About

What is Adobe XD?

Adobe XD is a professional vector-based UX/UI design and prototyping tool built for designing websites, mobile apps, and digital experiences. Deeply integrated with the Adobe Creative Cloud ecosystem, XD enables designers to create wireframes, high-fidelity designs, and interactive prototypes with animated transitions. It supports co-editing, design systems with shared components and assets, and developer handoff. While Adobe has shifted its long-term focus, XD remains a capable tool for teams already embedded in the Adobe ecosystem.
