Viewing in browser - actual size (100%)

Hi there, so I want to show my design progress to the client. Instead of exporting my artboards to pdf, I’d like to use the online version. What I ran into is the view settings. I notice that every artboard is shown with a different size. Seems like the default view mode is fit in the browser window. But for the review/presentation of my design it is better to show it on actual size. Now I have to set it to actual size manually each time I select an artboard. Is there a way to set the view mode to actual size? For me this is a reason to stick with the export/pdf setup… Thx!

To be clear; I create my designs locally in Sketch and then select the ‘View in browser…’ option in the menu bar. My question is about the view settings when viewing the design in browser (I’m using Safari on a Mac).

Hi there Wouter!

Welcome to the Forum, thank you for taking the time to share this.

You can select the view preference you need and share a link that will load with that preference every time. You’ll need to use the web app to do it.

Follow these steps once you’ve saved your document to your workspace

  • Open the document in the web app
  • Press D to show the Document Details panel
  • Click on the prototype thumbnail you need
  • Once the prototype has loaded, click on the display dropdown
  • Select Actual size
  • Click on the link icon and then click on Copy link

The link you copied will open the prototype with the display option you selected.

Here’s a quick video, I hope it helps:

Hi Jorge! I do not have prototypes, only art boards.
