full opening and closing again. Print a plain-paper sample at actual size and check creases, glue areas and closed-page fit before using your final materials.
