Easier comparing Figma design with its implementation for designers and developers.
Ghost Screen Extension
Extension for Google Chrome. Integration with Figma API allows you to compare a design and its implementation in one click and immediately see what needs to be fixed.
Why?
- No export/import: design is taken directly from Figma automatically;
- No need to spend time setting up. Ghost Screen opens your site with required resolution and places the design above it in correct way;
- It is convenient to compare a 1920px design and a site in a required resolution even on a 1020x768 laptop.
How it works?
Install from the official Chrome Store → Sign in with your Figma account → Choose a frame and its implementation to compare. Then Ghost Screen will define how to accurately lay out the design of any size on top of the site.
