Jarallax is a dependency-free JavaScript library that adds smooth parallax scrolling effects to background images, <img> tags, inline elements, and background videos from YouTube, Vimeo, or self-hosted sources. It ships ESM/UMD bundles, supports jQuery and React/Next.js usage, and includes a companion WordPress plugin.
Use cases
- add parallax scrolling to hero section background images
- create parallax video backgrounds with YouTube or Vimeo
- animate inline elements on scroll
- add parallax backgrounds to a WordPress site
- smooth scrolling background effects without jQuery dependencies
- use parallax in a React or Next.js project
When to choose
- you need lightweight, dependency-free parallax for images or videos
- you want YouTube/Vimeo/self-hosted video backgrounds with parallax
- you need ESM, UMD, jQuery, or React integration options
When to avoid
- you need complex scroll-driven animations beyond simple parallax
- you require a full animation library like GSAP with timelines and triggers
- your project targets legacy browsers unsupported by the library
