Set minimum and maximum sizing in Framer

Learn how to set minimum and maximum sizing in Framer. When you use flexible sizing modes like fill or relative, you run the risk of things being stretched or squashed to such a degree that things get a bit… well… ugly.

Lesson details

Set minimum and maximum width or height values around a flexible size so a layer can respond without becoming unusably small or oversized. Apply the bounds to the element that owns the behavior, then let its parent Stack or grid distribute the remaining space.

Resize through the full range instead of checking only named breakpoints. Watch for clipped copy, excessive line lengths, empty space, and child elements whose own limits conflict with the parent.

Keep the layer tree easy to read while you work. Clear names and purposeful containers make later responsive edits faster and reduce accidental changes to the wrong parent.
