Smooth Circle Hover Interaction in Framer

This is a smooth circle hover interaction in Framer, recreated from PROPAGANDE’s work for the Inkwell website. Remix the project to explore how it’s built—all without a single line of code.

About the resource

To create this circle hover interaction, I started by building an image component with six variants. In the default variant, the image sits inside a 3D space layer. On the up variant, I shifted the image upward, and on the down variant, I returned it back to its original position. I then repeated the same three variants in the opposite direction, so when triggered, all images move outward to form the circular effect. These variants were connected through a mouse enter interaction, with the transition flowing from up to down using an appear interaction.

Once the component was ready, I constructed the circle using the arms technique, where each arm holds two images positioned on its edges. A text layer was placed in the center, and everything was wrapped inside a circle wrapper. To finish, I added a custom cursor, completing the smooth circle hover interaction.
