Adobe XD
Design, prototype, and share user experiences
Prototype your ideas faster with Adobe XD, the all-in-one UX / UI solution for designing websites, mobile apps, and more. With powerful and hassle-free performance, it's easy to get user experiences that work as well as they look on any screen. XD has a native layout for both Mac and Windows, and is only available on Creative Cloud.
Creative Cloud is a platform for creativity that connects users, content, applications, services, hardware, learning content, and the community. It gives business customers the creative tools and services they need to collaborate and create their best work, while making managing software fast, easy and flexible.
Principal functions
- From design to prototype in a couple of clicks: Connect artboards to turn your compositions into interactive prototypes. Use tools like the Repeating Grid to quickly duplicate contact lists, photo galleries, and other items on your artboards as many times as you like. Any changes you make will be updated everywhere.
- Versatile and fast work tables: Pan and zoom your canvas with no lag, whether you're working with dozens or hundreds of artboards. With XD, you can customize artboards to fit any screen size or device, and make copies of each other without losing the placement of your design elements.
- Symbol redesign: Turn the elements you use the most, like buttons or logos, into symbols that you can drag and drop on your artboards and reuse. Update one symbol and it will update everywhere. The symbols will remain linked when you copy and paste them into the files.
- Simple animations: Automatically animate micro-interactions like blur, move and zoom on your artboards. Export XD artboards and assets to your next Adobe After Effects project to create more advanced animations.
- 3D transformations: Create layers in depth, rotate through the planes and show your work in 3D, all with a single click. Go beyond flat panel design and create an amazing sense of reality in seconds.
- Get feedback faster so you can iterate faster: Share prototypes with your colleagues over the web directly from XD. Reviewers can include comments on specific areas of your prototype, and they are all consolidated in one place, so you can review and republish your work more quickly.
- Preview on mobile devices: Make sure your experience works as you expect by previewing your prototype on the same screens that you are designing for. The changes you make on your desktop will be reflected on your Android or iOS device.
- Voice for your prototypes: Activate your prototypes with voice to create interactions for smart helpers and other next-generation user experiences that take your experiences beyond the screen.
