Wysiwyg is a slang term that stands for “What You See Is What You Get.” It is often used in digital design and technology to describe an interface or display that accurately represents the final appearance or outcome.
In the realm of digital design, Wysiwyg refers to an interface or display that shows exactly how the final product will look like. It means that there is no discrepancy between the preview and the actual output. This term is commonly used in graphic design software, website builders, and text editors to ensure that what users see on the screen is a true representation of the end result.
Example 1: When designing a website using Wysiwyg software, you can easily drag and drop elements onto your page, allowing you to see exactly how they will look once published without any coding knowledge.
Example 2: Wysiwyg text editors provide a real-time preview of the formatting changes, ensuring that the final document will appear as it is being edited, without any surprises when printing or viewing the finished product.
