Using the Drag Effect in Framer
In this Framer tutorial, you will learn Using the Drag Effect 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.
How do I make an element draggable in Framer?
To make an element draggable in Framer, select the element, go to the properties panel, scroll down to effects, and click to add the drag effect. You can then adjust settings such as free form, snapback, and momentum to customize the drag behavior.
What is the difference between free form and constrained drag in Framer?
With free form enabled, visitors can drag the element anywhere, even outside the bounds of its frame. If free form is set to no, you can choose a section or frame as a container, and the draggable object will stay within those boundaries.
How can I prevent a draggable element from being clipped or hidden by its parent frames?
If your draggable element is getting clipped, check the overflow settings of its parent frames. Set the overflow to visible on the relevant frames to ensure the draggable layer is not clipped and can move freely within the intended area.
