Is it possible to create a looping grid of images inside a DIV using Webflow's native animation functions?
TL;DR
- Create a
DIVcontainer (Image Grid Wrapper) withOverflow: Hidden, add a childDIV(Grid Container), and use CSS Grid or Flexbox to arrange images. - Duplicate images inside
Grid Containerfor seamless looping. - Use Webflow Interactions to create a Move animation that smoothly translates the
Grid Container. - Set Linear easing and enable Looping to ensure a continuous scroll effect.
Yes, you can create a looping grid of images inside a DIV using Webflow’s native animation functions by leveraging its Interactions & Animations panel. Here's how to do it:
1. Set Up the Grid
- Add a
DIVblock and name itImage Grid Wrapper. - Set
Overflow: Hiddento ensure the animation stays within the container. - Add a child
DIVinside (Grid Container) and apply CSS Grid (or Flexbox) to arrange the images. - Insert images inside
Grid Containerand ensure they align properly.
2. Duplicate for Seamless Looping
- Duplicate your images in
Grid Containerto create a seamless effect when looping. - If using Flexbox, ensure images are placed horizontally and wrap correctly.
3. Create a Move Animation
- Go to Interactions > Page Load (or While Page is Scrolling).
- Add a “Move” animation and set it to translate the
Grid Containernegatively in the X or Y direction (based on scroll). - Adjust the duration (e.g.,
6s) and apply Easing: Linear for smooth movement.
4. Enable Continuous Looping
- In the animation settings, activate "Loop" by setting the action to restart after completion.
- Ensure the duplicated content perfectly matches the original grid’s width, so the animation resets seamlessly.
Summary
You can create a looping grid of images using Webflow’s native interactions by setting up a horizontally scrolling container with duplicated elements. Use linear easing and enable looping for a seamless effect.
