Framer Plugins: Your 2024 Guide

Framer’s biggest release in 2024 — Plugins unlocks a whole new world of possibilities for no-code web design. Here's how to get started with Framer Plugins and level up your projects.

What Are Framer Plugins?

Framer Plugins are mini-apps that integrate directly into your Framer projects, expanding functionality and offering new ways to enhance your designs.

Step 1: Opening Plugins in Framer

When you start a new project in Framer, you’ll spot a shiny new icon in the top left corner of your screen. Clicking it reveals the plugin interface where you can:

• Explore the Framer Plugin Marketplace

• Access your recently used plugins

• Check out plugins created by the Framer team

Once opened, plugins appear as a movable, resizable modal on your canvas, giving you total flexibility in your workspace.

Step 2: Finding New Plugins

To discover and explore available plugins, head over to the Framer Plugin Marketplace. There, you can browse through a variety of public plugins. When you find one that piques your interest, simply choose “Open Plugin” and select the project where you want it to be applied.

You can also revisit any plugin you’ve used before through the "Recent Plugins" tab for quicker access.

Step 3: How to Use Plugins

Each plugin is designed to interact with your current project. Some plugins add new elements directly to your canvas, while others transform or manipulate existing frames, images, or other assets.

Step 4: CMS Plugins in Framer

For CMS-specific plugins, the workflow differs slightly. In your CMS, you’ll notice a new “Plugins” menu. Clicking it opens a search window where you can browse through CMS-related plugins.

Plugins like Notion Sync will add a new collection to your CMS that is entirely managed by the plugin itself, which means that each plugin offers unique functionality depending on your use case.

Now you’re all set to explore Framer Plugins and power-up your projects. Framer Plugins just made it easier than ever to build with speed!
