Make Click Targets Large in Framer
- Open your project in Framer and navigate to the page containing the interactive elements you want to adjust.
- Select the first interactive element (button, link, icon, image link, component with click interaction). The right-hand properties panel will appear.
- Check the element’s Frame Size in the Layout section:
- Ensure the width and height meet the recommended minimum target size of 44px × 44px.
- For Buttons:
- Select the button → open Design,
- Increase Padding around the text to enlarge the clickable area,
- Ensure the button remains at least 44px tall.
- For Text Links:
- If the link is very small, wrap it inside a Frame with padding,
- Or convert the link into a Button component for reliable sizing.
- For Icon Buttons (hamburger menus, close icons, arrows):
- Select the icon → open Layout,
- Increase width/height or add padding to reach 44px × 44px minimum,
- Ensure the icon’s hit area expands even if the icon graphic stays small.
- For Image Links:
- Select the linked image → resize using the bounding box,
- If keeping the image small, wrap it in a Frame and increase padding so the click area is larger.
- For Custom Frames acting as controls:
- Select the Frame → adjust Padding and Min Height until it meets the tap-size minimum,
- Open Accessibility to ensure it is Focusable and has a descriptive ARIA label.
- For Navigation Menus:
- Select each nav item within the menu component,
- Increase padding and spacing so links are large enough to tap comfortably,
- Check mobile menu layouts specifically to ensure touch-friendly sizing.
- For Carousels or Sliders:
- Select next/previous arrows → increase size or add padding,
- Ensure users can easily tap the arrows on mobile screens.
- Switch to Tablet and Mobile breakpoints:
- Verify that all controls remain at least 44px in height/width,
- Increase tap targets further if mobile spacing is tight.
- Enter Preview mode and test clicking/tapping with both mouse and keyboard. Confirm that each control is easy to activate without precision.
- Publish or update your project after all click targets meet accessibility size requirements.
