FanGallery

FanGallery is a fanning panel gallery for Framer, vertical image columns that grow wider on hover or click while their neighbors compress, like a hand of cards or a window blind opening, not a simple hover-enlarge.

Each panel carries a category badge, project title, and outbound link, so the gallery works as a real project showcase, not just a visual toy. On narrow screens, inactive panels switch to a compact numbered mode automatically.

WHAT IT DOES

Add up to 8 items, each with an image, title, category, and link. Visitors hover, click, or focus any panel to expand it, the panel widens, a gradient overlay shows a category badge, title, and "View Project" link, while others compress and dim. On narrow containers, inactive panels collapse to a centered ID number.

KEY FEATURES

• Fanning panel layout, panels grow in width, not a flat hover-enlarge

• Category badge, title, and outbound link on the active panel

• Resize-aware narrow mode, rotated labels switch to numbered IDs

• Adjustable inactive dimming for clear focus

• Spring-based expand physics, tactile and elastic

• Full typography and color controls, title, meta, badge

• Graceful image fallback if a source fails

• Keyboard accessible, Enter and Space trigger activation

• Static-safe rendering for the Framer canvas and thumbnails

• Zero third-party dependencies beyond Framer Motion

WHY IT WORKS

Most accordion galleries just enlarge the hovered image. FanGallery treats each panel as a real project entry, badge, title, and link included, so it functions as a portfolio piece, not a decorative hover toy.

PERFECT FOR

Architecture and design portfolios, agency project showcases, photography collections, and any Framer site presenting a handful of projects that deserve attention.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

A single drop-in component. Add up to 8 items with image, title, category, and link, then tune colors, typography, and dimming through property controls.

Drop it in, load your projects, and let the panels do the fanning.
