Create responsive breakpoints in Framer
Create breakpoints in Framer when a fluid layout no longer works at narrower viewport widths. This lesson adds tablet and phone layouts, explains what each breakpoint width means, and shows how to adapt type, spacing, direction, and visibility. Changes remain connected to the same page while each breakpoint can override the properties it needs.
Lesson details
In this Framer tutorial, you will learn Workshop: Creating breakpoints in Framer. We explain a practical workflow, highlight the key settings that affect the result, and show how to apply the technique on real pages for cleaner UX and better site performance.
Frequently asked questions
What are breakpoints in Framer?
Breakpoints are alternate layouts for different viewport ranges. They let you adapt a page when flexible sizing alone cannot keep the design readable or usable on smaller screens.
How do I add a breakpoint in Framer?
Use the add control on the breakpoint bar and choose the tablet, phone, or custom option. Framer creates another layout that inherits from the primary breakpoint.
What does the breakpoint width mean?
The width shown on the canvas is also the minimum viewport width at which that breakpoint becomes active. Framer uses the available breakpoint ranges to choose the correct layout in the browser.
Which properties should I change at smaller breakpoints?
Change only what the narrower layout needs, such as type size, Stack direction, gap, padding, width, or visibility. Keeping overrides focused makes the responsive system easier to maintain.
Do I always need desktop, tablet, and phone breakpoints?
No. Add a breakpoint when the layout starts to fail, rather than adding one by habit. Some pages need only desktop and phone, while denser layouts may benefit from a tablet state.
