Parallax Section Block – Add Parallax Scrolling Effects to Sections
Description
The parallax effect is a modern web design technique where the background element scrolls slower than the foreground content. The parallax effect can be used on landing pages, long-form content, sales pages, or the homepage of a business website. It is a great way to highlight different sections on a lengthy page.
You can easily create a parallax section with this plugin.
Features

- It does not require much technical knowledge to use
- It is lightweight because it relies on JavaScript

- Parallax Layers (Free) — put any blocks inside and each one moves at its own depth as you scroll, with per-layer speed, direction and fade.
- Parallax Tilt Card (Pro) — cards that tilt toward the pointer and drift on scroll, with image parallax and a glare sheen, in four styles.
- Parallax Testimonials (Pro) — a 3D coverflow, stacked, spotlight or minimal testimonial carousel with autoplay and swipe.
- Parallax CTA (Pro) — a conversion band with a magnetic button, animated aurora and converging orbs, in four styles.
- Parallax Cube (Pro) — a 3D cube or prism that turns to reveal each content face, with tabs, drag and autoplay.

2.0 Update Ruined it!
By obergagi on November 2, 2025
Was working Perfectly fine, but 2.0 update just greets you with a paywall, Breaks old parallax sections, and just works worse in genereal. Just revert it back.
