Create parallax with Scroll Speed in Framer
Learn how to create parallax with Scroll Speed in Framer. If you’ve ever looked out the window of a moving car and noticed that the trees on the side of the road are whizzing by faster than the mountains in the distance, then you’ve observed something called “parallax”.
Lesson details
Apply Scroll Speed to foreground and background layers at different rates to create parallax. Use small positive or negative values, keep the layers inside a Frame that controls overflow, and leave enough visual area for the shifted content.
Preview the whole scroll range at desktop and mobile widths. Reduce the distance when text becomes hard to follow, assets reveal empty edges, or the effect competes with the page’s main action.
Build the static composition first, then add movement. This keeps copy, controls, and responsive layout usable when reduced motion is enabled or the effect has not loaded yet.

What does this lesson cover?
The lesson covers the settings and steps used to create parallax with Scroll Speed in Framer. See Background. Follow the demonstrated order in your project and review each change on the canvas before moving to the next step.
Which animation settings should I test in Framer?
Test the trigger, start and end states, timing, easing, and replay behavior used in the lesson. Preview the interaction at different viewport sizes and confirm that it supports the page hierarchy. Reduce or remove motion that distracts from content or makes controls harder to use.
Can I use this animation on a responsive site in Framer?
Yes. Preview the effect at every affected breakpoint and resize between them. Check trigger positions, clipping, motion distance, and the start and end states at narrow widths. Adjust the layout or effect when the animation obscures content or moves an interactive element away from its expected position.
What should I review after I create parallax with Scroll Speed in Framer?
Review the exact pages and elements changed by the workflow. Confirm that copy, links, accessibility, responsive behavior, and interaction states still work as intended. Use preview for the final check and keep publishing separate from editing so you can fix problems before visitors see the update.
