What are plugins?

Framer plugins are third-party tools or add-ons that extend Framer's functionality. They help you not only design but also automate repetitive tasks or integrate with external services.
For example, plugins can provide functionality to check search engine data directly on the design canvas or easily import frequently used image assets.

Plugins are especially useful in cases like these:

• When you want to automate functions frequently used by your team

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

• When you want to fill in the gaps left by Framer's default features

Where can you find plugins?

The easiest way is to check the section by clicking the ‘Plugins’ button on the Framer Marketplace.
Alternatively, you can click the ‘Plugins’ icon button in the lower menu of the Framer tool to access a list of available plugins immediately.

How to install plugins

There are two methods to install plugins.

1. Using the Framer Marketplace

1. Navigate to the details page of the desired plugin on the Marketplace.

2. Click the ‘Open Plugin in’ button.

3. Select the project you wish to install it to.

Depending on the project, you will see various options, allowing you to create a new project or select an existing one.

2. Using the internal Framer menu

1. Click the 5th tab ‘Plugins’ icon in the bottom bar

2. Search for or browse plugins in the popup window

3. Click the desired plugin and install it

Frequently used plugins can be quickly reused from the ‘Recents’ section.

Try making your own plugin

Framer also offers a plugin creation feature for developers and creators.

You can apply your custom-made plugins to team projects or share them with other users on the Marketplace.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact the Framer team via email (creators@framer.com).
