IrisFold: Pattern Maker

Design original iris-folding patterns with a precise, local-first workflow.

IrisFold turns a user-owned aperture into a numbered, colored construction pattern for cards, classes, and pattern listings.

CREATE ACCURATE PATTERNS • Choose triangle, square, or pentagon iris geometry. • Adjust spiral step, rotation, center opening, color lanes, and paper-strip width. • Reshape starter apertures or import a supported closed polygonal SVG. • Review every numbered fold before cutting paper.

PREPARE PRINT-READY FILES • Export calibrated Letter or A4 PDF files with a one-inch calibration square. • Create a matching SVG aperture guide. • See paper-strip counts by color lane. • Follow one numbered construction step at a time on iPhone or iPad.

SHARE YOUR WORK • Generate a seven-second vertical Iris Reveal video locally. • Share an editable .irisfold project for remixing. • Save projects on your device with no account required.

PRIVACY BY DESIGN Projects and imported artwork stay on your device. IrisFold has no ads, analytics SDK, developer backend, or third-party AI service.

You can export three distinct PDF/SVG pattern revisions free. A one-time IrisFold Lifetime purchase unlocks unlimited print-ready PDF and SVG exports. Creation, saving, preview, Build Steps, Iris Reveal, and Remix sharing remain free.
