About this effect

Kaleidoscope takes a triangular slice of your image and mirrors it around a central point, creating perfect radial symmetry. The effect is hypnotic and geometric — faces become mandalas, cityscapes become crystalline structures. Control the number of segments (3-12) and the rotation angle. Fewer segments create bold, chunky patterns; more segments produce intricate, lace-like designs. The result depends heavily on the source image — busy photos create chaotic patterns, while simple compositions produce clean geometric art.
