Framer updates
Articles on Framer releases and platform changes. Community tutorials and kits live in Resources.
Framer CMS Quick Add Row — Faster Item Creation in the Table
CMS 3.1 keeps you in the spreadsheet: a persistent empty row at the bottom of every collection, Return-to-add flow, Agent awareness in the table, and a long list of rich-text and Agent polish.
Framer Fable 5 for Agents — Proactive Design AI for Shaders and Full Sites
Fable 5 lands in Framer Agents as the most proactive model Framer has tested — polished first drafts, smarter style systems, and noticeably better creative work on shaders and motion.
Framer Sonnet 5 for Agents — Stronger Design AI, Lower Credit Cost
Sonnet 5 lands in Framer Agents with better layout instincts, smarter font picks, and higher accuracy at lower credit cost than Sonnet 4.6 — what changed and when to switch models.
Framer Agents, Branching, and the New Community
Framer's biggest platform shift in years: AI Agents that design, code, and manage CMS content on the canvas, Branching so teams can experiment without touching production, and a rebuilt Community for creators.
Framer Forms Antispam — Basic Rules and Advanced AI Spam Protection
Two antispam modes for Framer Forms: rule-based Basic checks for everyone, and Advanced AI analysis on paid plans when bot traffic still slips through.
Framer Spectrum and Crystal Logo Shaders — Light Lines and Glass Marks
Logo Shaders grow with Spectrum’s distortable monochrome light and Crystal’s image-backed glass—refractions, bevels, contours, and dispersion on your own marks.
Framer CMS Plugins — Sidebar, Save Fixes, and Esc Back to Canvas
After CMS 3.0, Framer is shipping targeted CMS improvements: plugins live in their own CMS sidebar view, overlay Save behaves reliably, and Esc drops you back to the Canvas.
Framer CMS 3.0 — Everything That Changed
Framer replaced the CMS with a keyboard-friendly, spreadsheet-style workflow built for large collections. Here is what moved, how to use it, and the templates that take full advantage of it.
Logo Shaders in Framer — Gradient and Glass for SVG and PNG Marks
Framer added a shader workflow purpose-built for logos—upload SVG or PNG, pick Gradient or Glass, then tune depth effects so motion hugs the silhouette instead of fighting it.
Framer Holo Shader — Holographic Gradients and Warpable Light in Shaders
Holo is a new gradient-class shader that reads like iridescent foil: you steer the math behind the spectrum and how the surface bends light, then drop it in from the Insert panel like other Shaders.
Framer Auto Translate — AI Localization for Canvas and CMS
Framer’s Auto Translate keeps multilingual sites in sync when you edit on Canvas or in the CMS—pick an AI model in locale settings, enable automatic passes, or run Translate All when you want control.
Bento Grids, Stack Sorting, and Layout Polish in Framer
A layout-focused canvas release: Bento-style grids in the Grid tool, calmer Stack reordering with placeholders that hold space, and fixes for nested grids, tickers, and image fit quirks.
Framer Chromatic Aberration Shader — RGB Distortion Modes for Image Assets
Chromatic Aberration is an image-class shader that separates color channels on your assets so stills and hero art can feel cinematic, pulsing, or subtly imperfect—without leaving the Insert panel.
Framer Shaders in the Insert Panel — Gradients, Image Effects, and Particles
Framer’s shader library lands in Insert: each effect behaves like its own tool—gradients, image treatments, particles—tuned for the web and meant to drag straight onto the canvas.
Framer Static Files — Serve PDFs, Verifications, and .well-known Paths on Your Domain
Upload files to your Framer domain at the path you choose—verification, manifests, PDFs, and .well-known assets—with lifecycle controls inside Advanced Hosting.
Framer Custom Distribution — Smarter A/B Tests and Analytics Upgrades
Control how much traffic hits each A/B variant before you commit to a full rollout — plus analytics polish for folders, CMS experiments, and Pro history.
Framer Flow Effect on Layout Templates — Animated Sections Across Every Page
Flow Effect now ships inside Layout Templates: animate sections from interactions or components once, then reuse the pattern on every page — with font previews in Text Styles and CMS along the way.
Framer Plugins 3.10 — createManagedCollection and CMS Plugin Fixes
Plugin authors get createManagedCollection for CMS collections that behave across every mode, plus CSV Import mapping, date displayTime, and a batch of integration fixes Framer shipped in late January.
Framer Instant Font Previews — Hover Before You Commit in the Font Picker
Hover any font in Framer's Font Picker to see it on your selected layer before applying — plus Find shortcuts for components and vectors, and a wide fix batch for layout and styles.
