What Is Jet Parallax?
Jet Parallax is developed by JET Plugins and is a design extension for WordPress sites using Elementor. It belongs to the design category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for professional web creators.
The plugin solves the limitation of static backgrounds by allowing multiple layers to move at different speeds. It is designed for creative agencies and web designers who want to enhance the visual storytelling of landing pages and homepages.
Jet Parallax Features
The feature set is built around giving users granular control over how background elements behave in relation to mouse movement and page scrolling.
Layered Depth Control
JetParallax supports limitless parallax layers within a single section. Users can assign separate settings to each item, including specific images, positioning, and animation properties. By staggering these layers, you can create a fully-fledged 3D depth effect within any standard Elementor section using the advanced design tools available.
Behavior Triggers
The plugin provides two primary behavior triggers: Mouse Move and Scroll. The Mouse Move trigger makes background layers follow or resist the cursor path, while the Scroll trigger activates movement as the user navigates down the page. Each layer can be assigned a different trigger to create complex, reactive backgrounds.
Animation Customization
Users can change the speed of parallax animations to make objects move faster or slower when triggered. This flexibility allows for subtle atmospheric movements or high-energy transitions depending on the site requirements. You can also define the animation type and exact positioning for each individual layer independently.
