Canvas

It's a space for designers to place elements and directly design visual structures. This space has unlimited extensibility, allowing for free and unrestricted element placement.
Framer's pages are always within the frame called 'Breakpoint.' This Breakpoint sets the standard layout for responsive web design, helping to adjust the design for different screen sizes like desktop, tablet, and mobile.
To place elements on the canvas, select the desired item from the
Insert
menu, then drag it onto the canvas. You can preview in real-time on the canvas and even simulate interactions immediately.
