Updates

What’s new.

March 12, 2024

We’re excited to introduce App History, a new way to navigate in Framer. Using new shortcuts and the native browser controls, you can now go back and forth between different views, like Web Pages, Components, the CMS, and the Preview. We think you’ll love it. In this process, we’ve updated the shortcuts used for changing layer hierarchy. Find all shortcuts below.

MacOS
  • Command + [ to go back in history.

  • Command + ] to go forward in history.

  • Command + Option + ↑ to move layer up in hierarchy.

  • Command + Option + ↓ to move layer down in hierarchy.

Windows
  • Control + [ to go back in history.

  • Control + ] to go forward in history.

  • Control + Alt + ↑ to move layer up in hierarchy.

  • Control + Alt + ↓ to move layer down in hierarchy.

February 29, 2024

The February Update introduces the ability to see which properties across Breakpoints and Component Variants you have overridden, helping you better understand how inheritance works and ultimately making it easier to design layouts and components in Framer. When selecting a Layer in a Breakpoint or Variant, you will notice a few properties get highlighted. These have values that do not match with the Primary, and thus do not inherit changes. You can reset the override by clicking on the label and hitting “Reset Override”. More below.

February 20, 2024

This release introduces a few CMS features requested by larger teams, unlocking new possibilities. First of these is the ability to match Any filters, in addition to All, making it possible to include collection items that satisfy one or more conditions. We also added the ability to add image focal points in the CMS, as well as the ability to set field descriptions, duplicate collection fields and multi-select CMS items to delete them.

February 13, 2024

This Localization update brings many features and improvements to help you take your localized website to the next level. While remaining simple on the surface, these features add powerful Localization flexibility, empowering you to meet the needs of a global audience. Hiding CMS Items and Web Pages per Locale lets you provide the most relevant content for each site visitor, while Localized Slugs & Redirects give you full control over your site URLs. In addition, the new Set Locale action in Components enables you to build fully custom Locale pickers to match the specific needs of your site. See the full changelog below.

February 8, 2024

We’re excited to introduce Custom Cursors. Design interactive cursors using components, with infinite ways to customize. Tap into the power of Variants, Effects, and Transitions to design interactions with an incredible fidelity. Get started by adding a custom cursor to your Page, then switch its Variants on any layer. Choose between “Replace” to swap the default cursor with a Component, or “Follow” to add to it. It’s a simple feature at first glance, but as you delve deeper you’ll find it’s remarkably versatile. Watch the video above to learn more, and explore by playing with the demo here. We can’t wait to see what you’ll come up with.

February 1, 2024

This update introduces a redesigned Page Panel that merges all page types under a single view. CMS pages are now neatly nested under their respective index pages, and part of the same hierarchy. This makes them easier to find, edit, and rename. Plus, if your site has 100s of pages, you now no longer have to scroll down to create new CMS pages—you can always add new pages via the menu at the top of the panel. For all new projects, Canvas pages are now hidden by default. If needed, these can be re-enabled in Preferences. We’re excited to further simplify our Page Panel after we introduced Folders in December, and believe it will make larger sites even easier to manage. Let us know what you think in the Community.

January 30, 2024

The January Update brings improvements to the Rows and Columns Stack presets, adds a Video tool to the Layout Menu, improves the Gap and Padding controls, and more. You can now hit ⇧V to quickly add new Videos to your pages, with full control over the dimensions. The Stack tool got a little smarter too, and now automatically groups when dragged over existing layers. Plus, customizing spacing within Stacks has never been easier with our improved Gap and Padding controls. For everything else, see the full changelog below.

January 23, 2024

This release introduces a new Creative Section to the Insert Panel, with fun components and presets that you can use to bring your sites to life. You might recognize a few of these from framer.supply—we have redesigned and reimplemented these, and you’ll now find the latest and greatest versions directly in Framer. It has never been easier to design bold headers with responsive typography using Fit Text, or to design infinitely-looping badges with the new Arc Component. We’ve also added a couple of handy Pattern presets, like Wave, Grid, and Noise, for easy access. Inserting these gives you a Frame with the pattern pre-applied, ready for you to customize. We hope you’ll enjoy these new elements and we’ll add more over time.

  • Fit Text for bold responsive headers.

  • Arc for badges and circular type.

  • Scribbles for playful doodles.

  • Countdown for teaser pages.

  • Time and Date for events.

This release adds a Tile option to Image Fills, allowing you to create seamless background patterns for your sites. We’ve also included 8 new scalable preset patterns: Noise, Checker, Grid, Lines, Rhombus, Wave, Polka, and Diagonal. Resize your patterns with the new Scale property, which is set to your image size by default.

Let us know what you think in the Community, we’d love to hear your thoughts!

December 19, 2023

The December Update introduces a completely redesigned Page Panel, adding support for nesting and folders. This makes it much easier to manage larger websites with over 100s of Pages, and it even allows you to do batch actions like updating the path of multiple pages at once, just by renaming a Folder. Click on the plus icon to create new Pages or new Folders, or simply drag Pages on top of one another to nest them. We have more Page updates coming in 2024, but we believe you’ll enjoy this first round of updates.

December 7, 2023

This release adds support for Stack Variables within Components and CMS. This means you can now turn properties like Gap, Padding, Direction, Distribute, and Align into customizable controls, allowing you to design much more flexible Components. For things like Navigations, this means you have to rely less on Variants for responsiveness across Breakpoints, and can instead use Variables, allowing you to keep Variants for interactivity. An example of this can be seen in the video above. The addition of these Variables also enables you control layout via CMS Items, unlocking exciting new use cases. Variable support for the Wrap property is coming soon too. Please let us know which ones you’d like to see next in the Community.

We’re excited to introduce Page Effects, allowing you to animate between pages. Built on top of the View Transitions API, Framer is the first tool in which you can explore these cutting-edge features visually. You can animate all pages of your site with a single click, or target specific pages to animate between. Plus, you can add custom masking effects like Wipe, Inset, and Blinds, making your sites stand out. Currently Page Effects work in Chrome, Edge, and Arc. On browsers like Safari and Firefox, these will simply default back to instant, so it’s a great way to progressively enhance your site. Watch the video above to learn more.

November 16, 2023

This release brings Effects to Components. We support everything from Appear, Hover, Press, Drag, and Loop to Scroll Animations, Scroll Transforms, and Scroll Speed. This unlocks tons of new interactions, and it makes Effects reusable. For example, you can now animate your navigation bar on scroll by adding a single Scroll Animation to it. Create components with incredible fidelity. This has been one of our most requested features, and we’re excited to see what you’ll create. Watch the video above to learn more, and see our full changelog below. Enjoy!

Instant Preview
Instant Preview
Instant Preview

Introducing our completely re-engineered Preview, optimized for performance. Even in large sites with 300+ CMS items, your pages should now load instantly. No more staring at loading spinners. Our previous Preview would have to load your entire project before it could start rendering your page, and then applied updates with your edits. The new Preview exclusively uses the same generated code as your published site, so it’s not only faster, but also more accurate. Plus, we’ve also tackled animation issues causing all transitions to stop working. We think you’ll love it, and would love to hear your thoughts in the Community.

November 7, 2023

In this Relative Overlays Update, we’re adding Collision Detection. Design menus without worrying about them getting cut-off or clipped.

Color Style Search
Color Style Search
Color Style Search

The September Update is our biggest monthly update yet. It includes more than 20 workflow improvements and bug fixes. We’ve made managing your Text and Color Styles a lot easier: on open, your selected style will always be in view, and you can now search your Styles directly from the pop-out. This greatly improves managing projects with 100+ styles, and there are more Style updates planned. We’ve also fixed a common issue where Framer applying height: 100% to the site body would break interactions on mobile devices. This might affect certain pages with small fixed heights like <800 which would previously automatically fill the viewport. The fix here is simple: set the height to 100vh instead. If you’re running into any issues, let us know in the Community, we’re happy to help.

  • Added the ability search your Color and Text Styles inline

  • Added auto-scrolling behavior to your currently selected Style

Canvas Performance
Canvas Performance
Canvas Performance

This release introduces a completely new renderer for the Canvas in Framer that greatly improves the editing experience, especially in large projects. This includes resizing layers, changing content, changing layouts, and much more. In our tests, we’ve seen improvements starting from 2X when editing, and much more in huge pages. For example, resizing a layer within an auto-sizing Stack could previously take 300ms or more per frame, and this release brings that down to 90ms per frame. Enjoy an even faster editing experience, in projects large and small.

September 12, 2023

This week’s CMS update brings improvements to the content editing workflow. With the new bold and italic options in Text Styles, you can emphasize your text with granular control of the fonts.

Today we’re excited to introduce a new Chrome extension: HTML to Framer. Effortlessly copy and paste web elements from any of your own sites, whether they are made with HTML & CSS or any other no-code website builder, and edit them directly in Framer. When you paste a section with multiple items, empty divs will be discarded leaving an ultra clean layer hierarchy, making it easy to further edit the page, add breakpoints, and publish your website right away. Learn more about the extension and read the FAQs on this page.

  • Install the extension, go to your site and hover on an item to copy.

  • Hold Shift to copy multiple elements, for even greater speed.

  • To select a parent element of an item, hit Esc while hovering it.

  • In Framer, use V to paste on Mac, or Ctrl V on Windows.

August 29, 2023

In this release, we’re introducing a small but mighty workflow improvement for projects with 100s of pages—the Page Switcher. A small dropdown now sits on top of the Layer Panel, letting you know which Page you are currently viewing without having to switch back to the Pages Panel. It also allows you to browse and search all Pages within your project. On focus, you can type the name of any Page to quickly switch back and forth. If you’re managing a large project, we believe you’ll love it. Watch the overview video above to learn more.

CMS Refresh 2023

We’ve refreshed the CMS interface to improve managing larger collections with multiple editors. First, we now clearly label the CMS, giving your content editors context when landing here. Next, we’ve aligned the toolbar actions to the table view, making new item creation more obvious. We’ve also brought Settings in, so you can jump straight from the CMS to your Site Settings without having to go back to the Canvas first. Last but not least, we brought Search inline, so you can quickly find any item within your collection list, even while editing. We hope you’ll enjoy these updates, and would love to hear what you think in the Community.

This release introduces three new features designed to improve navigations in Framer. First, we’ve added viewport unit support to the Height property of any layer within a Variant. This helps you design new interactions, such as backdrops that should fade in-and-out. Second, we’re upgrading the Transition property, which now can be added to any layer within your Variants. This gives you precise control over your animations, allowing you to target specific layers to animate, and exclude others. Third, we’re adding support for Transitions to Link Styles, so all of your links can now be animated on Hover. Combined, these features unlock new types of mobile navigations—beyond ones that animate to fill the viewport height. Watch the video above to learn more, or remix our demo here.

  • You can now use Viewport units for Height in Component Variants

  • You can now assign the Transition property to any layer within a Variant

  • Link Style states, like Hover, can now be animated with an Easing Transition

This release brings new properties that unlock new types of navigation patterns in Framer. First, we’re adding separate Overflow X and Overflow Y properties, giving you much more control. Second, we’re adding the Scrollbars property, enabling you to show or hide scrollbars of specific layers. Combined, these new styles allow you to design completely responsive navigations without variants. Watch the video above to learn more, or remix our demo here to get started.

Layer Panel Sorting
Layer Panel Sorting
Layer Panel Sorting

This quality update improves the sorting of both your Breakpoints and Variants in the Layer Panel. Breakpoints are now sorted from Desktop → Tablet → Phone, and Variants are now sorted by Primary, meaning from Variant 1 → 3. All changes are inherited from the Primary Breakpoint or Variant, so this makes it easier to work with both Pages and Components.

Domain Connect
Domain Connect
Domain Connect

With this update, we can now automatically configure your custom domains to work with Framer. We currently support domains managed by Google Domains, GoDaddy, and IONOS, but we’ll be adding more providers in the coming weeks. When setting up a custom domain from a supported provider, you’ll now see an Auto Connect button. Click it, and we’ll direct you to your provider where you can review the changes we want to make on your behalf, and apply them with a single click. How does it work? When you want to use a custom domain for your Framer site, you need to point it at the Framer servers by modifying the DNS records. So far, this has been a manual process: Framer tells you what to change, and you log into your provider’s control panel and make the changes. But thanks to an open standard called Domain Connect, we can now automate this process.

March 16, 2023

We’re excited to introduce Light and Dark Mode for your websites, with all new Color Styles. Add a Color Style, define a Light and Dark Theme, then use the Styles throughout your project.

DotLottie
DotLottie
DotLottie

We’ve collaborated with the LottieFiles team to create a new Framer plugin for DotLottie. Find this new component in the Insert Panel, under the Media section. You can use it to design and add amazing animations with incredibly small file sizes, often just a few kilobytes. DotLottie is an open-source file format that aggregates one or more Lottie files and their associated resources into a single file. They’re ZIPs compressed with the Deflate compression method and carry the file extension of .lottie. The previous Lottie component supports older Lottie files with the .json extension. Both work great, but DotLottie files are smaller and thus faster to load. You can find animations to download here or remix our demo.

This release introduces the Image Tool. You’ll find it in the toolbar under Layout, just below the Frame Tool, which was moved here too. After selecting Image or hitting ⇧I, you’ll be able to draw image layouts that can be edited immediately after via the Fill popover, or intentionally left blank, for instance when creating wireframes or templates. Additionally, the Insert Panel was reorganized to include a new Media category, where you’ll find Image, GIF, Video and Audio elements.

2x Publishing

This release brings two improvements that can make your site up to 2x as fast.

  • When you publish your site, we pre-render a static HTML version on the server, so it loads faster and Google can analyze it for SEO (using React and SSR). We have optimized this process to use multiple CPUs on our server at the same time. Now, even sites with hundreds of pages can finish in seconds.

  • We serve your site from a global cache location close to your visitors to make sure your site loads fast. In addition, we use an advanced HTML and text compression algorithm called Brotli. Compressed content is now cached, so we can send it directly to your visitors instead of compressing each request individually. In our tests this often improves loading speed by up to 2x, which will have a very positive impact on your Lighthouse scores like LCP. This will be especially noticeable on larger sites, so you can scale your site without worry.

February 1, 2023

This update allows you to restore fully responsive layouts from the past. When using Version History to copy a section, Framer now automatically imports its breakpoints too — and if the existing ones are different, they will be automatically updated. The update also makes loading versions in the panel faster, as well as optimizing the viewing experience of older versions. Watch the video overview to see the Version History and the new copy paste behaviour in action, or read more about how it works.

This release introduces our completely rewritten Appear Effects. Leveraging the magic of Framer Motion and the performance of the Web Animations API, we now ensure Appear Effects run sooner when loading your website. This makes a big difference on both user experience and SEO. Visitors on slower connections will now enjoy animation start time improve from 6s0.5s. And for SEO metrics that measure perceived load speeds, like LCP from Google’s PageSpeed Insights, we’ve seen jumps from 5085 on our templates on mobile. If you’re already using Appear Effects on your website, simply editing and republishing will give you these improvements. Design incredible high-fidelity animations with cutting edge performance across multiple browsers. Only in Framer. Available now.

With this release, you can now view a list of all of the changes in your project since the last deploy, making it easier to decide whether the site is ready to be updated or not. Simply click on the Publish button and you will see a list of all of the updated pages, components, and CMS items below your domains. You will be able to see who has made the changes, and click on each item to view the corresponding element.

With this release, we’ve greatly improved the optimization and loading times of your websites. Sites now build and load faster because the CSS is minified with esbuild instead of csso. esbuild is much faster and better at de-duplicating certain advanced CSS rules, which means you will experience significantly lighter CSS files for complex pages. For our own site, we saw a 60% improvement in CSS size and a 4x speed up for optimization times. To get the same advantages, re-publish your site.

You can now select a custom CSS cursor for any element of your site. To do so, select a layer and click the ➕ menu in the Styles panel, then choose Cursor and pick one of your liking.

This CMS update introduces Conditionals and Transforms, unlocking a new level of control and flexibility. This allows you to do much more with your content, like only displaying banners or videos on specific posts, adding prefixes and suffixes to your text variables, formatting dates, and more.
