Sharing a Prototype Preview

To share a preview of your prototype, all you need to do is open the Preview and share the link directly from your address bar.

The Prototype preview that the receiver will see works just like your own Preview window, and you control exactly how it will show.

Configuring your shareable Preview

Before you want to share your prototype you may want to make some tweaks as to how you display your prototype. Framer’s Preview has many configurations to make presenting your prototype a great experience.

Devices

Framer’s Preview includes many device frames you can add to your prototype that’s being previewed.

Under the Devices option at the top of the Preview, you can pick between Realistic renders of existing devices or Clay devices.

If you’d rather present without a device frame, select the None option.

Device color

When you pick a Realistic device, you will notice that you are given various colors to pick from depending on which color is available for this device.

If you’ve picked a Clay device, the color is decided by the Theme and is thus restricted to a dark or light clay device.

Hands

For an extra dash of realism, your preview can also include a hand model.

Open the Settings and pick between two different hand models from the Hand property.

Note: Hand models are only possible with Realistic phone-sized Screens. When you currently picked a Clay device instead, choosing a hand in the settings will revert your device to a Realistic device. If you are prototyping for non-phone Screens, you are not able to add a Hand.

Theme

The theme of the Preview, Dark or Light, will automatically adapt to your project’s current dark or light mode.

To change it from within the Preview, open the Settings and toggle the Theme setting.

Background

To really make your prototype your own, you can also change the background you want to display around your prototype.

Open the Settings and click the Background property. This will enable you to choose between either a solid color or uploading an image fill.

Other sharing features

Sharing your prototype with someone on a mobile device

To view your Prototype view on mobile, click the Mobile icon in the middle top. This will display a QR code that you can scan with your mobile phone’s camera or QR code app.

Learn more about this in our Previewing article and the article on Preview Apps.

Permissions

When you are on a Pro or Enterprise team you can configure who can view your prototype. This can help protect the prototype preview link from being distributed to individuals who shouldn't see the work.

To learn more about turning the prototype preview link private, head over to the Private Link section in the Previewing article.
