Animate transitions between pages in Framer

Learn how to animate transitions between pages in Framer. Jumping between pages doesn’t have to feel jarring. You will configure the relevant effect, trigger, and transition, then preview the interaction across breakpoints. Test the timing and final state before you use the interaction on your site in Framer.

Lesson details

Choose the page transition and set the incoming and outgoing states, duration, and easing. Apply it consistently to routes that belong to the same navigation flow, then preview links in both directions to check timing and overlap.

Keep the transition short enough that the next page feels responsive. Test browser back and forward actions, direct loads, reduced motion, and pages with different heights before using the effect across the whole site.

Preview the effect as part of the full page sequence. Timing that feels right in isolation can become slow or noisy when several sections animate during the same scroll.

What does this lesson cover?

The lesson covers the settings and steps used to animate transitions between pages in Framer. See Page Transition. Follow the demonstrated order in your project and review each change on the canvas before moving to the next step.

Which animation settings should I test in Framer?

Test the trigger, start and end states, timing, easing, and replay behavior used in the lesson. Preview the interaction at different viewport sizes and confirm that it supports the page hierarchy. Reduce or remove motion that distracts from content or makes controls harder to use.

Can I use this animation on a responsive site in Framer?

Yes. Preview the effect at every affected breakpoint and resize between them. Check trigger positions, clipping, motion distance, and the start and end states at narrow widths. Adjust the layout or effect when the animation obscures content or moves an interactive element away from its expected position.

What should I review after I animate transitions between pages in Framer?

Review the exact pages and elements changed by the workflow. Confirm that copy, links, accessibility, responsive behavior, and interaction states still work as intended. Use preview for the final check and keep publishing separate from editing so you can fix problems before visitors see the update.
