This lesson was released before Agents, Branching, and the CMS update on June 16, 2026. Some UI may differ, but the core concepts still apply.

Create persistent animations between pages in Framer
Learn how to create persistent animations between pages in Framer. When elements are shared between pages, it can still feel a bit jarring or at least unnecessary for those elements to transition away only to come right back a moment later.
Lesson details
Give matching elements on two pages the same transition identity so Framer can carry the visual from one route to the next. Keep the source and destination layers structurally compatible, then configure the page transition around the shared element.
Preview navigation in both directions and test direct page loads, because a persistent transition should not be required for the destination layout to work. Avoid carrying large or interactive elements when the motion obscures navigation.
Build the static composition first, then add movement. This keeps copy, controls, and responsive layout usable when reduced motion is enabled or the effect has not loaded yet.
Frequently asked questions
How do I create persistent animations between pages in Framer?

What does this lesson cover?
The lesson covers the settings and steps used to create persistent animations between pages in Framer. See Template. 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 create persistent animations 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.
