Creating an infinite CSS background image loop

Infinite scrolling images, a popular feature on websites and applications, can be achieved through two primary CSS methods: horizontal infinite scrolling using animations and parallax scrolling. The horizontal method involves creating a seamless loop of an image by using a container larger than the image itself and applying CSS animations to move the image across the container, creating the illusion of infinite scrolling. This requires an image with similar left and right sides to maintain continuity. The parallax method, on the other hand, uses a background image that moves within a container as the user scrolls, creating a depth effect that appears infinite. This requires setting up the image to not repeat and fixing its position relative to the viewport. Both methods rely on specific CSS properties to achieve their effects and the choice between them depends on the desired visual outcome. Resources like Unsplash are recommended for high-quality images, and tools like LogRocket can aid in debugging and optimizing the performance of these effects on web applications.
