Creating parallax with Scroll Speed in Framer
In this Framer tutorial, you will learn Creating parallax with Scroll Speed in Framer. We explain a practical workflow, highlight the key settings that affect the result, and show how to apply the technique on real pages for cleaner UX and better site performance.
How do I create a parallax effect using Scroll Speed in Framer?
To create a parallax effect in Framer, select the element you want to animate, go to Effects, and add the Scroll Speed effect. Adjust the speed property: 100% is the normal scroll speed. Set elements that should appear further away to a lower percentage (e.g., 80% or 40%) so they scroll slower, and elements that should appear closer to a higher percentage (e.g., 120% or 140%) so they scroll faster. Preview your project to see the depth effect as you scroll.
What is the principle behind using different scroll speeds for parallax in Framer?
The principle is based on how objects at different distances appear to move at different speeds as you move past them, closer objects move faster, and distant objects move slower. By assigning different scroll speeds to layers in Framer, you mimic this natural phenomenon, creating a sense of three-dimensional depth on your page.
What settings should I use for foreground and background elements to achieve a convincing parallax effect?
For a convincing parallax effect, set background elements to scroll slower than the foreground by lowering their speed percentage (e.g., 40% or 80%). Foreground elements should scroll faster, so increase their speed percentage (e.g., 120% or 140%). This creates a clear foreground, middleground, and background relationship, adding depth and visual interest to your design.
