Hey there

Guise Docs live on desktop.

How to GuisePrototype

Present a Figma flow

Give your flow a window of its own. Guise lets you open a Figma prototype at a size that suits the design, present its interactions, and keep the moments worth revisiting.

Before you begin

Have your Figma prototype link ready, and check that the people viewing it have access. You’ll also need the dimensions of the frame you want to present. You can find these in Figma when that frame is selected.

Set access to “Anyone” when sharing the prototype link with friends, founders, or anyone previewing your design.

Set the window size

Add the exact height and width of the design frame.

Design size: width 1700, height 1033

For example, the design frame here is 1700 × 1033 pixels.

You can use any size. There are no restrictions, but a desktop-sized design works best.

For longer designs

If you’re presenting a website or a taller design,
choose “Website” and enter only the design’s width.

If your prototype has a scrollable section, you can choose “Product.” For a taller design that needs the whole page to scroll, choose “Website.”

Corner Radius

Set the corner radius of your presentation window.
Choose a value that matches your design.

You can set a corner radius of up to 16 points.

Presentation Settings

Make a perfect presentation

As a designer myself, I love to express my creativity in my own unique way, and I don’t want anything to interrupt that.

I’ve added these options to help you do the same. You can hide the cursor in screenshots and turn on Presentation Mode to completely hide the macOS menu bar and Dock, keeping everyone’s attention on your creation.

Guise hides the system cursor by default.

Start presenting.

See your product’s design in a way that feels as though it is already live. Guise gives you better ways to present your design. When you are on a call with your team or founders, you can present it like a live product, giving everyone a clearer way to review your design and make decisions about it. You do not have to wait until the end to bring up updates or make changes.

You now have a better way to see and experience your design.

When presenting, use ⌘⇧3 to capture the entire screen. Guise saves those screenshots inside the app, where you can add comments and markup.

Screenshots captured with ⌘⇧4 and ⌘⇧5 are saved in Guise’s designated Finder folder, “My Guise Shots.” You can find the screenshots from that session in this folder.

Happy presenting.
