Adobe XD (also known as
Adobe Experience Design) is a vector-based user experience design tool for web apps and mobile apps, developed and published by Adobe Inc. It is available for macOS and Windows, although there are versions for iOS and Android to help preview the result of work directly on mobile devices. Adobe XD enables website wireframing and creating click-through prototypes
Adobe XD creates user interfaces for mobile and web apps. Many features in XD were previously either hard to use or nonexistent in other Adobe applications like Illustrator or Photoshop.
Repeat grid
Helps creating a grid of repeating items such as lists, and photo galleries.
Prototype and animation
Creates animated prototypes through linking artboards. These prototypes can be previewed on supported mobile devices.
Interoperability
XD supports and can open files from Illustrator, Photoshop, Photoshop Sketch, and After Effects. In addition to the Adobe Creative Cloud, XD can also connect to other tools and services such as Slack and Microsoft Teams to collaborate. XD is also able to auto-adjust and move from macOS to Windows. For security, prototypes can be sent with password protection to ensure full disclosure.
Content-Aware Layout
Design and edit components without the nudging or the tinkering. Content-Aware Layout aligns and evenly-spaces as you add,
remove, or resize objects. Make adjustments with smart controls and get back to exploring.
Voice design
Apps can be designed using voice commands. In addition, what users create for smart assistants can be previewed as well.
Components
Users can create components to create logos, buttons, and other assets for reuse. Their appearance can change with the context where they are used.
Responsive resize
Responsive resize automatically adjusts and sizes pictures and other objects on the artboards. This allows the user to
have their content automatically adjusted for different screens for different sized platforms such as mobile phones and PCs.
Plugins
XD is compatible with custom plugins that add additional features and uses. Plugins range from design to functionality, automation and animation.
Design Education
Adobe offers educational articles, videos and live streams through various mediums to help designers learn Adobe XD and best practices.
Adobe XD Learn Hub
Launched in 2021, the Learn Hub is a resource for learning and exploring everything that Adobe XD offers – from the Getting
Started series for beginners to advanced tips & tricks for designers looking to level up.
Adobe Live
With sessions just about every day of the week, Adobe Live – hosted on Behance – delivers online training for
a variety of applications, including Photoshop, Illustrator, Adobe XD, and more.
Adobe MAX
Every year, Adobe MAX brings the creative community together with over 350 sessions, hand-on labs, luminary
