April Update: REM
May 1, 2025
The April update introduces REM sizing, making responsive design in Framer easier than ever. REM is a font-size unit based on a default value—typically 16 pixels—that allows you to design type scales relative to that base value. This base value can even be customized per Breakpoint, making all text layers using REM responsive out of the box. When using Layout Templates, this gives you a single place to define both your Breakpoints and base sizes per Breakpoint. You can then tweak either of them without having to redo any of your Text Styles. This update also brings big performance improvements to Framer. The entirety of the app should feel faster, from menus to quick actions. Be sure to watch the video to learn more, and find our full changelog below.
