"Show in original size" in browser prototype
closed
Svenn-Petter Maehle
I'm designing for small desktop screens since it makes more sense to scale up than scale down. When sharing desktop prototypes with stakeholders with larger displays, they have two options: Show the prototype in a scaled down version (this reduces the prototype to smaller than the original design on 15" displays. Their other option is to go fullscreen, but going fullscreen fills up the entire screen and makes everything seem bigger than it is.
How about: An option to force the prototype to show in original size like the desktop app preview allows us to do. This would create empty space around the prototype but still allow it to show the sizes accurately.

There is now an option to view prototypes in their original size on ProtoPie Cloud

Patricia (ProtoPie Team): Hi, we keep finding that even though we have checked the "Original size (100%)" option in the cloud, the resulting shared link will resize the design to fit the browser height on different devices. So the design at 375 x 812px will scale up on an iphone 12 pro max, and not show the text at true size.

Jess Xuan: Currently, pie urls don't responsively adjust to different screen sizes. If the prototype's original size - the size you set up in ProtoPie Studio when creating the prototype - doesn't match the size of the screen you open the url on, then the prototype won't display as intended. If you need to prototype for iPhone 12 pro max, you need to choose this device in ProtoPie Studio, or enter an appropriate custom size.

Patricia (ProtoPie Team): I don't expect the design to responsively change based on different devices, but for example; a 50px rectangle on a iPhone XR (designed on a custom scene size) will be displayed as a different size on iPhone 12 Pro max. I would expect both devices to show a 50px rectangle at true size but one will scale the rectangle and be maybe 47px. I just want them to display at the original designed size…

I have this exact issue. Protopie is great for mobile prototypes, but when it comes to desktop I would like to see an option to show the prototype with the browser chrome without scaling it. It will make the prototypes more realistic when testing web pages.
