New in Divi 5 Alpha: Parallax Image Module

Our development efforts are fully centered on optimizing for Divi 5’s reengineered architecture. With Elegant Themes actively refining the Alpha release, we’re working in parallel to modernize our entire module library—ensuring performance, flexibility, and design freedom are at the core of everything we ship.

The latest result of this work is the new Parallax Image module, a sleek, interactive tool that introduces a fluid parallax motion effect to your images and text. Building on the momentum of our recent Tile Scroll module, this new addition demonstrates just how engaging and immersive Divi 5 designs can be.

Working Within the Divi 5 Alpha Ecosystem

Divi 5 is still under active development, and like all alpha software, it’s meant for testing, not production. As such, our new modules built for Divi 5—including Parallax Image—should be used with caution and only in controlled environments.

Best Practices for Testing:
• Use on staging or development sites only
• Avoid deploying on live, production websites
• Expect frequent updates and refinements as Divi 5 evolves

This approach allows early adopters to explore cutting-edge features without compromising stability.

Parallax Image Module Now Available for Divi 5 Alpha

The Parallax Image module has long been a popular feature in the Divi Pixel toolkit, offering an engaging way to add motion and depth to web designs in Divi 4. Now, we’re excited to announce that this module has been fully rebuilt and optimized to support the Divi 5 Alpha framework.

Unlike standard scroll-based parallax effects, which shift elements at different speeds as users scroll down the page, this module introduces mouse-based parallax animation. As visitors move their cursor, layered images and optional text blocks respond in real time—creating a dynamic, immersive experience.

This type of interaction is perfect for creative websites, portfolios, product showcases, and landing pages where visual impact matters. While it may be too bold for some corporate layouts, it’s an ideal choice for projects that aim to captivate and stand out.

Highlights of the Divi Pixel Parallax Image Module:

1. Fully rebuilt for Divi 5 Alpha compatibility
2. Mouse-based parallax motion for a dynamic user experience
3. Support for layered layouts combining images and text
4. Adjustable animation depth for custom visual effects
5. 100% responsive and optimized for modern devices

How to Enable Divi 5 Module Compatibility

To start using the new Parallax Image module—or any Divi Pixel modules built for Divi 5—you’ll need to ensure your setup is correctly configured.

Getting Started:

1. Install the Divi 5 Alpha version in a staging environment
2. Update to Divi Pixel v2.41.0
3. In WordPress dashboard, go to: Divi → Divi Pixel → Modules

This dual compatibility ensures you can explore the latest features while keeping your Divi 4 projects stable and unaffected.
