Get started with Vectors in Framer

Learn how to get started with Vectors in Framer. Vectors are everywhere in modern UI,from icons and illustrations to loaders, dividers, and micro-interactions. But as projects scale, managing vectors can quickly get messy and inefficient. You will work with the relevant media or Vector controls while keeping the result editable on the Framer canvas.

Lesson details

Start with the Vector tool, draw a simple path, and use the edit mode to adjust anchor points and curve handles. Apply fill and stroke properties from the panel, then place related artwork in a Vector Set when you want to reuse it as an icon system.

Name the Vector and its internal paths before the artwork becomes part of a larger library. Test it against light and dark backgrounds and at several sizes to catch thin strokes or uneven spacing.

Keep the source asset editable and organize it before reuse. Consistent names, dimensions, and visual bounds make later exports, CMS bindings, and shared libraries easier to maintain.

What does this lesson cover?

The lesson covers the settings and steps used to get started with Vectors in Framer. You will work with the relevant media or Vector controls while keeping the result editable on the Framer canvas. Follow the demonstrated order in your project and review each change on the canvas before moving to the next step.

Does the result stay editable in Framer?

Yes. The lesson keeps the relevant media, Vector, or asset work available on the Framer canvas. You can adjust sizing, styling, and placement after following the workflow. Check the exported or published result separately because file formats and compression can affect quality outside the canvas.

How should I check this asset on responsive pages?

Place the asset in the layouts where it will appear, then preview each breakpoint. Check crop, scale, resolution, and contrast against nearby content. Keep the source editable in Framer and inspect the exported or published file separately when format or compression affects the result.

What should I review after I get started with Vectors 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.
