How Do You Make a Parallax Effect in Figma?

In this tutorial, we'll learn how to create a parallax effect 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.We'll be using a frame with a background image and a few layers on top. By changing the Y position of these layers at different rates, we can create the illusion of depth and make our frame look like it's 3D.Let's get started!1. First, open up Figma and create a new file. Then, add a frame to your canvas by clicking on the "Frames" tab in the left sidebar and selecting "Default Frame" from the drop-down menu.2. Next, add a background image to your frame by clicking on the "Images" tab in the left sidebar and selecting "Add Image."Choose an image that you would like to use for your parallax effect. In this example, we'll be using a photo of a cityscape.3. Now that you have your background image in place, it's time to add some layers on top.Create a new layer by clicking on the "+" icon in the left sidebar. Then, add some text or an object to this layer. We'll be adding a simple shape for our example.4. With your first layer created, duplicate it by pressing "Cmd + D" (Mac) or "Ctrl + D" (Windows).Move this duplicate layer slightly to the right and change its color so that it's different from the first layer. Repeat this process until you have several layers on top of your background image.5. Now that you have your layers in place, it's time to animate them!Select the first layer that you want to animate and press "A" on your keyboard or click on the "Animation" tab in the top toolbar. This will open up the Animation panel where you can add keyframes for your layer.6. In the Animation panel, select "Position" from the drop-down menu and then click on the stopwatch icon next to it to turn on keyframing for this property. This will create a keyframe at the current frame for this property. 7.Move ahead one frame by pressing "Cmd + Right Arrow" (Mac) or "Ctrl + Right Arrow" (Windows) on your keyboard or clicking on the forward arrow icon in the top toolbar. Then, change the Y position of your layer so that it is moved slightly up or down. This will create another keyframe at this new frame with this new Y position value. 8
