Today let’s talk about a feature in Framer that is arguably one of the most powerful while also being the least understood by most designers — overrides.

Designers often get intimidated because they think they need to be a programmer to use this feature — but today I’ll show you how they work and how you can add amazing effects in your file without writing a single line of code.

What are Framer overrides?

Overrides empower you to unleash the full potential of Framer, going beyond the boundaries of the interface!

By leveraging these versatile code snippets, you can take control of an element’s property and truly personalize it. Imagine the endless possibilities, from transforming colors to infusing real-life data or even launching animations on cue.

Make your Framer web projects stand out with powerful overrides.

How do I add an override in Framer?

Integrating an override in Framer is a breeze and doesn’t require any coding skills. Think of overrides as handy cheat codes; just copy and paste them to access a vast range of possibilities. Enhance your designs effortlessly while maintaining an informative approach with the power of Overrides.

Here is a full tutorial on how to add them to your designs: https://frameroverrides.com/how-it-works

What are the benefits of using overrides?

There are several benefits to incorporating overrides into your workflow, rather than solely relying on the interface and variants.

  1. Reduced file bloat
    Overrides keep your project files neat and tidy.
  2. Unlimited element effects
    Apply desired effects to countless elements without creating multiple variants.
  3. Quick effect implementation
    Add or remove effects in just a few seconds, saving time and effort.
  4. Cleaner workflow
    Maintain an organized and efficient design process with overrides.
  5. Easy effect adjustments
    Effortlessly tweak effects without the need to edit multiple variants.
  6. Enhanced customization
    Tailor specific interactions and animations to your liking.
  7. Reusable code snippets
    Save time by reusing overrides across various elements and projects.

Why use overrides when I can animate in the interface?

Well for starters, there are a ton of effects that simply can’t be accomplished in the Framer interface. Things like current time & date, follow the cursor, confetti, etc.

But that aside, let’s take the “scale on hover” effect as an example.

Achieving this effect in Framer’s interface is quite simple, however, this method demands redundant variants and can become laborious when applying the effect to multiple elements like cards, buttons, menu items, and more. In this case, you are managing and maintaining multiple unnecessary variants for each component’s default state and a scaled hover state.

In contrast, overrides offer a more efficient approach. Once you’ve added the code snippet to your file, it’s easy to connect it to multiple elements. Plus, you can conveniently adjust the scale amount, say from 105% to 120%, without any hassle. Using variants for this task would require moving numerous pixels and could lead to a cluttered, bloated file.

Embrace the simplicity and flexibility of overrides to streamline your design process.
