Framer to Android app: ship your Framer site as an APK

Framer sites look great on phones. Wrapping one as an Android app keeps the animations and gives your product or portfolio a home-screen icon.

Short answer

Publish the Framer site, copy its framer.website or custom-domain URL, paste it into a URL to APK maker and build. Framer CMS and forms keep working because the app loads the live site.

Steps

  1. PublishFramer gives a free *.framer.website address; paid plans use your domain and remove the badge.
  2. Create the appWebsite to APK → URL → name, icon, colour.
  3. Test on a mid-range phoneFramer's effects are smooth on flagships; check a cheaper device too.

Keep it smooth on Android

  • Limit parallax and scroll-linked transforms on the phone breakpoint.
  • Prefer images over autoplay video backgrounds.
  • Large blurred backgrounds (backdrop-filter) are expensive on lower-end GPUs.
  • Check the Framer badge: free sites show it inside the app.

Before you publish on Google Play

A Framer site often is a landing page — and a landing page alone is the classic "website in a wrapper" that Play reviewers push back on. Give the app a job. Product companies add a changelog, docs or a status page; designers add a case-study library; agencies add a client area. If the Framer site links to a web app on another domain (your SaaS dashboard, say), make sure the app keeps that domain inside the app rather than bouncing users to Chrome — the app maker's link rules decide that.

Checklist

  • Custom domain connected and the Framer badge removed.
  • Mobile breakpoint checked at 360 px wide (common Android width).
  • All external links you care about tested — they should either stay in-app or open the right app.
  • Icon designed for a small, round mask: Android launchers crop icons to circles or squircles.
  • A privacy policy page on the site, linked from the Play listing.

Can I export Framer to HTML for an offline app?

Framer doesn't offer an official code export, so use the live URL.
