A lens moving across a page
The glass magnifies what is under it and nothing else. Drawn live, in this tab.
Open the editorFourteen ways to look at a paragraph
A template is a complete look, not a preset nudge: the lens size, the power, the sweep, the paper and the face all move together.
Reading
Someone going through a page, at the pace a person actually reads.
Classic
The default loupe over warm paper, moving word by word at reading pace.
Skim
A wide lens at low power moving fast, the way someone scans rather than reads.
Close read
A small lens at high power, crawling. Every word gets its moment.
Notebook
Navy ink on white, no handle, a clean lens. Reads as a document rather than a book.
Evidence
Hard rims and high power. The lens is looking for one specific thing.
Evidence
Hard rim, high power, deliberate walk. The lens is looking for one specific thing.
Redaction
Off-white on charcoal with a cold rim, the look of a document nobody was meant to read.
Sweep
One continuous pass with no pauses, at speed. Motion first, legibility second.
Ink, paper and age, from foxed parchment to pure press black.
Vintage
Burgundy ink on aged cream with a heavy brass rim. The oldest-feeling of the set.
Foxed
Forest green on parchment, small lens, slow. A book that has been on a shelf a long time.
Press
Pure black on pure white at high power, no handle. Type as an object.
Royal
Royal blue on ivory with a generous lens. The most decorative of the papers.
Screen
Glass rather than paper, including a green key so the lens can be cut onto footage.
Glass
A clean lens with almost no rim over a flat surface. Reads as a zoom, not a loupe.
Terminal
Monospaced on near-black with a tight, fast walk. A log being scanned.
Keyed
A green screen behind the paper, so the lens can be cut onto other footage.

Questions
Is this free?
Opening it and previewing every template is free. Exporting needs a free account and spends one credit.
Can I put the lens over my own footage?
Use the Keyed template. It renders the paper on a green background so the lens can be keyed and composited onto anything.
Does the lens really magnify, or is it a zoom of the whole frame?
It magnifies only what falls inside the glass, and the rim refracts at the edge the way a real lens does. The page underneath stays at its own size.
Does it support Arabic?
Yes, with Arabic faces and right to left layout.
How long is the clip?
You set the traversal duration, plus a lead in and a tail hold for the export.
Does it run in the browser?
Entirely. Canvas for the page and the glass, WebCodecs for the encode. Nothing is uploaded.
What aspect ratios does it export?
9:16 for Reels and Shorts, 1:1 for feeds, 16:9 for YouTube, and 4:5.
Will it work on my phone?
The preview does. Exporting wants a desktop browser with WebCodecs.
