Breakpoint Variant
A version of a component or layout specifically designed for a particular screen size, allowing different arrangements at each breakpoint. This approach provides precise control over how elements restack, resize, or hide across devices. In Framer, create breakpoint variants to transform horizontal navbars into mobile hamburger menus or reflow card grids into single columns.
