Option A
Toolbar Icon Row New
Three device icons sit directly in the toolbar next to the existing View controls. Clicking one updates the width/height fields and resizes the canvas. Manual inputs remain for custom sizes.

Design Rationale
  • Quick-access icons for phone/tablet/desktop cover the most common use case -- one-click switching without leaving the toolbar.
  • Chevron dropdown preserves the full list of device presets already in the product (iPhone 14, iPad Pro, etc.) so no functionality is lost.
  • Active state uses brand-primary color for clear selection feedback. Selecting a device from the dropdown highlights the matching quick icon if applicable.
  • Manual width/height fields update automatically but remain editable, so power users can type custom values.
  • Pattern mirrors browser DevTools device toggle -- familiar mental model for anyone who has used responsive testing.
Option B
Device Dropdown Selector New
The View area becomes an enhanced dropdown showing common device presets, recent selections, favorites, and a custom dimension editor. The trigger button displays the current device at a glance.

Design Rationale
  • Rich device library with real device names (iPhone 15, iPad Pro) eliminates guesswork about dimensions.
  • "Recent" section at the top surfaces the last-used device for quick repeat access.
  • Star/favorite system lets users pin their most-used presets. Favorited devices could persist across sessions.
  • Custom dimensions at the bottom handle edge cases without cluttering the main list.
  • Dropdown approach consolidates everything into one compact trigger button -- saves toolbar space compared to Option A.
  • Higher implementation cost but more scalable if the device list grows (e.g., Android devices, custom org presets).
Option C
Visual Device Frame Preview New
A "Device Frame" toggle enables visual device chrome around the canvas. A device strip below the toolbar shows clickable silhouettes. A rotate button flips orientation for phone and tablet.

Design Rationale
  • Visual device chrome gives the strongest spatial context -- users see exactly how their page looks "in" a phone or tablet.
  • Device silhouette strip provides a visual picker that is more scannable than text labels or icon-only buttons.
  • Rotate button handles landscape vs. portrait for phone/tablet -- important for events that may be viewed in either orientation.
  • The frame is purely visual chrome: it wraps the same canvas content, so it does not affect the actual page dimensions or rendering.
  • Toggle lets users turn frames off when they want a clean preview without device chrome (e.g., for screenshots or presenting to stakeholders).
  • Highest implementation cost but most visually distinctive. May be more than needed for the typical use case of quick dimension checks.
