How to Create an Image Swap on Scroll with Divi

Creating interactive design comes with many advantages. One of them is the fact that you can fit more visual content inside a single section and determine how the visual content shows up while visitors are scrolling. It elevates the overall user experience visitors have on your website and takes your web design efforts to the next level. In today’s tutorial, we’ll show you how to create an image swap on scroll using Divi and its new scroll effects. We’ll see a switch between four different images. You’ll be able to download the JSON file for free as well!

Let’s get to it.

1. Create Element Structure

Add New Regular Section

Start by adding a new regular section to the page you’re working on.

Add New Row

Column Structure

Continue by adding a new row to the section using the following column structure:

Sizing

Without adding any modules yet, open the row settings and modify the row’s sizing as follows:

• Width: 100%
• Max Width: 100%

Column 1 Settings

Spacing

Then, open the column 1 settings and modify the spacing values across different screen sizes.

• Top Padding: 50px (Desktop), 0px (Tablet & Phone)
• Bottom Padding: 50px (Desktop), 120% (Tablet), 140% (Phone)

Column 2 Settings

Spacing

Add some padding to the second column as well.

• Top Padding: 12vw
• Bottom Padding: 12vw
• Left Padding: 5vw
• Right Padding: 5vw

Add Image Module to Column 1

Upload Image with Transparent Background

Time to add modules, starting with a first Text Module in column 1. Upload a product image with a 1:1 ratio and a transparent background.

Background Color

Then, go to the background settings and change the background color.

• Background Color: #b3485e

Sizing

Enable the ‘Force Fullwidth’ option in the sizing settings next.

Spacing

And complete the module settings by adding some top and bottom padding.

• Top Padding: 100px
• Bottom Padding: 100px

Clone Image Module 3x

Once you’ve completed the first Image Module in column 1, you can clone the entire module three times.

Change Images

Change the image in each duplicate Image Module.

Change Background Colors

And match the new images with background colors of your choice.

• Background Color 1: #ffda60
• Background Color 2: #e6674d
• Background Color 3: #b4ff99

Add Text Module #1 to Column 2

Add H2 Content

On to the second column. There, the first module we need is a Text Module containing some H2 content.

H2 Text Settings

Move on to the module’s design tab and change the H2 text settings as follows:

• Heading 2 Font: Anton
• Heading 2 Text Color: #000000
• Heading 2 Text Size: 4vw (Desktop), 8vw (Tablet), 10vw (Phone)
• Heading 2 Line Height: 1.4em

Add Text Module #2 to Column 2

Add Content

Add another Text Module right below the previous one and enter some description content of your choice.

Text Settings

Move on to the design tab and make some changes to the text settings.

• Text Font: Open Sans
• Text Size: 0.9vw (Desktop), 2vw (Tablet), 2.5vw (Phone)
• Text Line Height: 2.6em

Add Button Module to Column 2

Add Copy

The next and last module we need in column 2 is a Button Module. Enter some copy of your choice.

Button Settings

Then, style the button accordingly:

• Use Custom Styles For Button: Yes
• Button Text Size: 20px
• Button Text Color: #ffffff
• Button Background Color: #000000
• Button Border Width: 0px
• Button Border Radius: 100px

Spacing

Add some custom padding values to the spacing settings too.

• Top Padding: 50px
• Bottom Padding: 50px
• Left Padding: 33px
• Right Padding: 33px

2. Apply Scroll Effects to Images

Image Module #1 Fading In and Out

Once you’ve completed the modules in both columns, it’s time to apply the scroll effects. The scroll effects we add are different for each one of the four Image Modules in column 1. We’ve finetuned the settings to make one image appear after the other. Open the first Image Module and use the following fading in and out scroll effect for it:

• Enable Fading In and Out: Yes
• Starting Opacity: 100%
• Mid Opacity: 100% (from 0% to 39%)
• Ending Opacity: 0% (at 40%)
• Motion Effect Trigger: Middle of Element

Image Module #2 Fading In and Out

Then, open the second image and use the fading in and out settings:

• Enable Fading In and Out: Yes
• Starting Opacity: 0% (at 40%)
• Mid Opacity: 100% (from 40% to 49%)
• Ending Opacity: 0% (at 50%)
• Motion Effect Trigger: Middle of Element

Image Module #3 Fading In and Out

Add a fading in and out scroll effect to the third Image Module too.

• Enable Fading In and Out: Yes
• Starting Opacity: 0% (at 50%)
• Mid Opacity: 100% (from 50% to 59%)
• Ending Opacity: 0% (at 60%)
• Motion Effect Trigger: Middle of Element

Image Module #4 Fading In and Out

And complete the scroll effects by adding the following fading in and out scroll effect to the last Image Module in your column:

• Enable Fading In and Out: Yes
• Starting Opacity: 0% (at 60%)
• Mid Opacity: 100% (from 60% to 100%)
• Ending Opacity: 100%

3. Add Position Settings to First Image & Expand to All Images in Column

Add Absolute Position to Image Module #1

Now, to make sure the images appear after each other while scrolling, we’ll need to place the Image Modules on top of each other using Divi’s position options. Open the first Image Module, go to the advanced tab and use an absolute position.

• Position: Absolute
• Location: Top Left

Extend Position Settings to All Images in Column

Continue by extending the position styles to each Image Module in the column and you’re done!

• To: All Images
• Throughout: This Column
