Axure RP Extension for Chrome

An extension that allows viewing of locally published Axure RP prototypes (HTML files) from Google Chrome.

The Axure RP Extension for Chrome enables seamless viewing of locally published Axure RP prototypes (HTML files) directly in Google Chrome. Designed specifically for efficient prototype review, this extension requires access to your local file URLs to display your designs accurately within the browser.

Please ensure you enable the "Allow access to file URLs" option after installation via Chrome's Extensions settings to use the extension properly. Note that this extension does not edit Axure project files and is unnecessary for web-hosted prototypes like those on Axure Cloud. Privacy is maintained as the extension solely facilitates local file viewing without tracking your information.

User reviews

The Axure RP Extension for Chrome is useful for previewing local Axure prototype files if users enable 'Allow access to file URLs' in the extension settings. It aids designers in interaction previews during development. However, it suffers from frequent disabling by Chrome, unresponsiveness, and poor performance over time. The extension has not received updates for years, leading to compatibility issues with current Axure files and Chrome versions. Many users report it does not open .rp files correctly, sometimes behaving like a downloader, and some raise security concerns. Overall, the extension is a workaround with mixed user satisfaction.
