Is Adobe XD "play preview" 100% scale?

Hi All,

I'm new to Adobe XD and currently getting an understanding of it by creating a website prototype—I am generally clicking the "Desktop preview" Play button at the top right-hand corner to see how its looking, however, when I publish and view the link in a browser (Enlarging it with the full-screen arrows) it seems to be a lot more zoomed in then the desktop preview.

So my question is which one is the actual size? The desktop preview or the published version? Just checking so I can understand the final fonts sizes and layout etc.

Thanks!

Aaron

Correct answer Peter Villevoye

No of course not, because it's too damn difficult to take all the variables into account which might influence whatever text size those dreaded users eventually see on their screens. Your designs should be intended to give your valued client and routined front-end developer a fairly good idea what you're striving for. But the end result is always a mix of system and browser inconsistencies, and user preferences. So keep margins in mind while desiging and don't expect pixel perfect executions of your designs.

Hi Aaron,

Thanks for using Adobe XD and sharing the feedback. As per the description, you are unable to get the actual size of your prototype in fullscreen mode. I would request you to vote for this feature here: - View and share design prototypes at actual size – Adobe XD Feedback : Feature Requests & Bugs, you may also provide more information to the team in your comments.

Hope this helps, thanks.

Hi Atul,

Thanks for the feedback—I assume you mean full-screen preview mode not the published prototype fullscreen?

So is Stuart's comment is correct below?

Thanks.
