About this lesson

Shaders in Framer let you design stunning visual effects like animated gradients, particles, and image filters. Built for professional designers, these effects are fully customizable through simple properties and optimized for web performance.

You'll find shaders in the insert panel, ready to drag and drop into your projects. Each shader works like its own design tool with unique controls. Gradient shaders include seed properties for infinite variations, while image shaders transform your uploads into something truly unique. Particle shaders create everything from floating elements to snow effects.

Three shader types are available today: colorful animated gradients perfect for backgrounds, image shaders that transform your photos, and monochromatic effects like particles and mesh. More shaders are coming soon.

0:05[music]0:11[music]0:19[music]0:21Introducing shaders in Framer. Shaders 0:25let you design visual effects like 0:27animated gradients, particles, image 0:30filters, and much more. They are fully 0:33customizable through simple properties,0:36highly optimized for performance,0:37[music] and deeply integrated into our 0:40publishing workflows. So, you can use 0:43these rich dynamic visuals directly on 0:46your site. You can find our shaders in 0:49the insert panel, and that's also how 0:51you add them to your projects. So let's 0:54have a look. Shaders in framer are so 0:57customizable. Each one can be considered 1:00its own tool. For example, many of our 1:03gradient type shaders will include a 1:06seed property which is essentially a 1:08number that controls the random pattern 1:11at which the shader starts. Effectively 1:14giving you infinite variations to 1:16explore. and properties like colors,1:19definition, and noise let you dial in 1:22shaders exactly to your liking. Each 1:25shader has its own unique set of 1:28controls that you can customize. And at 1:31a high level, we have three different 1:33types of shaders in Framer [music]1:35today. The first being these colorful 1:38gradient type shaders that can be 1:40[music] animated and are perfect for 1:42designing stunning visuals and [music]1:44backgrounds.1:46The second being image shaders. These 1:49let you upload your own images and turn 1:52them into something truly unique. And 1:55the third being these dark black and 1:58white shaders like particles and mesh.2:01This particle shader in particular can 2:03be used for anything from floating 2:05[music] particles to snow effects to 2:08space warp effects. And this is just the 2:12beginning. We have many more shaders in 2:15the works that are coming soon. That's 2:18it for shaders in Framer.
