Framer Motion is a React animation library and hardware-accelerated motion engine. It provides a suite of systems for managing declarative transitions, automated layout interpolation, and animation states within React user interfaces.
The project distinguishes itself through a layout transition orchestrator that automatically interpolates visual changes when elements shift position or size. It includes an interactive gesture system to trigger motion based on drags, hovers, and taps, as well as tools for binding animation progress to scroll positions.
The library covers a broad range of motion capabilities, including the sequencing of complex choreography and the use of physics-based engines to calculate natural movement. It leverages native browser APIs and GPU-accelerated transforms to maintain high frame rates.
