How to Use Wireframer in Framer

On May 21, 2025, Framer officially announced the launch of a brand-new AI feature — Wireframer, an intelligent assistant designed specifically for webpage structure construction. Unlike previous approaches that relied on plugin extensions, Wireframer is a native built-in tool deeply integrated into the Framer editor’s creative workflow, marking a significant milestone for Framer in AI-driven website building.

Before this, Framer’s AI capabilities mainly focused on component-level automatic generation. For example, Workshop provided users with powerful support for component programming. However, at the higher level of webpage layout construction, there had been a lack of a corresponding intelligent system. The birth of Wireframer perfectly fills this gap — it can quickly generate complete page structures based on instructions, greatly shortening the time from concept to layout.

From components to pages, from local to overall, Framer is gradually reshaping the front-end design and development process through AI. The arrival of Wireframer is not only a natural extension of AI capabilities but also further strengthens Framer’s product positioning and competitiveness in the no-code era.

What Is Wireframer in Framer?

For many users who are new to Framer or have not closely followed the platform updates, Wireframer may be a completely new and unfamiliar term. This section will systematically introduce what Wireframer is, how it works, and why it represents a key upgrade in Framer’s AI capabilities.

1 Wireframer: Framer Built-in AI Tool for Webpage Structure Generation

Wireframer is a brand-new AI feature module officially integrated into the Framer editor in May 2025. It is designed to assist users in quickly creating initial webpage structure drafts through natural language instructions. Rather than being an external plugin or standalone tool, Wireframer is a native function deeply embedded in Framer’s core interface, allowing users to access and use it directly within the editor.

Unlike traditional visual drag-and-drop design or manual layout arrangement, Wireframer enables users to simply describe the type of webpage, structural hierarchy, and element requirements in a chat input box. The system then instantly generates a page framework that matches the description. This AI-driven generation method significantly lowers the barrier to web design, allowing content planners, product managers, or design beginners to enter the page-building phase much faster.

2 AI Composition: The Evolution from Workshop to Wireframer

Framer early AI capabilities mainly focused on automatic generation at the component level. For example, the Workshop feature can generate complete component code through natural language and supports subsequent editing. This made component creation efficient and intelligent.

However, Framer had long lacked an intelligent construction tool for the “page structure” level. The emergence of Wireframer fills this gap. It represents a leap from “intelligent component generation” to “whole page layout generation,” allowing Framer’s AI capabilities to cover the complete chain from modules to pages.

3 What Is the Significance of Launching Wireframer?

Wireframer is not only a product of Framer’s technological evolution but also a deep empowerment of productivity under the current trend of AI-driven website building. It redefines the starting point of web creation — shifting website construction from “canvas-based manipulation” to “language-driven” interaction. While giving users more creative freedom, it also significantly accelerates the pace from idea to output.

It is especially suitable for the following types of users:

• Product designers who want to quickly validate webpage structure ideas;

• Beginners who wish to obtain an initial page structure with minimal operations;

• Experienced developers pursuing highly efficient workflows.

How to Start Wireframer in Framer

Wireframer is a built-in feature of Framer, and its startup method is very straightforward, allowing quick activation without any additional configuration. In this section, we will provide a detailed introduction to three ways to start Wireframer: through the Insert menu, the main navigation Tool menu, and using keyboard shortcuts.

1 Method 1: Enable via the Insert Menu (Recommended)

The toolbar at the top of the Framer editor contains commonly used page element insertion points, and Wireframer is integrated in the most prominent position within this area.

1. Open the Framer project editing interface;

2. Click the Insert button in the top toolbar;

3. You will see the Wireframer entry at the very top of the dropdown list (as indicated by the red box in the above image);

4. Click this option to open the Wireframer panel and start entering your page construction instructions.

This method is suitable for all users, especially beginners who are new to Framer, as it offers a clear operation path and straightforward guidance.

2 Method 2: Access via the Tool Menu in the Main Navigation Bar

In addition to the Insert toolbar, Framer’s main navigation bar also provides an access point for Wireframer:

1. In the top-left corner of the Framer editor, click the main menu (the Framer icon button on the far left);

2. From the dropdown menu, select: Tools > Wireframer;

3. This will also open the Wireframer input interface with the same full functionality.

This method is more suitable for users who are accustomed to operating through system-level menus, especially when frequently switching tools during the design process.

3 Method 3: Quick Start Using Keyboard Shortcut

To improve efficiency, Framer has assigned a dedicated shortcut key for Wireframer:

Press the W key to instantly bring up the Wireframer panel.

The shortcut method is currently the most convenient way to launch Wireframer, especially suitable for experienced users and high-frequency operation scenarios. It is important to note that this shortcut only works when the focus is not on an input field or text is not being edited.

4 Tip: Interface Prompts on First Use

When you enable Wireframer for the first time, Framer may display a brief introduction or usage tips to help you quickly understand its functional logic. Simply follow the prompts step by step to start building your first AI-driven page draft.

With these three methods, you can choose the most convenient way to launch Wireframer based on your personal preference. The next section will continue to explain the core usage of Wireframer — how to write effective natural language instructions to build the desired webpage structure.

How to Use Wireframer to Automatically Generate Webpage Structure Layout

After launching Wireframer, Framer will automatically load the Wireframer interface on the left side of the editor (the area originally occupied by the Page and Layers panels). Its interface design continues Framer signature minimalist style, making operation intuitive with almost no learning curve.

This section will guide you through the complete usage process and tips for Wireframer, helping you quickly master how to generate high-quality webpage structure drafts through instructions.

1 Introduction to Wireframer Interface Structure and Features

The Wireframer interface is mainly composed of two core parts:

• Text Input Box: Used for entering natural language instructions to generate pages;

• Page Type Prompt Button Group: Located below the input box, used to quickly insert system preset page construction template commands.

1). How Do Page Type Prompts Assist in Construction?

When you hover your mouse over a prompt button (such as “Landing Page” or “Blog Page”), the placeholder text in the input box will immediately change to show the system preset instructions for that page type.

If you want to save input time, simply click any prompt button, and the placeholder content will automatically be filled into the input box as a formal instruction. You can then further edit, supplement, or replace the instruction to meet more personalized page structure needs.

2 How to Write Effective Wireframer Instructions?

Wireframer recognizes natural language instructions, so there is no need to use code. Simply describe the page structure you want clearly in English. Here are some practical tips and syntax suggestions:

1). Basic Syntax Structure Suggestions

Use clear page structure terms, such as:

• “hero section”

• “feature grid”

• “testimonials section”

• “newsletter signup”

You can add layout structure descriptions, such as:

• “3-column layout”

• “sticky navbar”

• “full-width image background”

2). Example Instruction 1 — Create a Homepage Draft

Create a landing page with a hero section, a three-column feature list, a testimonial section, and a contact form at the bottom.

3). Example Instruction 2 — Build a Blog Template

Design a blog page with a header, list of recent posts in a two-column layout, a sidebar with author bio, and a footer.

Wireframer will automatically build the corresponding page layout based on these descriptions and present it on the canvas as a low-fidelity structural draft.

3 Practical Tips: Help the AI Better Understand Your Intentions

• Describe the structure from large to small: first define the page type and overall structure, then specify each functional module.

• Control the hierarchy order: the order of your description determines the arrangement of modules on the page.

• Use concise short sentences: avoid long and complex sentences to improve instruction parsing accuracy.

• Try different expressions: the same structure can be described in various ways; find the expression that Wireframer understands best.

With Wireframer, you no longer need to start from a blank canvas—each page can begin to take shape with just one instruction. This is especially useful during the early stages of a project for page planning and structural exploration, enabling unprecedented efficiency in the design workflow.
