Adobe XD is a great tool for prototyping and interface designing

5.0 4 weeks ago New

Comments: My overall experience is great with adobe XD why because because the i have almost all the tools in one place and can use it for most of my work without going anywhere else

Pros:

I like the fact that has most of the tools available inside it so i can use it for multiple tasks and do not have to go anywhere else. I can create wireframes, prototypes, interface designs etc at the same place.

Cons:

Installing plugins and sometime the compatibility is very very hard. Cause you have to have adobe cloud app installed on your machine to use it with full functionality and install plugins. It should be stand alone and i do not want to dedicate my whole laptop to one family of softwares.

Very good software for web development

5.0 last month New

Pros:

Easy to use. I use it for creating wireframes mostly and also work in collaboration with designers and developers for specifications.

Cons:

I believe the software is being depreciated. There was an issue with some police sizes not representing an actual size when on the website.

XD for ux designers?

3.0 2 months ago New

Pros:

The interface is clean. It's a close environment to Adobe Photoshop. And transferring elements between Adobe products is easy.

Cons:

Prototyping is really the least likable thing in Adobe XD.

It's a powerful tool for design consistency and great workflow

5.0 3 months ago

Comments: Adobe XD helps to save time on work and enables me to add awesome animations to my projects. It's a better way for me to learn while doing.

Pros:

I use Adobe XD for web design and user experience purposes. For me, it's a great tool because it's time-saving and quality-driven.I use it to create web page user interfaces. It's pretty simple and offers more extensive features as compared to if I had to work only with website builders (that are somewhat limited).After creating the user interface, I export them in individual elements such as PNG or JPG files and sometimes PDF (for the entire page) which I use directly into WordPress using Elementor.It's an innovative way for me to get projects done on time whenever I feel they're bulky and I'm somehow pressurised by customers.Adobe XD empowers my designs with powerful animations that I could realize using extra tools like GSAP or similar alternatives.It's ease-of-use and versatility makes it one of my most recommended software for both web design and web development.

Cons:

Like any other Adobe product, XD can sometimes be challenging - with its extensive features, it can appear to be hard to learn and adapt to but with time, everything is because of a child's play.
