To export a Figma prototype, click the Main menu and select "File > Export" from the options. This will allow you to export different assets related to your prototype.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Access the Main Menu: In the Figma design editor, locate the Figma icon (usually in the upper-left corner). Click on it to open the main menu.
-
Navigate to Export: Within the main menu, hover over "File." A dropdown menu will appear. Select "Export" from this menu.
-
Choose Export Options: After selecting "Export," a dialog box or panel will appear, offering various export options. These options typically allow you to specify:
- Export Size: Choose the scale at which to export the assets (e.g., 1x, 2x, 3x).
- File Format: Select the desired file format for the export, such as PNG, JPG, SVG, or PDF. The best format depends on the asset type and intended use. For example, use SVG for vector graphics and PNG for images with transparency.
- Specific Assets: Figma allows you to select specific layers, components, or entire frames for export.
- Export settings: Define additional settings depending on the file format. For example, adjust the JPG quality, or include/exclude certain data from an SVG.
-
Name and Location: Choose a name for your exported file(s) and specify the folder on your computer where you want to save them.
-
Initiate Export: Click the "Export" button to begin the export process. Figma will then generate the files based on your selected settings and save them to the designated location.
Keep in mind that exporting your prototype as a playable demo involves sharing the prototype through Figma's built-in sharing features, not exporting files for a fully interactive, offline experience. Sharing allows stakeholders to interact with the prototype within a web browser.
