PhotoType is a Framer code component that fills bold display text with any image, turning a headline into a photo-clipped statement piece. Upload an image, type your text, and the photo shows through the letterforms instead of sitting behind them. No animation, no scroll dependency, just a clean static effect that renders instantly and stays lightweight. WHAT IT DOES PhotoType clips your background image to the exact shape of your text using native CSS text-clipping, so the image only appears within the letters. Text defaults to bold uppercase for maximum impact, ideal for hero headlines and brand names.
