How to export Framer components to React

Why export from Framer to code?

Framer is one of the most powerful design tools for creating interactive, production-quality UI. But exporting those designs into your React codebase has always required manual recreation — until now.

Framer to AI is a Framer plugin that exports any component into a self-contained React package. No copy-pasting CSS. No recreating layouts by hand. The prompt includes everything the component needs to render — full code, types, and integration instructions that tell your coding assistant exactly how to integrate it.

What you need

• A Framer project with at least one component
• The Framer to AI plugin installed
• A React or Next.js project to integrate into
• react and framer-motion as project dependencies

Step 1: Select your component in Framer

Open your Framer project. Click on the frame or stack you want to export. If it's not already a component, right-click and select “Create Component”. The plugin exports any component — buttons, cards, heroes, navbars, entire sections.

Step 2: Run the Framer to AI plugin

With your component selected, open the Framer to AI plugin from the plugin panel. Click Copy Prompt. The plugin does three things:

1. Bundles the component — all code, styles, assets, and dependencies are packaged into a single folder.
2. Generates TypeScript types — every prop, variant, and event handler gets a type definition.
3. Creates an AI prompt — a structured prompt with import paths, usage examples, and integration instructions is copied to your clipboard.

The AI prompt — with full component code, types, and integration instructions inline — copies to your clipboard.

Step 3: Paste into your AI tool

Paste the prompt into Claude Code, Cursor, or any AI coding assistant. The AI saves the files for you. A typical project structure looks like this:

your-project/
├── components/
│   └── framer/
│       ├── MyComponent.tsx
│       ├── runtime.js
│       └── types.ts
├── ...

You can also Download ZIP for a self-contained package with all dependencies included.

Step 4: Integrate with AI or manually

You have two options:

• Paste the AI prompt into Claude Code, Cursor, or Lovable. The prompt tells the AI exactly where to import the component and how to use it. The AI handles the integration for you.
• Import manually — the package includes clear import paths and usage examples. Just import the component and use it like any other React component.

What gets preserved

The generated package captures everything about your Framer component:

• Layout and positioning
• Typography, colors, and spacing
• Animations and interactions
• Responsive variants (Desktop, Tablet, Mobile)
• Hover states and transitions
• Custom fonts (referenced, not embedded)

Tips for best results

• Use components, not frames. The plugin converts Framer components. If your design is just a frame, convert it to a component first.
• Name your layers. Descriptive layer names produce more readable code and better AI prompts.
• Add responsive variants. If you have Desktop, Tablet, and Mobile variants, the generated package includes automatic responsive switching.
• Keep it modular. Convert individual components rather than entire pages for more flexible integration.

That's it. Select, copy prompt, paste. Your Framer design is now a production React component in your codebase.
