Use this interactive demo to learn how to add a shape to your Framer designs.

‍

To add a shape in Framer, follow these steps:

‍

Open your Framer project.
Click and incorporate 'Vector' graphics for scalable designs.
Add visual elements to enhance your design.
Customize the shape style.
Customize color schemes with an intuitive hex picker.
Add a fill color under the right panel.
Add interactive animations to engage visitors.

📌 Why this matters

Shapes serve as the foundation for creating custom icons, buttons, and interface elements that perfectly match your design vision. While pre-built components save time, custom shapes give you complete control over your visual identity and brand consistency.

Vector-based shapes scale flawlessly across devices and screen sizes, eliminating pixelation issues common with raster images. The real advantage emerges when you combine custom shapes with Framer's animation capabilities, creating unique micro-interactions that distinguish your prototype from template-based designs and provide users with memorable, polished experiences.
