Paperform
Origami, one fold at a time
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Watch paper take shape in 3D. Explore many origami models, replay every fold and follow along at your own pace on iPhone, iPhone Duo and iPad.
Turn a sheet of paper into something worth keeping.
Paperform brings origami to life with animated 3D instructions you can pause, replay and explore from different angles. Follow each fold at your own pace, with a real sheet of paper beside you.
SEE HOW EACH FOLD WORKS
Watch the paper move, scrub through a fold and replay the parts you want to see again. Rotate the model, zoom in, or switch between perspective, top and side views.
FIND YOUR NEXT PROJECT
Browse 58 models, from paper planes and simple animals to flowers and modular designs. Filter by paper format and difficulty, and check the paper sizes and estimated folding time before you begin. Some projects use multiple sheets or require scissors; the model details tell you what to prepare.
EXPLORE BEFORE YOU FOLD
Preview the finished model in 3D or watch the folding sequence from beginning to end. Choose red, white, black, gold or green paper for the on-screen model.
MADE FOR YOUR SCREEN
Fold on iPhone, iPhone Duo or iPad. On wider screens, keep the instructions and controls on the left while the paper model has room on the right.
KEEP FOLDING OFFLINE
The lessons and models are included in the app, so you can follow them without an internet connection. No account is required.
Paperform contains advertising: a banner in the model library and occasional full-screen ads when leaving a completed lesson. There are no banners over the folding instructions.
Pick a model, find a sheet of paper, and make the first fold.
