What are plugins?

Framer plugins are third-party tools or addons that extend Framer's functionality. They don’t just help with design but also automate repetitive tasks or integrate with external services.
For example, you can check search engine data directly in the design canvas or easily load frequently used image assets through plugins.

Plugins are particularly useful in the following scenarios:

• When you want to automate functions that your team uses repetitively

• When you want to display real-time information by integrating with external APIs or data

• When you want to fill gaps not covered by Framer's basic features

Where can you find plugins?

The easiest way is to check the section by clicking the ‘Plugins’ button on the Framer Marketplace.
Alternatively, click the ‘Plugins’ icon button on the bottom menu of the Framer tool to quickly access the list of available plugins.

How to install plugins

There are two ways to install plugins.

1. Using the Framer Marketplace

1. Navigate to the detailed page of the desired plugin on the marketplace.
