Animating transitions between pages in Framer
In this Framer tutorial, you will learn Animating transitions between pages 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 add animated transitions between pages in Framer?
To animate transitions between pages in Framer, open your site’s main breakpoint (typically the desktop view), then navigate to the Effects panel in the right-sidebar. Click the + icon next to Page Effects, and choose whether you want the animation to apply across all pages or just a specific page. From there you can pick a preset (such as Fade, Slide, Push, or Wipe) or create your own custom exit (outgoing page) and entry (incoming page) animations. Preview your site to see the transition in action, and if you notice odd color flashes make sure the page background fills are set correctly for the effect.
Can I apply the same page transition effect to all pages at once?
Yes, you can apply the same page transition effect to all pages at once. When selecting a transition effect within the site’s design or animation settings, Inside the Page Effect settings, locate the target dropdown menu (which defaults to the current page name) and switch it to All Pages to apply the animation globally. This allows you to set a consistent transition for every page on your site in a single step, which is efficient and helps maintain a cohesive user experience, especially for larger websites.
How can I customize the direction of page transitions for specific page pairs?
You can customize the direction of page transitions for specific page pairs by adding an effect on the page you want to modify and targeting the specific destination page. For example, if you want the transition from ’Stories’ to ’Home’ to push right instead of left, add an effect on the ’Stories’ page targeting ’Home’ and select the ’push right’ preset. This overrides the default effect set for all pages for that specific transition.
