How Do I Get Mobile Screen in Figma?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 12:05 am

As someone who often designs for mobile applications, I’m always looking for ways to speed up my workflow. One tool that I’ve been using more and more lately is Figma.

Figma is a vector graphics editor and prototyping tool – think of it as a mix between Sketch and InVision.

One of the things that I love about Figma is that it has a built-in mobile screen. This means that I can design my app screens directly in Figma, without having to export them to another program.

And, if I need to make changes, I can do so directly in Figma.

To get started, create a new file in Figma and select the Mobile Screen template from the list of templates. This will give you a blank canvas that’s the exact size of a mobile screen.

From there, you can start designing your app screens. To add elements to your screen, you can use the various vector drawing tools in the left sidebar.

Or, if you have existing assets, you can simply drag and drop them onto your canvas.

PRO TIP: If you are not careful, you may end up getting mobile screen in Figma that is not the size you want. Make sure to measure your screen before starting this process.

Once you’re happy with your design, you can add interactivity by creating hotspots. Hotspots are clickable areas that you can link to other screens or external URLs. To create a hotspot, simply select the element on your screen and click the Create Hotspot button in the top toolbar.

Conclusion:

Creating mobile screens in Figma is an easy and efficient way to design your app interface. With the built-in mobile screen template and vector drawing tools, you can quickly create beautiful app screens without having to export them to another program.
