Discover how to make the most of Figma's device frames for lifelike prototypes. This step-by-step guide helps boost your presentation and elevate user experience in product design, seamlessly.
In Figma, adding device frames makes prototype creation more authentic. Designers can display their work inside smartphones, tablets, and desktops, giving it a real-world touch. This polished presentation helps show how apps or websites will appear and function for users, making it easier for stakeholders to picture the final product. Using Figma's built-in device frames not only saves time but also keeps designs consistent across different prototypes. This, in turn, streamlines the design process and boosts collaboration efficiency.
First things first, open up your Figma project where you've got your prototype all set up. Make sure you've got all the screens, interactions, and elements ready to go.
Look over to the left side of the app. You'll see the "Assets" panel there. Click on it to see all the components and libraries you have at your disposal.
In the search bar within the "Assets" panel, type in "device frame." This will filter out and show you all the device frames available in Figma. Handy, right?
Now, just drag the device frame you want from the "Assets" panel and drop it onto your Figma canvas. Make sure it matches the device type you're designing for, like an iPhone, Android, or desktop.
If you need to, resize your prototype screens so they fit nicely within the device frame. You want everything to align perfectly without any overflow.
Select both the prototype screen and the device frame. Then, group them together by pressing Ctrl + G
(Windows) or Cmd + G
(Mac). This way, they move together as one unit.
Update your prototype interactions to target the new group instead of individual screens. This keeps the frame attached to the prototype during interaction previews.
Hit the "Present" button at the top-right corner of the Figma interface to preview your prototype. It should now display within the chosen device frame, giving you a more realistic view.
Finally, share your prototype with stakeholders, clients, or team members using the "Share" button. Make sure the link you share allows them to view or interact with the prototype within the device frame for a realistic presentation.
