Yes, it is possible to achieve a horizontal scroll animation that scales images in Webflow. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Start by creating a new section on your Webflow page.
  2. Within the new section, add a horizontal div block and give it a class name (e.g., "scroll-container").
  3. Set the width of the div block to be wider than the viewport so that it enables horizontal scrolling. You can adjust the width based on your design needs.
  4. Inside the div block, add another div block for each image you want to include in the scroll animation. Give each div block a class name (e.g., "scroll-item").
  5. Customize the content of each scroll item div block by adding your images, text, or other elements.
  6. Apply a scaling effect to each image within the scroll item div blocks. To do this:
    a. Select an image element in one of the scroll item div blocks.
    b. Go to the Effects panel in the Webflow Designer.
    c. Set the initial scale to the desired size (e.g., 100% if you want it to start at its original size).
    d. Add a "While scrolling in view" interaction trigger.
    e. Adjust the scaling value as per your preference. For example, you can set it to 150% to make the image scale up while scrolling horizontally.
    f. Repeat this process for other images in the scroll item div blocks.
  7. Preview and test the horizontal scroll animation in the Webflow Preview mode or by publishing the site.

By following these steps, you can achieve a horizontal scroll animation that scales images in Webflow. This can create an engaging and dynamic visual experience for your website visitors.
