SmartParallax – Scroll-Linked Animations & Parallax Effects

SmartParallax lets you add modern scroll-linked parallax effects to your website in seconds. No coding, no setup, no heavy libraries.

You simply add a CSS class to a block, image or section — and the effect is visible immediately.

All movements are directly linked to the user’s scroll position. Nothing runs automatically. Nothing loops. The page only moves when the user scrolls.

SmartParallax is built with performance in mind. It uses a small, dependency-free JavaScript engine and GPU-accelerated transforms, keeping your site fast and responsive — even on mobile devices.

The plugin works out of the box with Gutenberg, Elementor, Bricks, Divi, Oxygen, WPBakery and most modern WordPress themes.
