In this article, we’ll be discussing how you can create a parallax scroll in Figma. Parallax scrolling is a technique in computer graphics where background images move past the camera more slowly than foreground images, creating an illusion of depth in a 2D scene and adding to the immersion.
There are many ways to achieve this effect, but we’ll be focusing on one particular method using Figma’s scroll component.
To get started, create a new frame and add your desired background image. Then, add a scroll component on top of the frame. You can do this by selecting the component from the left sidebar or by pressing CMD/CTRL + K.
Now that you have your scroll component added, it’s time to add your foreground layer. This could be an image, shape, or text layer. For our example, we’ll be using an image.
Once you have your foreground layer added, select it and then click on the link icon in the top toolbar. This will open up the link options dialog.
Here, you’ll want to select the “Scroll To” option and then choose your scroll component from the drop-down menu. Doing this will cause your foreground layer to scroll with the component.
Now all that’s left to do is adjust the speed at which your foreground layer scrolls in relation to the background by setting the “Speed” property in the link options dialog. A value of 1 will cause the foreground layer to scroll at the same speed as the background, while a value of 2 will cause it to scroll twice as fast. Negative values will cause it to scroll in the opposite direction.
And that’s all there is to it! With just a few simple steps, you can easily add parallax scrolling to any design in Figma.
