CMS Plugins

Framer brings plugins back to CMS with a dedicated sidebar view and fixes item overlay save and Canvas Esc navigation.

Plugins are back in the CMS. Since the release of CMS 3.0, we’ve been collecting your feedback and adding improvements. Plugins now have a dedicated view in the CMS sidebar, making them easier to find and use. Additionally, the Save button issues in the item overlay have been fixed, and you can now return to the Canvas by hitting Esc. More of these improvements are being worked on, including advanced sorting options to let you combine primary and secondary rules.

We’re launching with two Shaders, Gradient and Glass. Animations gently respond to the edges of your shape, while effects like Contour, Dispersion, and Bevel add realistic depth, as if your logos were truly 3D. Especially impactful on teaser pages and product launches.

CMS 3.0

Framer redesigns its CMS with faster table management, inline editing, bulk actions, smarter search and filtering, folder organization, and more flexible columns. It also improves keyboard navigation and field management with a cleaner dedicated panel.
The Framer CMS has been completely redesigned to make managing large collections faster and more intuitive. The new table view introduces full inline editing across all cells, eliminating the need to open overlays for most changes, with support for multi-cell selection, bulk actions, and quick copy and paste. Statuses, toggles, references, images, icons, and colors can all be updated directly in place. Keyboard navigation has been re-engineered from the ground up. Columns can now be resized, reordered, and customized, giving full control over the layout. New filtering and search capabilities make it easier to find exactly what you need, and collections can now be organized into folders for better structure. Additionally, fields have been moved to a dedicated panel with a cleaner UI and more space to manage fields. See all additions and fixes below.

Auto Translate

Framer introduces Auto Translate for Localization, keeping Canvas and CMS content synced across locales with new AI controls. It also adds Translate All in the Localization view and lets teams translate specific layers or pages directly from the Canvas.

Introducing Auto Translate, our newest addition to Localization. This feature keeps your content in sync across all locales automatically, both when you add content in the Canvas and in the CMS. You can find it in locale settings where you’ll also find new AI controls. From there, choose a model or leave the Auto option selected. In this post you can read more about how the latest AI models performed in our translation benchmarks. Once you picked your preference, and the Auto Translate option is enabled, any new or updated content on the Canvas gets immediately translated across all enabled languages, and the same applies to CMS content like blog posts. This way, you can continue editing and publishing without worrying about missing translations. For teams that prefer more control, the Localization view now includes a Translate All action that updates all the locales of the project at once, or lets you manually pick only a subset of them. Additionally, you can now also translate specific layers directly from the Canvas by right clicking a layer and picking Translate Content, or you can do the same for specific pages in the panel. This update aims to save you countless of hours in translations without compromising on quality.

Static Files

Framer launches Static Files, a new way to serve files from your Framer domain at any path you choose. It adds centralized file management for verification flows, manifests, and other assets, plus safeguards for size, format, and path validation.

Today we're launching Static Files, a new way to serve files from your Framer domain at any path you choose.

Upload files for verification flows, manifests, and other assets, then add, edit, and organize them in one place, alongside the rest of the Advanced Hosting settings.

Files support a full lifecycle (create, update path, replace file, delete), with built-in safeguards like size limits, supported format checks, and path validation to help prevent conflicts.

If you were previously using redirect workarounds to point root paths to /.well-known/…, with static files, those will no longer be necessary.

Static Files is included in the Pro and the Scale Plan.
