Adobe XD is a vector-based UI/UX design tool developed by Adobe, used for designing, prototyping, and sharing user interfaces for websites and mobile applications. It allows designers to create interactive wireframes, high-fidelity mockups, and clickable prototypes in a single platform.
In UI/UX and product design workflows, Adobe XD is commonly used to streamline the design process from initial concept to developer handoff. It supports real-time collaboration, reusable design components, and integration with other Adobe Creative Cloud tools.
For example:
- A UI designer creates mobile app screens and links them into a clickable prototype for user testing.
- A design team shares a website prototype with developers to review layout and interactions before coding.
- UX designers build wireframes to test user flow and navigation structure.
- Agencies use Adobe XD to present interactive design concepts to clients.
Common features and concepts related to Adobe XD include:
- Wireframing
