About

Adobe's UI/UX design and prototyping tool for creating wireframes, interfaces, and interactive prototypes.

Overview

Adobe XD was Adobe's answer to Figma and Sketch in the UI design space, offering tight Creative Cloud integration and solid prototyping. However, Adobe's attempted Figma acquisition and subsequent deprioritization of XD has left its future uncertain.
