Everything designers and agencies need to know about converting a Framer site to an Android APK.
Does Free App Maker work with Framer sites?
Yes. Any Framer site published to a public URL — whether on a framer.website subdomain or a custom domain — can be converted to a signed Android APK. Free App Maker loads the Framer site inside an Android WebView, preserving all animations, interactions, CMS content, and navigation.
Do Framer animations and interactions work in the Android app?
Yes. Framer uses CSS animations and JavaScript (via Framer Motion) for all its visual effects. Both run natively inside Android's WebView, which uses the Blink rendering engine — the same engine powering Chrome. Scroll animations, page transitions, spring effects, hover states (triggered by touch on mobile), and interactive components all work in the Android app.
Does Framer CMS content appear in the Android app?
Yes. Framer CMS content is fetched from Framer's servers at runtime when the WebView loads your site. All CMS collections — blog posts, product listings, team members, case studies, or any other dynamic content — appear exactly as they do in the browser. Update content in Framer and it appears in the Android app automatically.
Does the Android app update when I republish in Framer?
Yes. The APK loads your live Framer URL at runtime. Every time you click Publish in Framer, users see the updated design, content, and animations the next time they open the Android app — no new APK build, no Play Store resubmission, no update prompt.
Can I publish a Framer site to Google Play?
Yes. The signed APK can be submitted to Google Play. You will need a Google Play Developer account ($25 one-time fee) and should review Google Play's policies for WebView apps. For Play Store submissions, generate your own release keystore and re-sign the APK to ensure you control the signing key for future updates.
Is this completely free?
Yes. Free App Maker is 100% free. No account, no credit card, no subscription, no per-build fee. Paste your Framer URL, enter your email, and receive a signed APK at zero cost. There is no branding or watermark added to your APK.
Do Framer forms work inside the Android WebView?
Yes. Framer's native form component works inside the WebView — submissions are sent to Framer's form backend exactly as on the web. Third-party embedded forms (Typeform, HubSpot, Mailchimp) also work. Test your specific form configuration on a real device before submitting to the Play Store, since some redirect-based flows behave slightly differently on mobile.
What Android version does the APK support?
APKs target Android 5.0 (API level 21) and above, covering over 99% of active Android devices worldwide. Framer's mobile-responsive layouts render correctly across all Android screen sizes. The Android System WebView is automatically updated by Google through Play Services, keeping your Framer app compatible with modern CSS and JavaScript features.
