Use this interactive demo to learn how to set a primary breakpoint for responsive design in Framer.

Quick summary

In Framer, the primary breakpoint is always the first breakpoint in your list, and changing it lets you control how your site adapts across screen sizes. This guide walks you through selecting breakpoint presets, applying device-specific styles, and adding new breakpoints to build a fully responsive design.


Steps

  1. Open your Framer project to get started.
  2. Understand that in Framer, the first breakpoint is treated as the main breakpoint.
  3. Open the Breakpoints panel to explore responsive design options and adapt your site for multiple screen sizes.
  4. Select the Phone390 preset to optimize your design for smartphone screens.
  5. Apply mobile-specific styling that won't affect your desktop design.
  6. See how elements automatically reflow to fit the selected screen size.
  7. Click the add icon to add a new breakpoint and optimize your design for additional devices.
  8. Review how your content adapts seamlessly across all breakpoints.

📌 Why this matters

Responsive design is a core requirement for any modern website, and Framer's breakpoint system gives designers precise control over how layouts shift across desktop, tablet, and mobile screen sizes. The primary breakpoint in Framer serves as the foundation for all other responsive rules, making it critical to configure correctly from the start. Understanding how to set and change the primary breakpoint helps teams avoid layout conflicts and ensures mobile-first or desktop-first strategies are applied consistently. This workflow is essential for any designer using Framer to build production-ready, multi-device websites.
