Create page transitions with Page Effects in Framer
Create page transitions in Framer with Page Effects built on the View Transitions API. Apply one effect across all pages or target a specific route, then use presets or customize the current page’s exit and the next page’s entrance. The visual controls let you combine page transitions with other Framer effects.
Lesson details
In this Framer tutorial, you will learn Page Effects (View Transitions). 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
How do I add page transitions in Framer?
Open the Effects panel, add a Page Effect, and choose whether it applies to all pages or a specific page. Start with a preset, then preview the site and adjust the entrance, exit, and transition settings.
Can one Page Effect apply to every page?
Yes. From the homepage, you can create an all-pages effect that runs between routes across your site in Framer. Use a page-specific effect when one route needs different transition behavior.
Can I customize the enter and exit animations separately?
Yes. Page Effects let you control how the current page leaves and how the destination page appears. This makes it possible to build more than a basic crossfade while keeping both sides of the transition coordinated.
Do Page Effects work with existing Framer effects?
Yes. You can combine a page transition with effects already used inside the destination page. Preview the complete navigation flow to make sure the motions do not compete or make the page feel slow.
What should I test before publishing a page transition?
Test links in both directions, pages with different heights, and each breakpoint. Confirm that the transition supports navigation instead of delaying it, and reduce motion when the effect feels distracting.
