How Do You Add a Mockup in Figma?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 10:38 pm

Mockups are an essential part of the design process, allowing you to visually communicate your ideas to clients and stakeholders. Figma is a great tool for creating mockups, as it offers a wide range of features and plugins to make the process quick and easy. In this article, we’ll show you how to add a mockup in Figma.

When you first open Figma, you’ll be presented with a blank canvas. To add a mockup to this canvas, simply click on the “Add Frame” button in the toolbar.

This will open up a library of pre-made frames, which you can use as-is or customize to your liking. Once you’ve found a frame that suits your needs, simply click on it and it will be added to your canvas.

If you need more control over the size and shape of your frame, you can also create a custom frame by clicking on the “Create Frame” button in the toolbar. This will allow you to set the width, height, and other parameters of your frame.

PRO TIP: Be careful when adding mockups in Figma – they can sometimes distort the underlying vectors and cause problems when exporting. If you’re not careful, your mockups may not look quite right when viewed on other devices or in other software.

Once you’ve added your frame to the canvas, you can start adding elements to it. To do this, simply click on the “Add Item” button in the toolbar and select the element that you want to add from the library.

For example, if you want to add a button to your mockup, you would select the “Button” element from the library. You can then customize this element to your liking by setting its properties in the right sidebar.

Once you’re happy with your element, simply click on the “Add” button and it will be added to your mockup. Repeat this process for all of the elements that you want to add to your mockup.

When you’re finished adding elements, you can save your mockup by clicking on the “File” menu and selecting “Save.” Alternatively, you can press CTRL + S (Windows) or CMD + S (Mac) on your keyboard.
