Framer Spectrum and Crystal Logo Shaders — Light Lines and Glass Marks
Logo Shaders grow with Spectrum’s distortable monochrome light and Crystal’s image-backed glass—refractions, bevels, contours, and dispersion on your own marks.
Framer CMS Plugins — Sidebar, Save Fixes, and Esc Back to Canvas
After CMS 3.0, Framer is shipping targeted CMS improvements: plugins live in their own CMS sidebar view, overlay Save behaves reliably, and Esc drops you back to the Canvas.
Framer CMS 3.0 — Everything That Changed
Framer replaced the CMS with a keyboard-friendly, spreadsheet-style workflow built for large collections. Here is what moved, how to use it, and the templates that take full advantage of it.
Logo Shaders in Framer — Gradient and Glass for SVG and PNG Marks
Framer added a shader workflow purpose-built for logos—upload SVG or PNG, pick Gradient or Glass, then tune depth effects so motion hugs the silhouette instead of fighting it.
Framer Holo Shader — Holographic Gradients and Warpable Light in Shaders
Holo is a new gradient-class shader that reads like iridescent foil: you steer the math behind the spectrum and how the surface bends light, then drop it in from the Insert panel like other Shaders.
Framer Auto Translate — AI Localization for Canvas and CMS
Framer’s Auto Translate keeps multilingual sites in sync when you edit on Canvas or in the CMS—pick an AI model in locale settings, enable automatic passes, or run Translate All when you want control.
Bento Grids, Stack Sorting, and Layout Polish in Framer
A layout-focused canvas release: Bento-style grids in the Grid tool, calmer Stack reordering with placeholders that hold space, and fixes for nested grids, tickers, and image fit quirks.
Framer Chromatic Aberration Shader — RGB Distortion Modes for Image Assets
Chromatic Aberration is an image-class shader that separates color channels on your assets so stills and hero art can feel cinematic, pulsing, or subtly imperfect—without leaving the Insert panel.
Framer Shaders in the Insert Panel — Gradients, Image Effects, and Particles
Framer’s shader library lands in Insert: each effect behaves like its own tool—gradients, image treatments, particles—tuned for the web and meant to drag straight onto the canvas.
Framer Flow Effect on Layout Templates — Animated Sections Across Every Page
Flow Effect now ships inside Layout Templates: animate sections from interactions or components once, then reuse the pattern on every page — with font previews in Text Styles and CMS along the way.
Framer Plugins 3.10 — createManagedCollection and CMS Plugin Fixes
Plugin authors get createManagedCollection for CMS collections that behave across every mode, plus CSV Import mapping, date displayTime, and a batch of integration fixes Framer shipped in late January.
