Can You Do Parallax Scroll in Figma?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 11:34 pm

Parallax scrolling is a web design technique in which the background image moves at a slower rate than the foreground image, creating an illusion of depth.

The parallax effect can be used to create interesting and interactive web designs. And best of all, it’s relatively easy to implement in Figma. In this article, we’ll show you how to create a basic parallax scrolling effect in Figma.

To create a parallax scrolling effect in Figma, you’ll need two images: a background image and a foreground image. The background image will be placed on a layer below the foreground image.

Next, you’ll need to add a scroll trigger to the background image. A scroll trigger is an animation that’s triggered when the user scrolls down the page. To add a scroll trigger, select the background layer and click on the “Scroll” trigger in the “Animations” panel.

PRO TIP: Parallax scrolling can be tricky to implement in Figma and may not work as intended. Be sure to test your design before using it in a live project.

Now, you’ll need to set the speed of the scroll trigger. The speed will determine how fast or slow the background image moves relative to the foreground image.

To set the speed, click on the “Speed” property in the “Settings” panel and enter a value between -100 and 100. A value of -100 will make the background image move faster than the foreground image, while a value of 100 will make the background image move slower than the foreground image.

Finally, you’ll need to preview your animation to see how it looks. To preview your animation, click on the “Preview” button in the upper-right corner of Figma.

That’s all there is to it! With just a few clicks, you can create a simple but effective parallax scrolling effect in Figma.
