How to Animate Your Framer Site
In this blog, I'll show you 6 super simple ways to animate your Framer websites. The best part is that none of them need any coding. We're literally just clicking buttons and adding sick animations to our websites. After this walk through, you'll be confident in adding new animations to your websites to take them to the next level.

Appear effect
Think of this as the grand entrance for your website elements. When the page loads, instead of elements just sitting there, they can glide, fade, or bounce in. Here’s how you do it:
Select the element you want to animate.
In the right panel, look for the appear section under effects.
Choose from options like fade, slide, or scale. Adjust the duration (how long it takes) and the delay (when it starts).

Pro tip: Combine a slight offset with a smooth slide-in from the bottom. It gives your site a polished, professional vibe without overwhelming users. Play with delays to stagger animations and create a natural flow!

Text animation
Static text? Nah, we can do better. With text animations, you can bring your words to life! Whether you want each letter to fade in one by one or entire lines to slide into view, here’s how you can set it up:
Select your text block.
In the Effects panel, enable Text Animation.
Choose the type—like blur, flip, shake and shoot.
Adjust the duration and delay to match the pace you want.

Why it’s awesome: Text animations keep your audience engaged and add a layer of sophistication. Use them sparingly, though—too much movement can be distracting!

Scroll animation
Scrolling shouldn’t be boring. With Framer’s scroll animations, elements start moving as they enter the viewport.
Here’s how to set it up:
Select the element you want to animate.
Go to effects > scroll animation.
Choose what happens when the element enters the viewport.
Fine-tune the start point (where the animation begins) and the duration.

Tip: Use scroll animations on key sections, like headers or call-to-action areas, to draw attention and keep your users engaged as they explore your site.

Scroll transform
Alright this might be one of my favorite ways to animate a site. With scroll transform, elements change based on how far you’ve scrolled. This is how you do it:
Select the element and go to effects > scroll transform.
Define the start and end states. For example, you can have an image zoom in or text rotate as you scroll down.

Cool example: Create a parallax effect by making the background move slower than the foreground. It adds depth and makes your site feel dynamic and immersive!

Variant interactions
You know those sleek buttons that change when you hover or click them? That’s thanks to variants. Perfect for making interactive elements without writing a single line of code. Here’s how you set it up:
Create a new component (like a button).
You’ll see different states like default, hover, or clicked.
Design each state (change color, add shadows, etc.).
Set triggers—like hover or tap—to transition between states.
Variants also help with breakpoint optimization if needed. Plus, users love that little bit of interactivity.

Scroll variants
Hover effects are awesome, but they don’t work on mobile, right? That’s where scroll variants come in. You can trigger different states as users scroll, creating an engaging experience for everyone.
Create a component with variants.
In the Scroll settings, link the scroll position to the variants.
Define at which scroll points each variant appears.
Mobile-friendly tip: Use scroll variants to highlight key sections or change the layout subtly. It ensures your design is just as impressive on mobile as it is on desktop.
