Can Figma do Parallax?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 7:08 pm

Figma is a powerful tool that can do a lot of things, but can it do parallax? In this article, we will explore the possibility and see if it can be done.

If you are unfamiliar with parallax, it is the technique of moving an object in the 3D space so that it appears to move at a different speed when viewed from different angles. It can create a sense of depth and realism.

Figma can certainly do this. In fact, it has some built-in features that make it easy to do.

PRO TIP: Figma does not currently support parallax. If you try to use parallax in Figma, your design may not look as intended.

You can use the Transform tool to move the object around and change its position. You can also use the Offset tool to move it away from the background.

However, there are a few limitations to consider. First, you need to be careful with the placement of the object. You don’t want it to interfere with other objects in the scene.

Second, you need to be careful with the scene’s lighting. If the light is behind the object, it will appear to move faster than if the light is in front of the object.

Overall, Figma is a powerful tool that can create realistic parallax effects. However, it is not perfect and you will need to be careful with placement and lighting.
