A jQuery plugin that turns DOM nodes into absolutely positioned layers that move at different rates in response to mouse movement, creating an interactive parallax effect. The project is explicitly unmaintained, with the author recommending modern CSS-based parallax techniques instead.
Use cases
- add interactive parallax layers to a webpage
- make background images move with the mouse
- create parallax scrolling thumbnails
- build depth effects on a hero section
- animate layers at different speeds on mouse move
When to choose
- maintaining a legacy jQuery site that already uses jParallax
- you need mouse-driven parallax in an old browser without CSS 3D transform support
When to avoid
- starting a new project - use CSS perspective and translateZ instead
- you need GPU-optimised, smooth animations
- you want a maintained library with support
