## Summary

Framer doesn’t have Figma’s “copy as PNG” — so this component fills that gap.

## Description

**QUICK NOTE**

For some reason it doesn't work in the community preview here but works just fine in the external preview. Might be due to the embed.

**Introduction**

Ever needed to grab a section of your design as an image and found yourself exporting, downloading, finding the file, then re-uploading it? Framer doesn’t have Figma’s “copy as PNG” — so this component fills that gap.

**The pain it solves**

Framer can’t copy a frame straight to your clipboard as a PNG. That means every time you want an image of a section, you’re stuck in the export → save → re-import shuffle. This component skips all of it: drop the button into a frame, open the preview, click it, and the frame is on your clipboard as a PNG — ready to paste anywhere.

**A slightly unconventional approach (that just works)**

Most components add something _to_ your published site. This one is really a designer’s utility wearing a component’s clothes — it uses the on-canvas component system to give you a clipboard tool Framer doesn’t ship natively. It’s a pragmatic, temporary fix rather than a “proper” feature, but it does the job cleanly today.

**Good to know**

-   Works when the frame can be opened in the **preview** and the **button is clicked** there.
    
-   The copied PNG **does not include the button itself** — you get a clean capture of the frame around it.
    

**Use cases**

-   **Post to socials, fast** — grab a section of your site as an image and paste it straight into a post, no exporting.
    
-   **Reuse frames as masks** — copy any frame and paste it back into Framer to use as a mask, without the export/import round-trip.
    
-   **Quick handoffs** — drop a section into Slack, docs, or DMs in seconds.
    
-   …and plenty more, anywhere you’d reach for “copy as image.”
    

A small tool that removes a surprisingly annoying friction. Until Framer supports this natively, it’s the shortcut your workflow has been missing.
