What are the two types of Parallax implementation on my Webflow Codes and Tutorials site?
TL;DR
- Use Webflow's Interactions panel to add scroll-based parallax with “Scroll into View” or “While Scrolling in View” triggers to move elements at different speeds.
- Create mouse-based parallax using the “Mouse Move in Viewport” trigger with 2D transforms to animate elements in response to cursor movement.
Webflow supports two main types of parallax effects that you can implement on your Codes and Tutorials site: Scroll-based Parallax and Mouse-based Parallax.
1. Scroll-Based Parallax
- This effect causes elements to move at different speeds as the user scrolls down the page.
- In Webflow, it’s implemented using scroll animations created in the Webflow Interactions panel.
- You can configure elements to move vertically or horizontally at varying speeds using Scroll into View or While Scrolling in View interactions.
- Common use cases include background images that move slower than foreground content, creating a depth illusion.
2. Mouse-Based Parallax
- This effect moves elements in response to the user’s mouse movement across the screen.
- It’s set up using the Mouse Move in Viewport trigger in the Interactions panel.
- You can define 2D transforms (like move or rotate) to make layers follow the cursor, either subtly or dramatically.
- Often used for homepage hero sections or interactive components.
Summary
Your Webflow Codes and Tutorials site can showcase two types of parallax: scroll-based (driven by page scrolling) and mouse-based (driven by cursor movement), both configured using Webflow interactions and animations.
