Parallax Columns template: floating columns of images with parallax depth

How Parallax Columns moves

Parallax Columns scatters cards loosely into columns and spreads them over several depths: near cards drift past faster than far ones, which gives the frame real parallax. Sizes vary a little from card to card, so it reads like a loose moodboard rather than a strict grid. Eight slots repeat through the columns. Use it behind a headline on a landing page or as a calm portfolio intro, at 16:9.

In the studio you can tune its 10 settings along with the background, shadow and loop length, and your images never leave your device.
