I’m trying to identify the name of the effect where two or more slightly different photos are looped back and forth to create a pseudo-3D look. It’s not a cinemagraph with only part of the image moving; the whole image alternates between viewpoints to simulate depth. What is this technique called?

According to Know Your Meme:

Wigglegrams (also known as stereographs) are animated images that simulate 3D effect by looping two or three frames of an object shot from the vantage points of the viewer’s right and left eyes. Similar to cinemagraphs, each instance usually consists of a few continuous frames that play in loop.

This effect is commonly called a wigglegram. More specifically, with two viewpoints it’s wiggle stereoscopy, and you may also see wiggle 3-D or wobble 3-D used.

It works by alternating two or more images taken from slightly different viewpoints, creating a stereoscopic/parallax effect that makes the subject appear to have depth when looped.
