#Center-align Presentation Mode - Is it possible?

I'm currently migrating my website mockups from Invision but I miss Invision's feature of starting your preview with the design already center-aligned so it behaves like an actual site. In Figma, when previewing my 1920px wide designs on smaller laptop screens, I always start left aligned and I have to scroll to the right before scrolling down. Any solutions for this? Thanks!

Hey @knotty mulch Have you tried these different setttings yet?

#

maybe fit width could help

Thanks @real willow, I have been using fit width as an alternate solution but I don't think it gives an accurate representation of the design since it shrinks it rather than cropping the sides. I was hoping there was a similar feature to Invision's auto centering

#

though i feel like if it is being cropped down, that is kind of inaccurate too?

#

but yeah you can techincally center the contents itself using autolayout

Just tried the autolayout solution but it still starts off as left-aligned in presentation mode. Do I center the whole main frame or the contents within the frame?

oh wait, sorry nevermind. Just realized that maybe that wont help either. I guess if the width of your main frame is bigger than your screen it will always be from left

#

my idea was more like if the main frame is just as big as your laptop screen, but you center the stuff in it would work

#

but i guess you cant really make it work for all screens
