Using Plugins

Learn how plugins enhance your design workflow and how to find and open them in Framer.

Plugins in Framer are third-party tools that expand what you can do with the app. They let you automate tasks, customize your workflow, and connect Framer with other services — all without leaving your project.

Finding new Plugins

You can browse and discover plugins in two ways:

  • In the Framer Marketplace: Explore all available plugins with details and previews.

  • From within Framer: Open the Plugins menu to browse featured and recent plugins or search for something specific.
