Scroll Parallax Stack

How it works

Scroll Parallax Stack is an animated 3d & depth text effect rendered entirely in CSS. A data-text attribute mirrors the word into ::before/::after layers, so copy that attribute together with the CSS. It is driven by a scroll-linked animation timeline.

Controls

Scroll Parallax Stack exposes 3 dedicated controls — Depth Spread, Layer Hue and Direction — on top of the shared type controls (font, weight, letter-spacing and case). Open it in the generator to tune every value live, then copy the updated CSS.

 * HTML: the element needs a data-text attribute equal to its text; uses scroll-driven animation.
 * Font: 'Recursive', sans-serif (load from Google Fonts).

HTML

This effect needs the markup below (per-letter spans, SVG defs, or a data-text attribute).
