Figma Portfolio Prep & Export: Showcase Your Work on Dribbble & Behance

Show your work professionally on Dribbble, Behance, and beyond.

Why Portfolio Prep Matters

Your portfolio is your first impression. Proper preparation ensures:

✅ Projects look polished and professional

✅ Assets are correctly sized and optimized for web platforms

✅ Case studies communicate design process clearly

✅ Stakeholders and potential employers understand your workflow

Goal: Showcase your Figma projects effectively and professionally.

Organizing Your Project Step by Step

1. Clean Up Your Figma File

• Remove unused layers, components, and frames
• Organize pages: “Wireframes”, “Designs”, “Prototypes”, “Exports”
• Name layers and frames clearly for readability

2. Prepare Components & Screens

• Ensure all components are consistent (buttons, cards, headers)
• Check auto layout and responsive behavior
• Verify colors, typography, and spacing are accurate

3. Highlight Key Features

Select frames or sections that demonstrate:

• Layout skills
• Interactivity
• Design system usage
• Theming and responsive adjustments

Exporting Assets for Portfolio

1. Select Frames or Components

• Use File → Export or the Export panel
• Common export formats:
  • PNG for static images and thumbnails
  • SVG for icons or vector illustrations
  • PDF for full case study downloads

2. Set Export Settings

• Resolution: 1x for web, 2x for high-density screens
• Background: Transparent or white, depending on platform
• Naming: Use clear names (BlogCard_Hover.png, Homepage_Desktop.png)

3. Export Multiple Screens

• Use slices or batch export to save time
• Verify alignment and image quality

Creating Portfolio Case Studies

1. Project Overview: Problem, goal, and target audience
2. Wireframes & Layouts: Show process and iterations
3. Final Designs: Include interactive mockups or prototypes
4. Design System Usage: Highlight components, variants, and theming
5. Responsive Screens: Showcase desktop, tablet, and mobile
6. Interactive Prototype Link: Optional Figma prototype for live demo

Platforms like Dribbble and Behance allow combining visuals with text descriptions and links to prototypes.
