## Summary

Image trail with smooth momentum

## Description

**Smooth Image Trail** is a desktop-only interaction component. Since it relies on cursor movement, it has no effect on touch devices (mobile & tablet) — consider disabling or hiding it on smaller breakpoints.

**Settings**

**Image Format** — Choose between Square (single size value) or Custom (separate width and height).

**Size Variance** — Adds a randomized size deviation per image, making each spawn feel unique and organic.

**Border Radius** — Controls the roundness of each image card.

**Border Width / Border Color** — Add an optional border to each image. Set width to 0 to disable.

**Smoothness** — The core control. 0 = no momentum, images appear and hold in place. 100 = maximum glide distance with a long, gradual deceleration tail. Default 65 is the sweet spot.

**Spawn Offset** — How far behind the cursor each image spawns before flying forward. Scales automatically with Smoothness.

**Total Duration** — Full lifetime of each image in milliseconds, including flight, hold time, and exit animation.

**Spawn Interval** — Minimum time between two spawns in milliseconds. Higher values produce fewer, more independent images.

**Min Cursor Speed** — The cursor must exceed this speed threshold to trigger a spawn. Prevents accidental spawns on slow or stationary movement.

**Max Simultaneous** — Caps the number of images visible at any one time. Keeps performance stable on longer interactions.
