The Parallax component creates a full-width multi-layered image component where the background image will move slightly as you scroll.

Note: there are several options mentioned above that are not available with the current version of the Parallax block.

Examples

This is an Aesop Parallax block with Background Movement Type set to On, giving a subtle sliding effect when the page is scrolled.

Caption option is also set.

Dolor morbi non arcu risus quis. Fringilla urna porttitor rhoncus dolor purus non enim praesent elementum. Enim diam vulputate ut pharetra. Integer feugiat scelerisque varius morbi enim nunc faucibus. Feugiat scelerisque varius morbi enim nunc faucibus a. In nisl nisi scelerisque eu ultrices vitae auctor eu.

Aesop Parallax block with Background Movement Type set to Off. This is a basic full-width image without parallax effect.

Best to use an Aesop Image block instead, if you don’t want parallax, but included here for the sake of completeness.

Senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac. Arcu odio ut sem nulla pharetra diam. Non diam phasellus vestibulum lorem sed risus ultricies tristique.

Volutpat sed cras ornare arcu dui vivamus arcu. Sed ullamcorper morbi tincidunt ornare massa eget egestas. Lacus vel facilisis volutpat est velit.

Aesop Parallax block with Background Movement Type set to Fixed, giving a more extreme effect where the image remains in a fix position as the page scrolls.

Aliquam sem et tortor consequat id porta nibh. Non diam phasellus vestibulum lorem sed risus ultricies tristique. Id neque aliquam vestibulum morbi blandit cursus risus at.

Consectetur adipiscing elit pellentesque habitant morbi.

Aesop Parallax block with Height Set (100px). As above, but with Image Height option set to 100px.

There are a couple of other options:

• Image Lightbox doesn’t seem to work, unfortunately
• Enable Floater Element allows you add text on top of the image. It doesn’t look great in Novella, only shows the text if Image Height is set, and it’s fiddly to enter text in a single-line box. I wouldn’t bother with this
