What is a Tooltip?
A Tooltip
is a small balloon-like window that appears over buttons or icons when you hover your mouse or perform specific actions. In this article, we'll explore the components of a simple tooltip that can be used in your projects. Feel free to copy and customize the provided Remix link for various projects!
When explaining the function of a button
When clarifying the meaning of an icon
When providing additional information to users
In short, tooltips are devices that can deliver information at the right moment, like in the three scenarios above, without cluttering the screen.
Why Use Tooltips?
The greatest advantage of tooltips is their ability to provide contextual guidance
. For example, buttons with only icons may not be intuitive to beginner users. With a tooltip, they can quickly understand the button's purpose.
Moreover, it helps maintain a clean UI
by avoiding having long explanatory texts always visible on the screen.
Utilizing in Projects
In Framer, tooltips can be easily componentized
. Once created, they can be attached to buttons, links, icons, and more.

Connect tooltips to buttons
Provide additional explanations for icons
Expose hints for specific features
This method of applying tooltips enhances user experience and improves the overall quality of the service. In what scenario do you wish to use tooltips most frequently? Remix the project to create your own tooltips.
