Drag Parallax Slider is a premium horizontal slider designed for Framer creators who want smooth, immersive motion without breaking page scroll behavior.
Unlike scroll-hijacking or sticky sliders that feel unpredictable inside real websites, this component is intentionally drag-first. Users explore content through direct manipulation dragging or swiping which creates a clear sense of control, reduces motion confusion, and keeps vertical scrolling natural.
This design choice is deliberate and user-centric.
Vertical scroll is a global navigation action. When sliders hijack it, users lose orientation and trust. Drag interaction, on the other hand, is explicit and local users know exactly what they are controlling.
By relying on drag and swipe instead of scroll takeover, this slider:
Feels predictable and intuitive
Works reliably inside stacked layouts and sections
Avoids accidental horizontal motion while browsing a page
Preserves natural page scrolling at all times
The result is a smoother, calmer experience that feels premium rather than gimmicky.
Smooth mouse drag and touch swipe interaction
Velocity-based motion with natural deceleration
Subtle parallax image movement for visual depth
Clean hover overlays for titles or cues
Smart click handling to prevent accidental clicks while dragging
Fully responsive across desktop and mobile
High performance with requestAnimationFrame updates
Easy content management via slide data
Safe to use anywhere in a vertical scrolling page
This component is designed to behave correctly inside real Framer layouts not just isolated demos. It does not hijack scroll, does not rely on sticky positioning, and does not introduce layout side effects.
You can confidently use it in:
Portfolio galleries
Agency and studio websites
Product or case study showcases
Editorial and storytelling sections
Visual hero blocks where control and clarity matter
Easily control slide size, spacing, motion speed, parallax intensity, image scale, and visual styling through Framer’s property panel without exposing fragile technical settings.
All motion parameters are tuned internally for stability, so users get a polished experience by default.
Drag Parallax Slider focuses on clarity, control, and motion quality. It trades fragile scroll tricks for intentional interaction, resulting in a component that feels professional, trustworthy, and ready for real production use.
