Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 10:34 pm

When it comes to prototypes, there are a few different ways that you can save them. One of the most popular ways to save a prototype is as a GIF.

GIFs are a great way to share your prototypes with others and they are also a great way to make your prototypes more interactive. In this article, we will show you how to save a prototype from Figma as a GIF.

To save a prototype from Figma as a GIF, you will first need to create a new project in Figma. Once you have created a new project, you will need to click on the “File” menu and then select “Export”. In the “Export” menu, you will need to select “Animated GIF” as the file type.

Once you have done this, you will be able to choose the frame rate and quality of the GIF. You can also choose to crop the GIF if you want to. Once you have chosen all of the settings for your GIF, you will need to click on the “Export” button.

PRO TIP: When saving a prototype from Figma as a GIF, it is important to note that the GIF will only be able to display the current frame of the prototype. This means that if the prototype is animated, only the first frame of the animation will be saved in the GIF.

After you have clicked on the “Export” button, your GIF will be saved to your computer. You can then share your GIF with others by emailing it or posting it online. You can also use your GIF in presentations or on websites. If you want to make your GIF more interactive, you can add hotspots to it.

Hotspots are areas in your GIF that people can click on. When someone clicks on a hotspot, they will be taken to another frame in the GIF or they will be taken to an external website. Hotspots are a great way to make your prototypes more interactive and engaging.

In conclusion, saving a prototype from Figma as a GIF is a great way to share your prototypes with others and make them more interactive. To save a prototype from Figma as a GIF, you will first need to create a new project in Figma.

Once you have created a new project, you will need to click on the “File” menu and then select “Export”.
