The “layout jump” problem
We've all been there—you're adding some slick animations to your Framer site, maybe an FAQ section with expanding answers or a dynamic product showcase. But then, as elements grow or shrink, the entire page jumps around like it's got a mind of its own. Not exactly the smooth, polished experience you were aiming for, right?
This frustrating issue is known as layout jump, and it happens when elements suddenly change size, causing everything else on the page to shift without any transition. The result? A jarring experience that disrupts the flow of your site.
The solution
Luckily, I’ve got your back. Enter the Layout Jump Preventer component. Whether you’re animating an expanding FAQ section or a resizing product preview, this component keeps your layout feeling fluid and natural.
How to use it
1. Add the layout jump preventer component
First, grab the Layout Jump Preventer component and put it at the top level inside your component where size changes are happening. If you have an FAQ with expanding answers, place the component right on top of your accordion components in the main variant.
2. Choose your animation direction
By default, the component prevents jumps vertically (height changes). But you can also:
Set it to horizontal for width changes
Or you could enable both to handle height and width changes
