Layered images

Create a stunning Layered images section for a dynamic scrolling effect

This section is available on ✨ Zest version 9.0.0 onwards. See our Changelog

Enhance your website with the Layered Images section, a visually engaging feature that creates a smooth, overlapping transition as users scroll. This effect adds movement, depth, and storytelling power to your brand’s imagery, making your website feel more immersive and high-end.

In this article, we will show you how to add a Layered images section.

How it works

Instead of images staying fixed in their place, this section allows them to collapse into each other, creating a seamless transition. As the user scrolls, one image subtly layers over the previous one, maintaining a smooth and immersive browsing experience. This effect is perfect for:

  • Telling a brand story through images

  • Showcasing multiple product shots in an elegant way

  • Creating a visually engaging landing page
